Update: Picture Day Style!

I decided to change up Anisa's Mixing the Old with the New style for picture day. A majority of the braids were removed for a braid out. As you can see in the above picture, I kept some of the cornrows in the front and changed them up a little bit. I also added a simple roll twist in the front to help frame her face. Nice and simple!! 

The above pics were taken the night before picture day after I finished removing her braids. I also detangled her hair with my fingers. 

The night before picture day I coated her hair with Oyin Handmade Hair Dew and placed her hair in two strand twists. Next, I rolled the twists using flexi-rods. Her hair was then covered with a satin bonnet for bedtime. Here are the results: 

What did you do for picture day? Please share!!! 

Final Update: Braid/Twist Out

At the end of the Day 2, 4, and 5 Updates post I mentioned that the next style would be a braid/twist out. I decided to go with a twist out on Day 6. I unraveled her twists while leaving the cornrows intact. Due to the overall fullness of her hair, the cornrows were barely seen.

Later that night, I moisturized her twist out with Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk and Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer.  I grabbed sections of her hair and made large two-strand twists for bedtime. Her hair was then covered with her satin bonnet.

The next day was Smurf day and she was very excited! She slipped a note under my bedroom door the night before that said, "Wear blue tomorrow!" Lol!! She had her blue dress and silver sandals laid out the next morning! She was ready!!

I decided that this would be the day for the full braid/twist out. I took down her large two-strand twists and cornrows and moisturized her hair once more with the Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk. Here are the results:
