Braids: Classic and Protective
Benefits:
- Low Maintenance: Braids require minimal daily styling, reducing the risk of damage from heat and manipulation.
- Versatility: From box braids to cornrows, the styling possibilities are endless.
- Protection: Braids can protect your natural hair and promote growth by reducing breakage.
Risks:
- Tension: Like sew-in weaves, braiding too tightly can cause traction alopecia and damage the hairline.
- Heavy Extensions: Using extensions that are too heavy can stress the hair follicles and lead to breakage.
Tips for Healthy Use:
- Make sure your braids are not too tight, especially around the edges.
- Keep your scalp clean and moisturized to prevent dryness and flaking.
- Avoid leaving braids in for longer than 6-8 weeks to minimize the risk of matting and breakage.
