How do I avoid rubber band creases and straight ends after taking my hair out of a braid?

Question

I LOVE the way my stick straight hair looks after putting it into two braids and then letting it loose! My only problem is that I always get those darned straight hairs at the bottom and the crease from where the rubber bands were tied that keep me from having the perfect braided wave look. Does anyone have any tricks or ways to get ALL of my hair to wave down to the last end without having those creases in my hair? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Braid your hair out to the end, and then wrap it into a bun, (something like Princess Leia, but not necessarily around your ears lol) Be sure to tuck the end into the bun so that it doesn't unravel. Then use a few hair pins (not bobby pins) to secure it. This way the braid will be secured and there won't be creases or any straight ends. Good luck!!

Answer 2

Unfortunately, the one way to do that would be braid it ALL the way to the tippity-tips. Otherwise, your best bet would be to use a curling iron to wave the remaining hair.

A tiny trick I used to use though, is instead of making a nice clean ponytail with the elastic, make a sloppy one, so the hair is all 'caught up' and leaving the elastic in different directions. it bends the hair in different shapes, so it doesn't leave you all straight!

Answer 3

The only thing you can do is:

Curl the ends either wet or dry.

Don't use rubber bands. Use hair elastics.

Or, get a waving/crimping iron and use that instead. You might be able to use it on your ends too if you braid.

Answer 4

make a tiny little chignon (bun) out of the last little bit of hair instead of letting it hang out of the elastic :)

and u might want to try a different kind of "rubber band" like something softer without a metal clasp...infact they make plastic hair ties specifically created to prevent creases

Answer 5

depends on your hair and how tight you tie the rubberband. try some other styles as well
