French Braid Fringe

Image
What is a French Braid Fringe? We wear this style a lot during harmattan especially to protect the hair from dust, from drying out and from damage from lack of moisture.  Though this hair style involves braiding, your hair dresser can easily install it for you in a matter of minutes. The fun part of this style is you can keep it for a whole week before redoing your hair.  Check out this style by Shirleybeniang  and be sure to try on your hands on it! Emprezz

How To Do Braid Outs

Image
If you've been wearing two strand twists, look beyond that and consider braid outs!!!. Braid outs can equally be classified as protective styles because you don't manipulate your hair for days- you can switch up the styles too in a matter of minutes. The key thing about braid outs is allowing the hair to dry properly before unravelling the braid. Braid outs aren't worn by only natural hair ladies; relaxed hair ladies can also wear braid outs.    br0nzeqt  and  fgrogan create a braid out style that you can try on any hair type.
