Braidout vs Straight Hair: Showing Length Over Low Manipulation Styling

1 Comment

I haven’t worn a braidout in years and it used to be my daily style. My daughter told me my braidout for last night looked more like my natural curls than a style. Then I realized why I haven’t rocked a braidout lately. My vanity got the best of me and I realized that I don’t like how short it makes my hair look. Yep, shameful I know. It looks gorgeous and I must agree that it looked like my natural curls but it seemed so short.

Hair up and half down Braidout on texlaxed hair Ladies, am I the only one that has an all or nothing attitude when it comes to styling? I would rather wear my hair in a cute bun or flat ironed than to have it appear short than it is in a braidout or wash n go.

ETA: My hair has since grown out and my braidout still shrink to shoulder length. Click here to see pictures of my braidout at hip length.

Sidenote: Speaking of buns, I bought some (affiliate)  invisible hair nets from Sally’s tonight. They are super thin and I can’t wait to give them a try. I will post a pic when I try to use them out.

Anywho, my personal vanity does not mix well with wearing a braidout. I want my length to be seen, call me shallow. I spent a lot of time, money, and overall effort growing my Cherrelle (my hair) out and I want the product of my hair work to be seen. I don’t want folks looking at Cherrelle crazy. She is a diva and she likes to show it! What? Too much? IJS

Have you purchased anything new lately for your hair?

Do you prefer to show all of your length? Or, do you where a braidout?
