Have you all but given up on braid out because your curls are never as defined as you'd want? Is your hair not thick enough? Not long enough and you always end up with a failed braid out? Well worry no more! The use of satin strips should put your worries to rest. A few years ago I came across this technique from ZanandRob and Nina Pruitt and suffice it to say, the use of satin strips for my braid out have made my life easier. My go to braid out consists of two jumbo braids that yield volumnous curls the next day for easy styling. The pineapple method also makes this style last a few days. I especially love this hair style because it blends the two textures quite easily and is making the transition process a little simpler.
What will you need?
- Satin strips (cut to a length and width that you desire)
- Water based moisturizer
- Spray bottle filled with your favorite liquid (to dampen hair)
- Oil (for sealing)
- Silk/satin scarf
- Hair ties/clip
Over Night Procedure
- Part hair into four sections and separate using clips/hair ties
- Moisturize and seal each section
- Lightly dampen hair
- Braid hair in desired style incorporating satin strips
- Once done, cover hair with satin/silk scarf
The Take Down
- Its best to place your favorite oil on your fingertips during the take down process
- Gently remove the satin strips and separate the curls
- Proceed to style your hair as desired
