At least for me it does. It has been a while since I braided my hair, so I had no idea if my style would last all of last week, or what it would look like after a few days.
For the first couple of days, I rebraided my hair at night. By day 3, I stopped and I also stopped applying any type of conditioner to my hair (butter, leave-in, oils, etc.). What can I say? I got lazy with the nightly restyling! That’s another post, but I have really become used to styling my hair weekly. It is both a good and not-so-good thing!
The nightly reestyling routine kept the waves in my hair for most of the day, even though I was not rewetting. Once I stopped rebraiding before bed, my hair became significantly straighter, and within two days, I had straight hair with a slight wave pattern on the ends (the part that I wrap around itself before tying my hair).
Any of you ladies wear dry braidouts without rebraiding nightly? What is your routine, and what are your typical results?
And as always, how does the new week find you?
By Friday, my hair had to be up. It was getting dry and I had no desire to do it before the weekend!

Wow that’s interesting that yours gets straighter, mine gets bigger and more ‘fro like LOL! I will rebraid it sometimes, especially if it seems dry. I’ll add a creamy moisturizer and then rebraid. I need to do that tonight.
Interesting! Did you do yours on wet hair or dry hair? I am wearing one done on wet hair now and it looks nothing the same! I doubt this one will look straighter even after wearing it for a few days. I have a lot more definition in the individual strands to begin with, so straight hair is a long way off.
Gorgeous!!!
This also happens to me when I do braidouts as well as when I do twistouts. By day 3 or 4 my hair is pretty straight. I think it’s the tension on the hair like slowly pulls it straight.
Btw your hair looks great!
It looks really good! I haven’t tried braidouts yet. That’s a new project for me. Soon. but I have one section of hair in the front that does that when I wear old twistouts.
