When I braid my hair overnight to make it wavy the next day it comes out really uneven! Like great waves in some spots and other areas just have major issues... Any one have any tips or tricks to getting perfect frizz free waves??

You have to do multiple braids. The more hair you have the more you need. 2 sections for thinner hair and up to 5 for really thick hair. I always do reverse French braids because it makes all the waves even from top to bottom.

You have to test products that work with your hair I recommend L'oreal ever curl line of product and make sure ask your braid are the same size.

To solve the unevenness, just make sure the sections you're braiding are pretty small and most importantly even.
As for frizz, it comes with the state of your natural hair, the best thing you can do is work through a defrizz mousse before/after the process. xx

Try got2b Glossy Anti-Frizz Shine Serum! It's only $6 and my friend with really tight curly hair says this is a miracle! It has high ratings on makeupalley.com too:

I prefer rope braids to regular braids so there outcome is a little less frizzy- other wise I get an afro... recently I have been more into crimping my hair instead. You could always braid it and the crimp any sections that don't turn out!

With damp hair apply the curl activator and braid the sections and it works for me really nice :) hope it helps you too!

I personally, like doing two plaits and wrapping them around each other to form a bun :)

I do one French braid on damp hair overnight. When I take it out the next day, I put in Herbal Essences scrunching gel. I love it because it holds the waves, but also helps enhance them to make them really pretty!
