Butterfly Braids Hairstyles

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.

Butterfly braids, also known as Ghana braids or Cherokee braids, are a beautiful and intricate braided hairstyle that resembles the wings of a butterfly. This style involves creating small, tight cornrows or braids that are arranged in a symmetrical pattern to create a butterfly shape. Here's how you can achieve butterfly braids:

Start by parting your hair in the desired shape for the butterfly. This can be a central part with the wings extending on both sides or a more elaborate design with additional parts.

Begin braiding small cornrows or braids on each side of the part, starting at the hairline and moving towards the center. These braids should be tight and close to the scalp.

As you continue braiding, gradually incorporate additional sections of hair from the sides into each braid. This will create the butterfly shape and give the braids a fuller appearance.

Repeat the process on the other side, making sure the braids are symmetrical and aligned with the braids on the opposite side.

Once all the braids are complete, you can leave them as they are or style them further. You can gather the remaining hair into a ponytail or bun, or even create additional braided designs around the butterfly shape.

To finish, you can apply a small amount of hair gel or edge control to smooth down any flyaways and secure the braids.

Butterfly braids are intricate and time-consuming, so it's often recommended to seek the help of a professional hairstylist who has experience with this style. They can ensure the braids are neatly executed and achieve the desired butterfly shape.
