A (Near) Perfect Braid-Out

Everyone loves a good braid-out. The style is easy and quick for most. 

What you will need:

  • Regular sized comb
  • Oil (I use JBCO)
  • Scrunchie
Usually, I do it on hair that was once a wash-n-go. Since my hair is not tangled when in wash-n-go's, I can usually just part and slowly comb out the hair to begin my braid. I almost forgot to mention, I use my homemade oil on my scalp, massaging it in as I go. Take a small size of leave-in conditioner/oil and rub through hair, making sure to hit the ends. 

Now you are ready to part and braid. I do two on the side with the rest going straight back. The smaller the braids are done, the more tiny crimps/curls you will have. In my opinion, I like the fuller look so I do mid-sized braids.



After you are finished braiding hair back, tie the scrunchie at the bottom of hair going the whole way down like above, I found this to have a more "curl" towards the end upon take-down.

Only thing left to do is spray over with water, not soaking wet, but enough for the braids to be moist.

Now all you need to do is wrap (if you choose) and wait for a few hours. The longer you keep the braids in, the more the look works. On the braid-out that I did, I air-dried and left them in overnight (about 6 hours).

THE TAKE DOWN:

Unleash the scrunchie, in the same direction that you braided, take the braids down in reverse to that slowly or it will be more frizzy. Simple.
You can fluff the hair after you are down to remove the "parts" that are in the hair. Just don't fluff to much or it will become bushy.

Mission Completed! You should now have a look similar to mine

COMEDIAN, EDDIE MURPHY HAS NINE CHILDREN

One of my favorite comedians is Eddie Murphy, but did you know that Eddie Murphy is more than just a comedian, he's a father of nine. Did you hear that, NINE children with five different women, five of nine children are with ex-wife, the super-beautiful, Nicole Mitchell-Murphy. Eddie makes beautiful offspring nonetheless. Eddie has three sons: Eric Murphy, Christian Murphy, and Myles Murphy. And six daughters: Bria Murphy, Shayne Murphy, Zola Murphy, Bella Murphy, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, and Izzy Murphy. Paulette Murphy Eric Murphy Eric Murphy is the son with Paulette McNeely. There aren't any pictures of Paulette or none taken with Eddie so that is a mystery in itself BUT I happen to stumble upon her picture and her work place from a source close to Eddie. Paulette works as a Medical Aesthetician & Body Contouring Expert. ________________________________ Christian Murphy is the son with Tamara Hood. It was said that Tamara Hood was to be cast in VH1's ...

HAIR OF THE DAY: BROOKE BAILEY

For those of you wondering if this is all of Brooke Bailey's hair.....I can let all of the inquiring minds know that YES, this is indeed her real hair, and not only is this her real hair, she is also natural.  She was asked on twitter if she perms or presses her hair out with a hot comb. She had responded by saying @brookebaileyinc LOL ...  I don't perm or press my hair. In this pic I washed it and let it air dry.  It seems as if she always had beautiful hair. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and looks very healthy. Her natural haircare line (in which she uses for her hair) will be launched shortly. I guess I may have to give it a try. Considering how shiny her hair looks, it can't be that bad. (Click to enlarge images)

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY: FLY TATTED SKY

Do you watch Black Ink NY? If so, did you notice how Sky's confidence level went to over "a hunnit" after she got the plastic surgery she has been dyin gto get. I mean she always had an outgoing personality, but now "it's all the way up." Congrats to Sky and that new body. What I love is that she didn't go too overboard like most people with injections/implants. Before : After:
