Micro braid is a name given to the braid which is very thin. Micro braids hairstyles can be worn by men and women of all races, although they are often associated with people who have African-textured hair.

Although this type of braiding can be done on natural hair, there are also a lot of hair extensions that are styled like micro braids. Braiding like this makes it easier to fix the extensions into the hair.

It is easy to do micro braids styles in your hair manually but it can take a long time to style your whole head like this.

Some people choose to use braiding machines instead. Three sections of hair are clipped into the handheld braiding device, and the machine then quickly plaits the hair into a micro braid. This is much quicker than styling the whole head manually.
