2. Rub a dime-size amount of pomade between your fingers, and then smooth it over the braids to smooth any fly-aways. Once your hair is dry, take out a few random braid elastics and rake through the braids with your fingers. Re-secure the braids halfway up the hair shaft, leaving half a braid intact each time.
3. Finish with a light-hold hairspray.
