Hair Braiding Styles And African Hair Braiding Styles

By Darren Hartley


The traditional hair braiding styles involve detangling the hair with a brush or wide-toothed comb. A hair that is knot free is braided a lot faster. The comb that should be used is one that pulls easily through the length of the hair.

There is an optional step in hair braiding styles to make the braiding easier to handle. This step involves the creation of a secure base by tying the hair into a ponytail or half ponytail with a hair tie. The assurance of a neater braiding is an additional aftermath of using this technique. A woman who has gotten the hang of the technique can then start braiding loose hair at the nape of the neck.

The division of the hair into three even sections is the next step in hair braiding styles. Because these sections will become the three strands of the braid, they must be made as even as possible. The left section is then crossed over the middle section. If the strands started out as A B C, they should now end up as B A C.

African hair braiding styles dictate that the right section is crossed over the middle section. The strands are now ordered B C A from being ordered B A C from the previous step. The braiding continues with the grabbing of the back section of the hair from one hand using the free index finger and thumb of the other hand.

Securing the braid is a matter of using a non-rubber elastic to tie off the end of the braid. The completion of these African hair braiding styles may sometimes involve wrapping the elastic around the hair several times. As an optional step, to avoid hair flying away from the braid as the day goes on, the braid may be set with the aid of a hairspray.
