Is that a old braid out?
I cant believe I'm just now finding this thread!!
I wear my hair in textured styles about 90% of the time.
Attached are pics of my braidouts, navy buns, mini braids etc...
Ya'll making me want to bust out a real braidout this week. I'm talkin' a super curly one.....hmmmm
@kandiekj100 that is Gorgeous!! Do you mind breaking down the steps you took to achieve this? I'm planning to do low-mani styles for the rest of the summer so I'm working on my braid out technique.
Babysaffy, I understand about the splits. My hair was super-fine from over-processing (when I first joined), splits everywhere. Tree splits, triple splits, mid-strand splits, splits on top of splits, just . Over the years, I've started texlaxing, dc'ing every wash, using a light protein reconstructor every wash, stopped using heat except for dusting/ trims (which I'm forced to do every month), etc... but I still have one weird section in the back of my head that splits like crazy.I'm copying and pasting my post from the relaxed bunning thread:
After finding some heartbreaking split ends last week I'm starting again with heat free and rocked my first bun for months to work today. Felt so cool and sophisticated in this heatwave lol.
Well, instead of just coating the outside of hair like most conditioners do, the tiny PEC molecules are able to enter the split ends of hair. Because the complex can stick to the damaged hair protein and to other complex molecules, it creates little bridges across the open ends of the splits. As your hair dries, the water evaporates from the complex causing it to contract. The force of this contraction pulls the end of the split hairs back together again. Once the PECs are dry they bind the split end shut.
