Similar to tribal braids, two layer braids involve braids that move in two different directions from a part on the hair. The part doesn’t have to be in the center, though. Creating side parts, tribal styles, and dynamic cornrows is what this braided hairstyle is all about.

If you’re going long with your hair, you should consider small two layer braids. Little braids means less hair and less weight, so these will help to distribute the weight on your scalp, creating less tension overall.

5. Feed In Braids

To create two layer feed in braids, start by dividing your hair horizontally. Start cornrowing your hair and feed in extensions close to the roots. When you’re finished, why not add some charms or accessories, too?

6. Half-Up Style

These types of braids don’t necessarily have to move in a horizontal nature. A two layer braided ponytail requires you to braid the lower portion of hair downwards and the ponytail portion of hair upwards for cool contrast.
