Braid Out on Short Natural Hair

Did my 2nd #braidout! And I love it WAY better fluffed/separated than defined!

Check out this video on this look :) 

I washed my hair the other night, squeezed out almost all of the water. Distributed MixedChicks Leave-In, then smoothed on SheaMoisture Curl & Style Milk for each half. I parted my hair in 4 sections with clips, working counter-clockwise (although it doesn't matter) from bottom-right. The first section, I just took random 1" sections and braided them. After this, I realized the hair wasn't that smooth and I wanted to minimize as much frizz as possible! So for the rest of my hair, I used my Denman Brush to smooth the hair then braided. I also made sure to apply SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie to each section for additional hold and moisture. Once finished, it was still a bit damp so I took my diffuser on warm, low and dried it a bit so I wouldn't wake up with wet hair. This morning I put Castor Oil on my scalp then put Coconut Oil on my hands and proceeded to take down the braids. I used my nails to pull and separate each strand in each braid so I wouldn't disrupt the defined pattern to limit frizz.

Process below:

The bigger the better I tell ya! This might be my new go-to, as long as I can put in the little more effort and time to achieve it!

Multiple Accounts in Instagram

I found a miraculous way to manage both of my Instagram accounts in the Instagram app itself! No more having to download an app to ensure I can use these 2 accounts of mine. I hated having to sign out of Instagram in one account, sign into the other and constantly going back and forth. So here is the solution: To add other accounts into your Instagram: Open Instagram > Options > Add Account > Sign into other account > Account Added To switch between multiple accounts in Instagram: In Instagram, Tap on account name at the top > Select desired account Visual below:  Step 1: Add Account Step 2: Switch Account So easy and I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon it! I'm hoping this will help other business owners who manage multiple accounts such as their personal and business. This will help me post on Instagram more frequently.
