Hair & Makeup

Curly Braidout in the Enchanted Forest

There are some days when you just have to go with the flow. The look featured in this video is an example of that, for I had to do a braidout on my curly hair after I ran out of my Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 Miracle Worker. Normally when I do a braidout, it's because I planned to wear one, and I therefore prepare my hair for it on wash day. You can tell the difference between a planned braidout, and an improvised one, as showcased in the following video. I also threw in a makeup look. Enjoy!

Thanks a million for using that Maybelline quad! I have about 3 of them and I am still trying to learn how to apply the makeup correctly. I thought buying makeup with "how to" directions would help me out. But I needed a visual, lol.
