Happy Tuesday Everyone!!
This is a style that I saw on Jill Scott and was inspired to try it out. I was looking for someone who had actually done this style and found it at Her Best Hair. She inspires me with lots of her hairstyles as well. Check her out.
I cannot corn row decently, so I had it done by someone else. She did a wonderful job. The braids weren’t tight; neither were they pulling my hair at the edges. That was my biggest worry due to me having thin edges.
To prep for my braids I washed, conditioned, moisturized and sealed my hair. I also used a blow dryer to stretch the side of my hair that was going to be braided. I made sure to use the cool and warm settings. It wasn’t bone straight at all. I still had shrinkage but I wanted to make it easy for the stylist to handle. I did not blow dry the unbraided section of hair. I two strand twisted the unbraided section before I left to go and get the other side braided.....Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone with this explanation ;~).
To maintain the style, I moisturize, seal, and re-twist the loose hair every night. I moisturize the braided hair as well with a mixture of water, glycerin, and aloe Vera juice. I seal in the moisture into my braids lightly with oil. I then don a satin bonnet for the night.
I just wanted to share this with you all. Hope you enjoy!

this style is cute on you! i actually like it...can't say that it is all that becoming on jill scott...as much as i think she is the best. it just looks so unteal to me on her...almost undone...my opinion. but, i love so many of her other hair styles.
