For KNOTLESS
While knotless braids are generally gentler on the scalp and hair, proper installation and maintenance are key to preventing hair damage and ensuring the longevity of the style.
- Hair Preparation: Start with clean, detangled, and well-moisturized hair. This ensures the braids are neat and reduces tension on the scalp.
- Sectioning the Hair: Divide your hair into sections based on the desired size of the braids. Smaller sections lead to thinner braids and vice versa.
- Starting the Braid: Begin each braid with your natural hair, without adding extensions. This helps create a smooth, ‘knotless’ base at the scalp.
- Gradual Addition of Hair Extensions: Slowly feed in small amounts of braiding hair as you braid down. This gradual addition helps maintain a uniform thickness and reduces bulkiness.
- Maintain Even Tension: Apply consistent tension while braiding to ensure the braids are not too tight (which can cause damage) or too loose (which can lead to unraveling).
- Sealing the Ends: Secure the ends of the braids. You can do this by dipping them in hot water, using hair bands, or burning them slightly, depending on the type of hair used.
- Scalp Care: Keep your scalp moisturized and clean while wearing knotless braids. This prevents itching and promotes hair health.
- Sleep Care: Wear a silk or satin scarf or use a silk/satin pillowcase when sleeping. This reduces friction and prevents frizz, keeping the braids looking neat for longer.
For Boho Knotless
The essence of Boho knotless braids is in their versatility and the freedom to express your personal style, so feel free to adapt these pointers to suit your individual taste and hair type.
- Variety in Braid Size: Incorporate a mix of different braid sizes for a more bohemian and eclectic look. Combine thinner and thicker braids to add texture and dimension to the style.
- Incorporate Loose Waves: Along with braids, leave some sections of hair loosely waved or curled. This creates a more relaxed, boho vibe compared to the uniform look of traditional braids.
- Adding Hair Accessories: Embellish your braids with bohemian-inspired hair accessories like wooden beads, feathers, or metallic cuffs. This adds a unique and personalized touch to your hairstyle.
- Use of Natural-Looking Extensions: Choose extensions that closely match your natural hair texture and color. For a more authentic boho look, go for extensions that offer a slightly sun-kissed or highlighted effect.
- Creative Parting: Instead of a straight, center part, experiment with zig-zag or side parts. Irregular parting adds to the laid-back, unconventional charm of the boho style.
- Messy Finish: Aim for a slightly undone look. Boho knotless braids aren’t about perfection; they should look a bit lived-in, with a relaxed and effortless feel.
- Layering Braids with Loose Hair: Combine braids with loose hair layers around the face. This framing technique enhances the free-spirited appearance and adds softness to the overall look.
For UP DO
It’s a great way to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your look.
- Hair Preparation: Start with clean, straightened or stretched hair for easier handling. Apply a light moisturizer or heat protectant if you’re using heat to straighten your hair.
- Sectioning for Stitch Braids: Carefully section the hair where you want the stitch braids to be.
- Creating Stitch Braids: Begin braiding each section, using the underhand technique. To create the “stitch” effect, use a small amount of hair gel on each section before you add it to the braid.
- Uniformity in Braids: Keep the size of the braids consistent for a polished look. The stitches should be evenly spaced and similar in size across all braids.
- Gathering the Ponytail: Once the stitch braids are done, gather all your hair, including the ends of the braids, into a ponytail. Use a sturdy hairband to secure it
- Smoothing Edges: Apply edge control gel to lay down and style your edges. This adds a clean, sleek look to the hairstyle.
- Wrapping the Base: Take a small section of hair from the ponytail or use an additional piece of extension, and wrap it around the base of the ponytail to hide the hairband. Secure it with bobby pins.
- Finishing Touches: Use hairspray or a spritz of oil sheen for a glossy finish. If you like, add hair accessories such as beads or cuffs for an extra touch of style.
For BACK PONYTAIL
Back ponytail with stitch braids is an elegant and sophisticated hairstyle that combines the sleekness of a ponytail with the detailed artistry of stitch braids..
- Start with Clean, Straight Hair: For the best results, begin with hair that is clean, detangled, and straightened. This provides a smooth base for both the stitch braids and the ponytail.
- Precise Parting: Use a rat-tail comb for precise parting. Decide where you want your stitch braids to be, usually from the front or sides, going towards the back where the ponytail will be gathered.
- Applying Gel for Sleekness: Before starting the braiding process, apply a strong-hold gel to the sections of hair where the stitch braids will be. This helps in creating neat and defined braids.
- Technique for Stitch Braids: Use the underhand braiding technique to create your stitch braids. Add small amounts of hair as you braid along to create the ‘stitches’. Keep the tension consistent for a neat appearance.
- Secure Braids and Gather into a Ponytail: Once your stitch braids are complete, gather them along with the rest of your hair at the back of your head. Secure everything into a ponytail using a sturdy hair tie.
- Smoothening and Laying Edges: Apply edge control around your hairline and use a brush to smooth and style your baby hairs. This adds a refined look to the hairstyle.
- Wrap the Base of the Ponytail: Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base to conceal the hair tie.
- Finishing Touches: Use a light hairspray or a shine spray to add a finishing gloss to the hairstyle. If desired, add decorative hair accessories like small jewels or beads for an extra touch of elegance.
For STICH BRAID
Creating stitch braids, a variation of cornrows with a more defined, patterned appearance, requires precision and practice.
- Hair Preparation: Begin with clean, detangled hair. It’s important to have a smooth, manageable base. If your hair is naturally curly or kinky, consider blow drying it straight for easier handling.
- Moisturize and Protect: Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair moisturizer to keep your hair hydrated. This is crucial for preventing breakage, especially if you have textured hair.
- Sharp Partings: Use a rat-tail comb for precise parting. Stitch braids rely heavily on the neatness of the sections. The sharper and cleaner the partings, the more defined the braids will look.
- Applying Gel for Neatness: Use a firm-hold gel or edge control along the parts to keep flyaways at bay and to help maintain the neatness of each section as you braid.
- Start with Small Sections: Begin each braid with a small section of hair, gradually adding more hair as you proceed. This helps create the ‘stitch’ effect and keeps the braid close to the scalp
- Even Tension: Maintain consistent tension as you braid. This is crucial for ensuring that the braids are not too loose
- Maintain Braid Thickness: Add similar amounts of hair to each ‘stitch’ to keep the braid uniform in thickness. Uneven additions can make the braid look lumpy or irregular.
- Secure the Ends: Depending on your hair type and the style you’re going for, you can secure the ends with small bands, thread, or simply taper them down if they’re long enough to hold.
For INVISIBLE BRAIDS
Invisible braids are a type of hair extension technique where tiny, thin braids are created with the added hair barely noticeable, blending seamlessly with your natural hair
- Choose the Right Hair Extensions: Select high-quality synthetic or human hair extensions that closely match your hair texture and color. This ensures that the braids blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
- Prepare Your Natural Hair: Start with clean, well-moisturized, and detangled hair. This will make the braiding process smoother and more manageable.
- Section Hair Neatly: Use a tail comb to create small, even sections of hair. The size of these sections will determine the thickness of your braids. Smaller sections result in finer, more invisible braids.
- Start with Small Braids: Begin each braid by tightly plaiting your natural hair. After a few stitches, gradually feed in the extension hair. This technique helps to make the transition between your hair and the extension less noticeable.
- Keep Tension Consistent: Maintain consistent tension as you braid to ensure the braids are neither too loose nor too tight. This helps in preventing scalp discomfort and ensures the braids lay flat and blend well.
- Braid to the Ends Carefully: As you reach the end of each braid, taper off by decreasing the amount of added hair. This helps in keeping the ends neat and less bulky.
- Moisturize Scalp and Hair: Regularly moisturize your scalp and the length of your braids to keep your hair healthy and prevent it from getting dry and brittle.
- Nighttime Care: Wrap your hair with a silk or satin scarf or use a silk pillowcase when sleeping. This helps in reducing friction, which can cause frizz and may lead to the braids loosening prematurely.
For BUTTER FLY LOCS
Butterfly locs are a popular protective hairstyle that offers a bohemian, distressed look. They are similar to faux locs but are more textured and have a ‘butterfly’ effect with loose strands poking out along the locs.
- Hair Preparation: Start with clean, moisturized, and thoroughly detangled hair. It’s important to have a healthy base before adding any extensions.
- Choosing the Right Hair: Select the appropriate hair extensions. Most people use a combination of wavy hair (like water wave hair) for the distressed look and a smoother type for wrapping (like Marley hair or kanekalon hair).
- Base Braid/Foundation: Begin by braiding or twisting your natural hair. This will serve as the foundation for the locs. They don’t have to be perfect as they will be covered.
- Attaching the Wavy Hair: Attach the wavy hair to your braid/twist. This hair will eventually be wrapped to form the locs. You can do this by crocheting it into the base of the braid or twisting it in.
- Creating the Locs: Start loosely wrapping the smoother hair around the braid and the wavy hair. Allow some of the wavy hair to poke out in places, creating the ‘butterfly’ effect.
- Vary the Wrapping Tension: Don’t wrap the hair too tightly. The beauty of butterfly locs lies in their distressed, slightly undone appearance. Vary the tension and allow some bumps and loops for texture.
- Securing the Ends: Secure the ends of your locs. You can do this by burning them slightly, using a small elastic band, or wrapping them until they naturally seal on their own.
- Length and Size Variations: You have the freedom to choose the length and thickness of your locs. Butterfly locs can be waist-length for a dramatic look or shoulder-length for something more subtle. Similarly, you can vary the thickness based on your preference.
For FAUX LOCS
Faux locs are a versatile and protective hairstyle that mimics the look of traditional dreadlocks without the long-term commitment.
- Hair Preparation: Start with clean, well-moisturized, and thoroughly detangled hair. This preparation is crucial for a smooth installation process and the overall health of your hair.
- Choose Quality Extensions: Select high-quality synthetic or human hair extensions for your faux locs. Marley hair or kanekalon hair are popular choices due to their texture and ease of use.
- Sectioning the Hair: Divide your hair into sections according to the desired size of your locs. Remember, smaller sections are used for thinner locs and larger sections for thicker ones.
- Base Braiding: Braid or twist each section of your natural hair. This will serve as the foundation for the faux locs. Ensure the braids/twists are not too tight to avoid unnecessary tension on your scalp.
- Wrapping Technique: Wrap the extension hair around each braid/twist from the root to the ends. Keep the wrapping consistent and neat for a uniform look. Make sure the wrapping is not too tight, as this can lead to discomfort and potential hair damage.
- Seal the Ends: Seal the ends of the faux locs to prevent them from unraveling. This can be done by using a lighter to slightly burn the ends, dipping them in hot water, or using hair glue, depending on the type of hair used.
- Maintain Scalp Health: It’s important to keep your scalp moisturized and clean while wearing faux locs. Use light oils and avoid heavy products that can cause build-up
- Nighttime Care: Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf or use a satin pillowcase when sleeping. This helps to reduce frizz and tension, keeping your faux locs looking neat for a longer period.
For PASSION TWIST
Passion twists are a gorgeous and trendy protective hairstyle, known for their loose and bohemian-like twists.
- Hair Preparation: Start with clean, deeply conditioned, and detangled hair. This prep work ensures that your natural hair remains healthy underneath the twists and makes the installation process smoother.
- Selecting the Right Hair: Usually, passion twists are created using water wave synthetic braiding hair because of its texture and curl pattern. Choose a hair type that matches your desired twist size and length.
- Proper Sectioning: Divide your hair into sections based on the desired size of your twists. Consistent sectioning leads to uniform twists. Use hair clips to keep sections neat.
- Moisturize Each Section: Before twisting, apply a light moisturizer or leave-in conditioner to each section. This step is crucial for protecting your natural hair while it’s in a protective style.
- Twisting Technique: Take a section of the synthetic hair and divide it into two strands. Begin twisting by wrapping these strands around your natural hair, adding more synthetic hair as needed to keep the thickness consistent.
- Secure the Twist: As you reach the end of each twist, secure it to prevent unraveling. You can twirl the end around your finger or use a small amount of holding gel.
- Maintain the Twists: Sleep with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet to protect your passion twists at night. This will help reduce frizz and maintain the twist’s definition.
- Scalp Care: Keep your scalp hydrated and clean throughout the duration of wearing the twists. Lightly apply scalp oils and avoid heavy build-up.
For ROPE TWIST
Rope twists, also known as Senegalese twists, are a popular protective hairstyle that involves twisting hair extensions around sections of natural hair.
- Hair Preparation: Begin with clean, moisturized, and thoroughly detangled hair. This makes the twisting process smoother and helps maintain the health of your hair.
- Choosing Extensions: Use good-quality kanekalon, marley, or synthetic hair extensions that match your hair texture for a natural and seamless look. The type of hair you choose can affect the overall look and feel of the twists.
- Sectioning the Hair: Create even sections for your twists. The size of these sections will determine the thickness of your twists – smaller sections for thinner twists and larger sections for thicker twists.
- Applying the Extensions: Attach the extension to the natural hair at the root. A common method is to divide the extension into two equal parts, place them around the natural hair, and start twisting.
- Twisting Technique: Twist each section of hair by wrapping the two strands around each other. Ensure you twist the strands in the same direction as you wrap them around each other for a uniform look.
- Maintaining Tension: Keep a consistent tension as you twist. This ensures that your twists are neither too loose (leading to unraveling) nor too tight (causing discomfort or damage).
- Securing the Ends: To prevent the twists from unraveling, you can seal the ends with a small knot, use a little hair glue, or dip them in hot water (especially for synthetic hair).
- Scalp and Hair Care: Look after your scalp and natural hair while wearing rope twists. Moisturize your scalp regularly, and avoid pulling or twisting the hair too tightly.
