In the simplest form of three-strand braid, all the hair is initially divided into three sections, which are then simultaneously gathered together near the scalp. In contrast, a French braid starts with three small sections of hair near the crown of the head, which are then braided together toward the nape of the neck, gradually adding more hair to each section as it crosses in from the side into the center of the braid structure. The final result incorporates all of the hair into a smoothly woven pattern over the scalp.

A headband braid is a type of braid hairstyle that is usually French plaited and sits where a headband hair accessory would, hence its name.

Knotless Braids

Knotless braids are a traditional three-strand braid with a beneficial twist. Like box braids, your hair is divided into square parts (or sometimes triangle-shaped divisions). However, knotless braids do not include the small knot that starts at the root of traditional box braids. Traditionally, this knot is used to attach braiding hair. With knotless braids, the hairstyle is created with a feed-in braid technique instead. This involves adding small amounts of braiding hair to your natural hair as you go, making for a braid that sports a flatter appearance.

Micro braids are the kind of braiding style that is more delicate and smaller. The braids are woven tightly to the scalp, and the great thing about the style is that they can stay in your hair for months.

Instead of a regular braid which uses 3 sections of hair, a twist braid uses 2 sections of hair.

Twist hairstyles come in all lengths and sizes, can be worn down or as an up-do, and (best of all) they’re easy to do!

These raised braids are formed using the underhand technique. Because they’re braided so close to the scalp, your skin is often exposed. Considered a protective style, you can leave cornrows in for weeks at a time if you care for them properly and keep your scalp moisturised. It may take lesser time to plait cornrows than microbraids
