Step 4: Braid

Remove the band from one section of pre-parted hair, and apply oil to the base. Fold a section of braiding hair in half around the base of the natural hair section. You will now be holding three sections of hair – the two ends of braiding hair and one section of natural hair.

Braid these three strands together normally, redistributing the natural hair and braiding hair between the strands as you go to keep them even. Repeat this process on each section of parted hair until you’ve braided the whole head.

Step 5: Seal

Fill a cup with hot water from the tap or boiling water that has cooled. Dip the ends of each braid in hot water to seal and smooth them. Do not use scalding-hot water.

Poetic Justice Braids

Poetic justice braids can be fabulously styled using jumbo colored hair, head wraps, bandanas, or even beads. To create a full look, you will need 8-9 packs of hair. You can even opt for more than one shade.

In the color department, your options are vast. You can play with the thickness and go for really thin knits or a chunky voluminous hairstyle. You will fall in love with them in a heartbeat, and we will help you find more ways of styling them.

1. Half Braided

To play with texture in your hair, only braid each section halfway. This style features straightened ends, but you can also curl them to dress up the look.

2. Curly Red Braids

A medium shade of red is bold but not bright, perfect for women who appreciate a fierce hair color but don’t want anything on their face. These half curly braids have been styled into a fun half bun/half ponytail hairdo. 

3. Long and Thin

A lot of thin Poetic Justice braids create a much different look than chunky braids. These are softer, accentuate length, and look very boho with a colorful flowered headband.
