A Ladi's Tresses: Best Braid Out Ever

I LOVED my hair this day! I achieved this style by placing my hair in 10 braids, gently taking them apart, and then fluffing and separating hair to hide were my parts were. I braided my hair while it was wet and let it dry over night while in a satin bonnet. On wash day, I've been braiding my hair to stretch it as it dries and reduce tangling and single strand knots. In the morning, I will usually wear the braids under a hat/tam or loosen the braids to either rock a braid out or pull my stretched hair into a protective style.

Inspired: Meagan Good

For this post, I took a little inspiration from celebrity Meagan Good. When I saw this pic of her a few weeks ago, I instantly remembered a similar sweater that I had in my closet. Here's my take on the look:

Act Like A Ladi...Dress Like A Diva: Military Remix

Remember that jacket from my "Military Inspired" look? Well it is back with a twist! I mentioned that the jacket can be worn many ways, and this time I decided to convert it into a double-breast jacket. I paired it with black jeans and some plain flat boots because it was a rainy day.

A Ladi's Tresses: Loose Wave Twist-Out

I took a little break from protective styling and went back to my go-to style: the twist-out. My hair was pretty straight from a light blow out I did to stretch my hair for my protective style (and reduce single strand knots). I knew my blown out hair would create a more wavy look instead of tighter curls, but I also chose to make fewer flat twists to make even bigger/looser waves. Here are some pics of my twists at bedtime, and some shots of the results!
