Whether it’s your kids first day of school or you have an important interview, sometimes French braids are just the ticket. But, with our curly locks, the simple style can be more of a feat than a time-saver. Well, feel defeated no more!
We’ll take you through the necessary steps to get perfect curly hair French braids, every time!
Preparation is key for any kind of braid and it begins with some TLC.
The more curl you have in your hair, the more moisture it needs. In the case of Type 3 to 4 hair, and those who have Type 2 with dry hair, try a hydrating shampoo and a really good conditioner for better manageability. A French braid will last longer and look better with hydrated strands. If you are doing two braids, part the hair evenly.
Usually, people part down the middle for French braids, but it depends on the desired look. Side parts work well also. Once it’s parted, it’s important to keep the unbraided side of your hair moist and untangled.
