BRAIDS
A braid is a popular hairstyle formed by weaving together two or more sections of hair. Braids have been around for thousands of years and in various cultures throughout the world
Today, braiding is not anymore only an at-home haircut for women or men, it is almost a social activity that inspires bonding between the person braiding the hair and the person whose hair is being braided. Braids are often used on hair with a curly or kinky texture as a form of protective styling and not just for fashion. Braiding protects natural hair from heat and humidity. Maintaining your braids can help them last longer.
The many varieties of braids
French braids: Braids that begin with three small sections of hair near the crown of the head and end near the nape of the neck, while gradually incorporating more and more hair into each section.
Dutch braids: Similar to French braids, but sections are crossed under each other instead of over.
Fishtail braids: Braids using two sections of hair that are woven together to form an intricate appearance that resembles a fish skeleton.
Cornrows: Braids that run along the scalp to form a continuous, raised row, often running in straight lines but can also be formed into geometric patterns.
Box braids: Braids consisting of square-shaped divisions of hair on the scalp from which point the hair is braided.
Dreadlocks: Although not braids in the traditional sense since the hair is not woven but matted, dreadlocks nevertheless resemble braids in the sense that they form the hair into rope-like structures.
Twists: Also not braids in the classical sense, twists are achieved by dividing the hair into sections and twisting them together. They can be formed using two or more sections.
