Mistakes costing you bomb braid outs and twist out

Working with not properly detangled hair.

Detangle your hair before cleansing as you condition and right before twisting or braiding, you can’t afford a tangled mess. Hair with tangles and knots will give you a rugged and tangled twist and braid out. Always detangle your hair properly before wearing any style, a tangle and knot free hair will give a gorgeous hairstyle.

Equal sections.

Sectioning your hair is as important too. Your to twist and braid sections should be equal. We all have done it, the borrowing from one section cos the sections weren’t equal and almost ends up with frizz and a tangled twist and braid out. Always work with equal sections for a bomb twist and braid out.

Not using the right products.

Finding the right products for your hair texture is super important when it coming to nailing any style. Get a cream like moisture miracle curling cream for your twists that will give defined, fluffy twist and braid outs. Some leave in conditioners will give defined twists and braid outs too, like mikalla moisture boost works for me all the time.

Using too much or little product.

It’ll take you sometime to figure out the right amount for your hair but it worth the trials to get it right. As usual start small as you progress. Too little may not give you the definition and too much will weigh down your hair and most probably not dry by the time you taking down the twists and braids.

Not completely dry.

No one likes frizz on their hair and taking down your twists and braids still wet will get you that. Ensure your twists and braids are completely dry before taking them down. Squeeze the twists and braids on your finger to check if dry, if you notice moisture on your finger it ain’t time yet.

The take down

How you take down your twists and braid out matters. First, don’t use your nails if you have any broken nails or art work that would ruin your hair. Gently take down the braids and twists.

Too much fluffing

I know you want your hair full, show off the volume but too much of everything….. Fluffing and separation is okay when done moderately. Go slow with your hair pick and choose whether you want definition, volume or both.
