16. The Pull-Through Braid
This braid gives huge volume. It’s not a true braid. You use elastics to create sections. Then you pull hair through them. It looks very intricate. I love it for a big, bold look. To maximize fullness, gently tug on each loop. This creates a really full effect. It’s a stunning, voluminous style.
15. The Ladder Braid
The ladder braid has a unique design. It looks like rungs on a ladder. It’s a fun, creative style. It works well on longer hair. I like to wear it on one side. To maintain its structure, use tiny elastics. Secure each “rung” as you go. This keeps the pattern defined. It’s a real head-turner.
14. The Four-Strand Braid
This braid is more intricate. It uses four sections of hair. It creates a wider, fuller braid. It looks impressive and complex. I practice this one often. For consistent tension, hold sections firmly. Keep your fingers organized. This makes the weaving easier. It’s a beautiful, detailed braid.
13. The Five-Strand Braid
The five-strand braid is elaborate. It’s a true showstopper. This braid is perfect for special occasions. It looks incredibly complex. I find it very rewarding to master. To get the pattern right, take your time. Practice the weaving motion slowly. It creates a stunning, intricate design.
12. The Micro Braids
Micro braids are tiny, detailed plaits. They are very fine. They are a popular protective style. They can last for weeks. I love how versatile they are. For care and longevity, moisturize your scalp. Use light oils regularly. Avoid pulling them too tight. They’re great for hair health.
11. The Boxer Braids
Boxer braids are sporty and chic. They are two Dutch braids. They run down each side of your head. They keep hair out of your face. I wear them for workouts. To achieve symmetry, use a mirror. Braid both sides evenly. You can add colorful ribbons too. They are super cool and practical.
10. The Cornrows
Cornrows are a classic style. They are braids woven close to the scalp. They can form many patterns. They have deep cultural significance. I admire their beauty and artistry. For scalp care, keep it moisturized. Use a light spray or oil. You can vary the patterns too. They are truly versatile.
9. The Halo Braid
The halo braid is angelic. It wraps around your head. It looks like a beautiful crown. It’s perfect for elegant events. I feel so regal wearing it. To secure loose ends, use bobby pins. Tuck them underneath the braid. For softness, gently pull out small face-framing pieces.
