Monday Motivation: Natural Hair Braid Out

Sometimes, you have to trick your mental health to feel good. With the overcast, I had to do my hair today. I achieve these beautiful waves daily by starting with pre-stretched hair. You can straighten, blow-dry, or band your hair.

Then I section my hair off into 10 to 12 sections separating 3 sections by my nape, 6 sections in the middle, and 4 sections in the crown of my head.

Then I take a section, detangle, add a quarter size of foam wrap lotion (warmed between my hands) through the ends of my hair. I then detangle again. Next, I add a pea-size amount of Kandidkreme to my ends. I smooth through to keep my ends stretched. Lastly, I braid each section, leaving about 1 inch of hair unbraided at the bottom.

After every section is braided, I'll Bantu knot each section. If you want a looser curl, knot multiple sets together. For tighter curls, knot individual sections.

I sleep on this style, allowing the heat from my head to lay my edges. In the morning, I unravel, pick the roots, and fluff to my desired liking.
