Additional Tips:

1. Braid hair when it is either wet or damp, so you can catch all the loose ends inside the braid and form a clean, sleek style.
2. If you decide to sleep on your braids, use a silk pillowcase to keep the twist from frizzing or falling out.
3. It is quite easy to braid your layered hair when you haven’t washed it for over a day. It thus turns out to be more malleable and more accessible to braid
4. The tighter your braid is, the longer it will hold, so use a braiding technique like the fishtail or halo braid, to keep slipper hair from falling out.
5. If you’re trying to keep a twist intact for more than a day, don’t use products on your hair for the first day of the braid.

1. Hair Type:

• Maintaining longer hair is always better to style a braid.
• Braiding hairstyles are the best to style those thick hair as it keeps the hair in control and at the same time looks very chic.
• Braids stay stable on wavy or curly hair. On straight and soft hair braids could slip away changing the whole look. In that case, a dash of hair spray will do the trick.

2. Hair Accessories:

• Beads would look stunning on braids. They would not only look trendy and stylish but also keep the braids together.
• Spiral ribbons around the braid would look amazing on little girls and teenagers. They come in different colours to match the attire.
• Floral accessories and classy brooches work wonders to get ready for a wedding party.

3. Hair support:

• Braiding the hair is the best way to keep the hair in place, best to wear during summers and windy weather
• They look pretty on anyone with any face shape. Choosing the perfect braid for special occasions is important.
• A braided bun goes well with most of the formal events.
