Best thing about braided hair is it stays till the end of the day, no need to re-arrange it.

Learning to braid your hair can be pretty strenuous. But that’s only in the beginning. Experienced hair braiders can do multiple, intricate plaits effortlessly. I recently found this interesting video on my laptop connected to Xfinity that teaches the different styles of hair braiding. Now I wear my hair in braids to school every day. Here are some of the styles that I picked up.
Straight braids: The simplest braid style worn, with one or two plaits and can be coiled or twisted to appear more beautiful. It’s made from three equal strands or locks of hair.

Corn rows: A series of geometric rows of plaits situated tightly on the head, or more complicated and intricate plaited designs, that can be left for a long time. This depicts African culture.

Cane rows: A neater less complicated version of corn rows, with less number of plaits. They are now known as micro braids and are becoming immensely popular in the hip-hop culture.

French braids: A French braid follows a simple three strand technique except that it begins with a small section of hair up on the head and includes all the left out hairs while progressing down. When you French plait, your hair will never disobey.

Dutch braids: Dutch braids are similar to French braids. They follow the same technique as French braids, the only difference being that while the French start at the top and proceed to the centre, the Dutch start from the centre and head down. This plait is to be worn on top of the hair.

Combo braid: When two braids are joined and braided together, the style is called a combo braid. When two braided strands are pinned together, the resulting style is called a rose stem if one end is pinned and a classic if both ends are pinned.

The above styles use mainly three strands of hair, they are easy to use and can be practiced individually. There are other braids that use double strands or multiple strands that require a lot of practice, but when mastered, produce stunning results. Whoever you go out with a nicely braided hair for some short or long vacations, please remember to give proper protection to your house.
