Protective Styles: Marley Braids/Twists

This has to be one of my favourite protective styles because it gave me absolutely no stress.  My marley braids were done by "DazzlingBraidsByNell" and she did a great job.  The very first shot is my hair the morning before.  

Preparing my hair:

1. washing - I gave Angie a good scrub 
2. conditioning - you can use a deep conditioner but I used my favourite which is also a leave in 
3. leave in - I rinsed most of the knot today out of my hair and hopped out the shower. While my hair was still wet I added more knot today as my leave in 
4. leave more in - because moisture is important and I was using the dreaded heat (which I don't dread at all) as I sectioned my hair I sprayed on 
5. stretching - because my hair has massive shrinking issues I decided to make it easy for the stylist and blow dried my hair with a regular Conair blow dryer. So I A)sectioned B)conditioned C)added an oil
6. Sealed - with this oil which has an anti breakage serum. & I used my Denman and pulled my hair out. 

Below is the result:

Getting the marley hair wet - it wasn't as heavy as I thought
