Hair Braids

Hair braids can be simple, elegant, and you can have one hair braid or many according to the style you wish to achieve. It is a popular style for summer for women with long hair because it allows the air to circulate to the scalp and helps to keep the wearer cool.

Many women and some men choose to don the tiny braids that often reveal their most recent escape from corporate life. Braided hairstyles are common in a number of other tropical locations, including Jamaica and countless other island destinations.

How to Braids Hair ?

Begin with clean, dry hair. You may want to blow-dry wavy or curly hair straight to give the braid a more even texture. Add some styling gel or pomade to hair to smooth flyaways and make hair easier to manage.

Divide tangle-free hair into three even sections. Place the left section between your left index finger and thumb, let the middle section hang free and place the right section between your right index finger and thumb.

The middle section with your right middle finger and pull it so it passes behind the right section. Extend your right thumb and index finger so the portion of hair therein becomes the middle section.

Use the left middle finger to pull the middle section behind the left section. Extend or straighten the left index finger and thumb to make the left section become the middle section.

Continue until you achieve the desired length of the braid. Make a tighter, more compact braid by pulling the middle section into a horizontal line as you pull it to the right or left. For a loose, elongated braid, simply shift the middle section to the right or left, letting it remain in a vertical line.
