BRAIDS means any type of braided hairstyle, i.e. braided hair. This includes, for example, cornrows, twists, nubian locks, as well as dreadlocks.
Braids are mostly worn as a fashionable hairstyle by both women and men in Europe, Africa and the USA.
The manufacturing methods are sometimes painful for the scalp, this depends on the sensitivity of the scalp and the caution of the braider. For example, headaches can occur for a few days after production, which are caused by strong tensile stress on the scalp. This pain will go away on its own after a week as the scalp adjusts to the stress.
A minimum hair length of five centimeters should be given. The longer the hair on your head, the better the braids hold. A minimum length of four to six inches is more advantageous for thicker braids.
The braiding time depends on the hair length and the number of individual braids and is five to ten hours.
There are different styles, types and variants of braids:
– Casamas Braids: Very thick braids; the term is an onomatopoeic shortening of Casamance Braids, which are named after their origin in Casamance, the southern part of Senegal.
– Micro Braids: Very thin braids.
– Open Braids: These braids are braided slightly beyond your own hair to protect it from matting. The rest of the hair, as the name suggests, is left open. This is suitable for hair lengthening or hair thickening. In this case, artificial hair or real hair is woven in and the roots are hidden. This type of open braids is also called invisible braids.
The braiding technique of the approach is decisive for the durability of the braids. The durability varies from a few days to several months, depending on the skill of the braider.
