Cultured in Media

Alright, soooo the wig thing is just not for me. Maybe if I found a human hair one that looked beyond great on me, I would rock it but for now, no thank you. For this week, everyday, I have been wearing my hair in a fabulous braid out that I have been doing on unwashed hair. The last time I washed my hair was two weeks ago this upcoming Sunday. Each night before I go to bed, I braid hair into five long cornrows. Not too tight, and not too loose. The ends I roll up into each other and secure with a bobby pin. I have been getting so many compliments that I think I will wear this same style next week. The rate this is going, I may extend this "NO HEAT CHALLENGE" until April 12th. Who knows. Here are some pictures from this week so far.

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 soak...
