Pincurl Braid-out vs Pincurl Twist-out

I decided to attempt a curly fro style that I saw on youtube - on the tutorial it was achieved by doing braids/plaits and pin curling them into place. With that technique I was able to achieve this look:

Pin Curl Braid-out

The style did not come out as curly as I wanted it so I decided to try it again with two strand twists and pin curl them into place. With that technique I got this look:

Pin Curl Twist-out

Neither were the look that I was going for but if I had to choose I like the pin curl braid-out more than the pin curl two strand twist-out.


Each time I did the style I followed this regimen:
1. Shampoo
2. Condition
3. Chicoro Layering Method (Leave-in conditioner, light oil, creamy base)
4. Braid/Twist and pin curl
5. Release when dry

If you have seen any curly fro tutorials that will yield the following look, please send them my way.

Satin Braidout

After the failed curl attempted on Sunday I decided to give the satin braidout a trial. I didn't have two satin scarves to use so I attempted to improvise and used the belts from two of my satin robes. But that didn't work.

So then I decided to just do a braid-out with 3 plaits/braids. One in the back and two in the front - one on each side. That worked a little better.

Braid-out

To achieve this look (on flat-ironed hair)

• Separate hair into three sections - 1 in the back an one on each side in the front
• Apply product of chioice - I used SheaMoisture Curl Enhacing Smoothie
• Braid quickly after applying product because the hair will start to poof is left loose for too long
• Let the hair dry or sleep with hair braided overnight
• Release the braids and fluff until all the hair is blended well and the parts are not visible

Since I have been struggling with keep my hair out and down - this 'do ended up in a bun by Noon.

First I set my hair:

Then I let it dry overnight, took out the braids, fluffed and:

My braidout isn't as fluffy and full as the Moptop Maven's and I know why. I braided my hair when it was soaking wet (I wasn't thinking). The drier my hair the bigger my hair when I do braidouts or twist outs. What I really liked about this style was the time that it took to achieve and the simplicity of the process.

BraidOut on Straight Hair

This was actually my first time doing a braid out on straight hair. I liked the waves and if I was so in need of a washing I would have worn this for a day or two.
