Box Braids
One of the most sought-after protective styles for natural hair is box braids. They can be created using your locks or extensions and can accommodate various lengths and hues of hair. Accessorize your box braids with stunning hair rings to add an elegant flair. Pair this look with burgundy accents for a refined finish.
Cornrows
Cornrows are one of the most iconic natural hair plaiting styles. They can be worn alone or used as the basis for other protective looks like feed-in braids. Corners will get noticed and garner compliments from classic patterns to creative variations. For a unique finish, try the lemonade braids style with zig-zag patterns. Add an eye-catching box braided fringe to your cornrows for maximum impact, just like Janelle Monae or Keke Palmer.
Senegalese Twists
Senegalese twists are an attractive protective hairstyle that blends kinky extensions seamlessly into natural locks. They protect strands from heat styling, environmental conditions, and color treatments while promoting new hair growth. Create a simple yet chic style with a deep side part and Senegalese twists. Medium-sized twists look beautiful and save time. Sweep your long twists into a low twisted bun for a chic look for special events.
Individual Braids
Regarding braids, the options are limitless, but factors such as hair density, texture, and length should be considered. Consult a stylist specializing in braiding to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different braid styles. Try side-swept Ghana braids for an effortless, low-maintenance style that protects against frizz and humidity. Alternatively, request tighter coils to create a Nubian twist braided hairstyle.
Braid Out
Braid outs are a protective style that enhances the natural curl pattern of your hair. They are easy to create and look beautiful. Use a leave-in conditioner and moisturizer tailored to your hair type to achieve optimal results. Braid your damp hair and let it air dry overnight. When removing the braids, use a comb or afro pick to unravel them slowly while applying oil as necessary to avoid frizz. Braid outs are suitable for women of all ages and can be paired with any outfit.
