38 Gorgeous Must-Have African Braids Of This Year

by Ruby

Braids are both expensive and time-consuming to install. They are a protective hairstyle that can help keep your natural hair healthy, even in harsh weather conditions. They’re also low-maintenance and won’t harm the health of your hair or scalp. However, things can go wrong if you don’t maintain and care for your braids properly. As a result, in addition to some of the usual hairstyle photos that we have gathered, we will also provide you with some simple tips on how to care for that lovely African braid. 

4 Things To Remember When Rocking African Braids

Use Only Natural Moisturizing Products

You may have heard about the scalp benefits of mineral oils. Avoid braid moisturizers that contain mineral oils, even if you want them to hold as much moisture as possible for the best look. Remember that the products you use can either contribute to or prevent hair breakage. Instead, natural oils such as almond oil or coconut oil are your best bet. A natural leave-in conditioner can be used as a non-greasy moisturizer.

Don’t Tie Your Braids Every Time

Holding your hair in an updo all the time can damage the integrity of the hair edges. Avoid styles that require you to pull your braids too tightly. Braids are a protective hairstyle that should help keep your hair looking young. This is possible by experimenting with different hairstyles, as long as you avoid pulling them while styling.

Do Not Wear It For Too Long

Wearing your braids for an extended period of time is a common braid sin among most women. While it is a protective style, wearing it for an extended period of time is not recommended, especially if you do not want to go bald. For the sake of your scalp’s health and hygiene, avoid wearing braids for more than eight weeks; six weeks is considered ideal. Having twists, dread braid twists, crochet braids, or Bantu knots for months on end can damage your hairline and cause hair breakage.

Don’t throw caution to the wind at night after you’ve done everything you can to keep your braids in good condition during the day. Wrapping your braids before going to bed is a good habit to develop. A silk scarf protects the edges of the plant and keeps the roots from drying out. It also protects your hair from breakage, keeping the edges looking clean and fresh.
