Sometimes Less is More - My Best Braid Out to Date

Today I attempted another braid out, and I must say I was quite pleased with the results. By using less products this time around, I was able to achieve hair that had a lot more sheen, body, and softness.

Here's what I did to get this look:

Clarified with L'anza Daily Clarifying Shampoo followed by Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo

Conditioned with L'anza Nourishing Conditioner

Used Paul Mitchell The Conditioner [Leave-In]

Braided hair using Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding

Spritzed Oyin Handmade Juices & Berries on my hair after I finished all of the braids

This is the size of the braids, it generally takes me about 45 minutes to braid my entire head - I allowed my hair to dry for 6-8 hours prior to taking down the braids. To aid in the takedown process, I used a smidgen Afroveda Citrus Sunsilk Hair Oil.

This is what my hair looks like after I take the braids down. I haven't separated the "crinkles" at this point.
