Possessing a delicate and attractive face is what women always desire. However, not everyone can find a hairstyle that suits their skin color and face shape, especially black women. When you’re dealing with natural black hair, braided hairstyles will always be your go-to. Years come and go, and hairstyles trend change but braids last forever. Hair braiding is an ancient art dating back to Egypt around 3500 BC. At that time, Africans braided their hair in response to their class, marital status, age, religion, and rituals.
Not only does the braided hairstyle look gorgeous, but it’s also a low-maintenance protective hairstyle for natural hair. First, natural hair will have less breakage when neatly braided. Second, braids promote faster hair growth than loose hair. The reason is it protects them from harmful external influences. Thus, the length of the hair is improved, just make sure you keep your braids for less than two months. Finally, the hair retains absolute moisture by braiding. That’s why nature lovers are so infatuated with braids.
The braid hairstyle can be kept in your hair for one to two months, therefore, it takes little effort to maintain. All you need to do is apply serum to keep the scalp healthy. In addition, you can redo the braids around the contour when they are tangled.
There are a few tips that you need to keep in mind before attempting these hairstyles. First, make sure to dry your curls to prevent harming your scalp. Second, tie your hair back with an elastic band. Third, apply a little serum to the hair before braiding to minimize dryness.
With so many ideas popping up all the time on IG and IRL, there’s no lack of braid options for black women. If you feel a bit overwhelmed, don’t worry. I will assist you in choosing the best braid style.
