About Natural Hair Braids

Braids (also referred to as plaits) are a complex hairstyle formed by interlacing three or more strands of hair. Braiding has been used to style and ornament human and animal hair for thousands of years in various cultures around the world.

Natural hair braids are a popular and versatile hairstyle for people with natural hair. Braiding is a traditional method of styling hair that involves weaving or twisting sections of hair together. It can be done in various ways, allowing for a wide range of braid styles and designs.

Here are some popular natural hair braids:

Box Braids: Box braids are small to medium-sized braids that are created by sectioning the hair into square or rectangular sections. They can be styled in different lengths and thicknesses, and are often adorned with beads or other accessories.

Cornrows: Cornrows are narrow, flat braids that are created by closely braiding the hair to the scalp. They can be done in straight lines, curved patterns, or intricate designs. Cornrows can be worn as a standalone style or used as the foundation for other braided hairstyles.

Senegalese Twists: Senegalese twists are similar to box braids but are created with two strands of hair instead of three. This technique gives the twists a smoother and sleeker appearance. Senegalese twists are often created using hair extensions to add length and thickness.

Ghana Braids: Ghana braids, also known as banana braids or cornrow braids, are large cornrows that are braided straight back from the hairline. They can be done with or without hair extensions and are often embellished with beads or other decorative elements.

Fulani Braids: Fulani braids are inspired by the traditional braided hairstyles of the Fulani people of West Africa. They typically feature a central cornrow or braid that is decorated with beads, shells, or other adornments. The rest of the hair is usually styled in individual braids or twists.

Marley Twists: Marley twists are chunky, rope-like twists that are created using Marley hair extensions. They have a textured and slightly rough appearance, resembling natural hair. Marley twists are a popular protective style that can be worn for an extended period.

Remember to take proper care of your natural hair and scalp when wearing braids. Moisturizing the hair and scalp, avoiding excessive tension, and giving your hair regular breaks from braiding can help maintain healthy hair growth. It's also important to consult with a professional stylist who specializes in natural hair to ensure that your braids are done correctly and safely.
