Braids – how the techniques work
Braids are a protective style: the hair is braided down and gets a break from daily brushing, heat and styling. Synthetic hair is usually braided in, which lets you choose the length, thickness and colour.
Braids at a glance
- What? – Your own hair is braided, often with synthetic fibre added.
- Who? – All hair types, from Scandinavian to afro hair.
- How long? – From a few weeks up to three months.
- Pros/cons? – Gentle and maintenance-free, but takes time to put in.
The techniques and what sets them apart
Cornrows are braided close to the head – either in many narrow rows or as two, four or six braids. Two braids last about two to four weeks, four or six braids a little longer, three to five weeks, because the weight is spread more evenly. Cornrows suit women, men and children alike.
Box braids hang freely and come in three sizes. Extra small gives the fullest result and the most volume, small gives movement, and large makes a bold statement. The thinner the braids, the longer they take – between three and seven hours – but they also last the longest, up to two to three months.
Crochet braids are ready-made strands that are hooked into existing cornrows with a crochet needle. Because the base is already in place, the installation is much faster than regular braiding, and the result lasts two to three months.
Children's braids are braided looser and more gently on the scalp. Men's braids are usually done as cornrows close to the head, on all of the hair or just parts of it. A braided ponytail combines a braided base with a ponytail.
Are braids right for you?
The technique works on all hair types. What matters is your scalp: if it is sensitive, or you have had hair loss at the temples, the braids should be looser and spaced further apart. A braid should never sting once it is finished – tell us straight away in the chair if it feels tight.
Care
Clean the scalp between the braids with a spray or diluted shampoo instead of washing all of your hair. Lightly moisturise the lengths with a leave-in and sleep in a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase – cotton draws out moisture and causes frizz. If the hair starts to matt at the roots, take the braids out rather than pulling at them. Read all our braid care tips.
