Braiding Hair

Braid Rings Piercings are no longer just for your skin! We are considering rings and other jewelry incorporated into French braids and cornrows. Just make sure you remove any hair jewelry before bed to avoid the rings from causing damage to your hair in your sleep. French Braid + Tuck An oldie but a goodie! We love this French braid style for short hair. All you require are a few bobby pins.

It should be about the width of your face and about two inches back. Use a couple of bobby pins to save this section to the top of your head. Take two small pieces of hair from on either side of your face, just below the pinned section, and pull that back to behind the pinned section. Part into three sections and braid once.

The braid itself is a strong hair practice, but the ribbon wrapped around it while they slept was like double armor for hair, making sure it was fully protected once it hit that pillow. I would always be in such awe of their strong, thick, long hair. And how much time and like they put into taking care of it. But the best part was sharing this ritual with my aunties - slowing down each night and taking care of every other created a special bond. Braiding your hair is a necessary and healthy practice. Prevents breakage As you’re getting your beauty sleep, you may not recognize it but natural tossing and turning pulls your hair and causes it to break. Keeping your hair in braids reduces friction between your hair and pillow, reducing hair breakage. Amp it up, and get silk pillowcases for still less friction! It also keeps your hair tamed and more structured, resulting in fewer snarls and frustrating tangles when you wake up in the morning. Related Blog: https://virginhairextensionsandwi...
