Braid outs

I just did a braid out and I have no clue how it will turn out.  So far, they haven't turned out as I liked.  My hair is curly so I guess it will be wavy or curly.  I am right. I just didn't like how my curly/wavy hair turned out.  It was not good, at least for me.  I really had no idea how to style a braid out much less straighten my hair.  My hair frizzes up whenever I try to straighten my hair.  Needless to say, I am glad that it is summer.
