CurlJournal: My braid-out using Shea Radiance products

I decided to blow-dry my hair this weekend for the first time in a while so that i can trim my hair. One of the issues I alway have with my blow-outs is what to do now that my hair is straight. I try to avoid buns but they usually end up happening which takes the fun out of even taking the time to blow out my hair.

I wanted to make sure that my hair wasn’t a mess at the Shea Radiance Target launch party (and I’m glad I did something because there were plenty of cameras around!) so I decided on a braid-out. Now I must say that I don’t actually like braid-outs on my hair and that is why you’ll rarely hear me talk about them. However, if I do cornrows instead of individual plaits, I LOVE how my hair comes out.

Here’s what I used:

I kept the process really simple.

ONE. I sprayed my ends with the Moisturizing Hair Milk  and combed them out a little.
TWO. I applied 2 or 3 pumps of the Maximum Curl Defining Cream.
THREE. I added a fingertips worth of the  Moisture Rich Hair Butter to seal in everything. (Plus, I saw rain in Sunday’s forecast and knew the butter would be key in holding my style in place.)
FOUR. I cornrowed each section. (I only did four big cornrows since my hair was blow-dried straight.)
FIVE. When I took down the cornrows the next day, I added a little more of the Hair Butter to my fingertips to minimize any frizzing.

Annnnnnnnnnd this is what I got!

And this is me on the way home from the party, happy that my hair lasted through the humidity:
