Easy Braid Out Hairstyle

The products I use for my easy braid out hairstyle vary. For this one, I wanted to use a lightweight leave-in conditioner. I only used a small amount because I wanted my hair to have more volume. Feel free to use a gel, or leave-in-conditioner depending on your desired results. For me, I am careful not to use many heavy products such as coconut oil because products like these tend to weigh my hair down.

The next day, I removed the rubber bands from the ends of my hair and used my hair pick to fluff to my desired volume.
