Thanks for stopping by! To answer your questions I use "Tasha" or "black and gold" brands when doing my kinky twists and I se perm rods to curl the ends.
I have only had 1 successful attempt at a braid out thus far. The day prior I banded with satin scrunchies and rocked a stretched afro. When the day was done I plaited my hair in what I consider medium sized sections to achieve the braid out shown in my april-jun 2010 album
