Tools:

Air-Dry Prep Tools
Multiple Satin Covered Rollers

Steps:

1. Watch and complete the Air-Dry Prep. Lightly towel dry but leave the hair wet.
2. Create a center or side part.
3. Make a vertical section and brush down roots with a boar bristle brush.
4. Tightly braid the hair. Secure the ends with a roller.
5. Keep making vertical braids until the hair is completely braided. Smooth down any fly-aways and cover with a satin cap.
6. Let dry overnight and then unravel. Make sure the hair is completely dry before unraveling or the curls will drop and frizz.
8. To style, wear down, up in a ponytail, bun or updo.
9. At night, apply a dime size of oil to each section and rebraid to maintain the curl.

I love this method because it is a quick and easy way to air-dry all hair types and lengths. This style can be completed in 15 minutes and will dry overnight. This makes is great for frequent exercisers, students, busy moms and anyone else who needs a quick and easy style. It require very little manipulation and can help control and maintain new growth. Unlike other braid out techniques, you can easily rebraid it each night, keeping the curls soft and fresh.

Additional Tips

1. If you have thick hair, it might be best to sleep on a cotton pillowcase for this style. The cotton will help absorb the excess moisture as the hair dries. Since the hair is plaited, it won't cause too much friction along the hair shaft..

2. Make sure the hair is 100% dry or the curls with drop and frizz.

3. At night, apply a dime size amount of oil or moisturizer and scrunch into the hair. Rebraid and cover with a du rag. Or, lightly brush out the waves with a boar bristle brush, apply a dime size amount of oil and then rebraid. This will create a softer look.

4. Spray with oil sheen for additional shine!

5. If you don't wish to rebraid, pin up the curls as they drop. So, for instance, I will wear my hair down the first day, half up/half down the second day, in a curly ponytail the third day and in a curl bun the fourth day. Then, I will wash and re-braid.
