Braids & Braidouts


When I was in the Virgin Islands I styled my box braids most days. Unfortunately my good intentions to take photos of all those styles fell way short. Here are a few shots I did remember to take near the beginning of the trip. The front was flat twisted into a side ponytail in the back. Enjoy!

Cute huh? What do you think?

Until next time Glam Fam I wish you

I‘m catching up with posts and want to share the blowdried box braids that I’ve been rocking under my wig for the past month. These photos were taken on December 20th, right after I took the “wrapped braids” down from how they were pinned up under the wig, and right before I washed them to leave on our trip to the Virgin Islands the following morning.

To see how I was wearing them under the short wig click here.

Enjoy!

By the time these photos were taken I’d probably had my hair blowdried for a month and the braids in for 2 weeks.

Like I said, immediately after I took these shots I washed the braids, sat under the bonnet dryer, and got prepared to leave on my trip to the Virgin Islands the following AM (at 4AM I might add *yawn*)

Stay tuned for a few more shots of how these braids fared during my trip.

Braidout

This braidout was so “perfect” I had to share it with ya’ll!  It was done on damp hair with Sénica  Senk conditioner as a leave-in right after filming my scalp sugar scrub video and washing.
