African braids and their types
Weave African braids - This is an original way to radically change your usual image to a stylish and conceptual one. This hairstyle draws huge attention to itself and is worthy only of a self-confident person (not everyone will be able to withstand that it is constantly considered by strangers).
Afro-braids fit absolutely any style of clothing and appearance. Many people think that such pigtails are harmful to hair and reject this idea. However, this is not entirely true, they do not harm the hair, and they are braided even to small children.
A significant advantage is that with such a hairstyle you do not need to overdry hair every day with a hair dryer and hot tongs, you can not use styling tools. On average, with classical weaving we get about 200 braids, depending on the thickness and quality of your natural hair.
Afro-braids can be decorated with beads and rhinestones, decorated with colored strands, laid in hair. This hairstyle will stick on your hair for up to five to six months, and then you can remove them or make a correction.
Types of afropletiy:
1. Classic Afro-braids. There are two types - with a sealed tip or with a live tip. It takes 3-4 packs of Kanekolon (special fiber) and 6-10 hours of work to weave this type of braids, depending on the professionalism of the brader, whom you trust to create afroprichesko. At the end of the procedure, the hair is boiled over to fix the material and shape.
2. French braids weave both from natural hair, and with the addition of synthetic fiber. Combining artificial material with native hair is practical, such a hairstyle will last at least a month, while braids only from their hair will last a couple of weeks. This hairstyle will appeal to active lovers of sports and recreation. The advantage of such braids is that they fit snugly to the head and the hair does not experience such strong tension as with classic braids. Also, these braids can be weaved with a pattern, it can be curls, zagzagi, etc.
3. Corrugation. The master will make such a haircut in just a couple of hours, this is a quick weaving. Spun kanekalon is attached to natural hair with the help of a pigtail. It looks very unusual and fresh. It will especially appeal to those with short hair, which after weaving will become lower than the shoulder blades. These braids are worn for 2-3 months.
4. Dreadlocks. Dreadlocks are divided into natural and safe. Natural dreadlocks are woven of their own hair, so their length should be at least 20 cm, because in the process of weaving, it will be reduced. Ordinary dreadlocks can not be unstuck, they can only be removed with scissors. But if you still want to try dreadlocks, but do not want to risk a haircut, there are safe dreadlocks. They do not harm the hair.
In order to make safe dreadlocks 5 cm of your hair is enough. Already prepared artificial dreadlocks are woven into your hair. Since Kanekolon is a light material, your hair does not have a strong load. Wear safe dreadlocks for 2-3 months.
5. Harnesses. The hairstyle has the form of a tight twisted braid, is woven using a special Kanekolon (from which dreadlocks are woven) and special threads. The harnesses can be both thick and thin, of various colors and patterns.
6. Senegalese braids - weave on the same principle as the harnesses. A distinctive feature of this weave is that only 2 strands are used in the work, which are twisted into a spiral. Thickness, length and number of braids - at will. True, it is more labor-intensive work than the classic Afro-braids, so they will trudge even longer. Be patient!
7. Pony Tile. With this form of afropleteniya use a special material - pony. It looks like a cancolon, but at the end has a curl. The tip remains ten to fifteen centimeters long, and everything else - as in classic weaving. The minimum length of braids is up to the shoulders.
8. Curls curls. A special curly fiber is woven into the hair, which is very similar to natural hair and has a soft curl. They are beautiful, but rather difficult to care for, they require frequent brushing and attention so that the hair does not become tangled. This hairstyle is a great alternative to hair extensions!
