I achieved this look by doing 7
cornrows on freshly washed hair.
I placed a small amount of Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream to each section of wet hair before braiding. For a more defined frizz free curl, leave braids in until hair is completely dry.
(Just so you know: 12hrs wasn't enough..My hair was still damp).
If I wasn't running late to class, I would've blow dried the braids before taken them out...
Oh well, it still came out cute anyways!

Con's

- Leaves residue

- Light hold: If not doing a braid out, twist out, bantu knots etc.
All in all, I really like this product. I'm not in LOVE with it, but it does do a good job defining my curls when doing braid outs. I've tried applying this to my wet hair without during any braid out's, twists, bantu knots etc & hated the results. Seeing how my hair is extremely thick, I felt the product was to light to hold in my curls when just brushed threw wet hair. It ended up leaving my hair looking like a hot frizzy mess by the end of the day.
