SO...i decided that i wanted to try a braidout 
. I did one the night before and last night, and the second one has much more success! The first night, i parted sections all over and did individual braids, using a little leave in and a couple sprays of S curl no drip ( rubbed my palms) and smoothed over the section before braiding. I then put a dab of Castor Oil over the braid and on the ends before curling the ends with perm rods. I wore a satin cap and unraveled in the morning....then VOILA
! I used as little manipulation as possible, and with a rattail comb, I teased only the sections where the parts showed. Over time, it looked better to me, but it did look a little frizzed by evening. I did not want to go for second day hair yet, so i decided to try it again using smaller braided sections. I really like how they came out today. I followed the braidout from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnwHlqk_Xk0 which i found in one of the threads. Mines is not as beautiful as hers, but i think it works well with my shorter hair. Tell me what you think, and share your braidout stories too! I am looking to improve this style for myself and others; i think it could be a great protective style for me to aid in growing! Thanks Ladies!!!
