How to do a Braid Out on Relaxed or Natural Hair

Are you looking for a sexy alternative to curling your hair with traditional hair rollers and curling irons? This is a style that will work on relaxed or natural hair. You do not need extensive hair braiding skills to achieve a sexy braid out. Here are some quick tips to help you create this hair style.

Things You'll Need

• Wide tooth comb
• Alcohol free styling gel
• Satin scarf for nighttime

Instructions

1. If you have natural hair it is best to start with clean conditioned hair.This can be done on dry relaxed or pressed hair. Section your hair based upon, how tight you would like the waves in your hair to appear. If you would like tight waves section the hair in smaller sections. If you have a longer length you can obtain good results with larger sections.

2. Apply a light holding product throughout the entire length of each section. Apply cornrow type braids, or plats if you can not corn row. If your hair is relaxed add a hair roller to the ends, or coil the ends, wrap each braid around itself at the base into a bantu knot.

3. Take your hair down, when it is completly dry.Lightly finger comb at the root, so that your parts are not seen. Use this style often to prevent breakage from heat based styling products.

Tips & Warnings

• Mist your hair with shine spray to add sheen to your hair.

• Sleep in a silk or satin hair bonnet to protect your hair style.
