Braid-outs are easy to accomplish, and because they're tighter and create more tension, they allow you to achieve a little more length than you would with a twist-out. As demonstrated in the above video, all you have to do to pull it off is install several braids throughout freshly washed hair. If your hair is wet, you can keep the braids in for several hours or as long as it takes your hair to dry, but if you're installing them on dry hair and you still want your curls to look as defined as possible, you'll likely have to keep them in longer.
