I started this style on clean freshly deep conditioned hair. I used Original Sprout Leave In Conditioner, Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, and Ouidad’s Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel
I put my hair in 8 cornrows and let them dry completely. The next morning I unbraided the braids for a braid out.
Here are the results:
Front: 12.5 in
Sides: 13 in
Top Middle: 12 in
Back: 9.5 in
Here are my last measurements from 12/29/2011:
Front: 10.5 in (gained 2.5 in)
Sides: 11 in (gained 2 in)
Top Middle: 12 in (remained the same)
Back: 7.5 in (gained 2.5 in)
Here are more pics:
For the front section I decided to keep one braid in, just to spice things up a little. 🙂
Enjoy!

Cute! You just inspired me to do a braid out today…. was just out of the shower and about to pony it up. Thanks!
Thanks! I am glad I could inspire you 🙂
Beautiful braid-out!
