10 Chic African American Braids: The Hot New Look!
Natural hair is totally ‘in’ again for black women and that means the return of African–American braids and some fabulously imaginative new styles!
So if you haven’t worn an African-American braids’ before, you must see these gorgeous, 21st century looks!
Variety
African-American braids range from playful, sassy and casual looks to high-fashion and effortlessly elegant hair-designs that can be absolutely breath-taking!
For instance, following the mainstream trend for asymmetrical braids, long hair can be plaited to create one thick, black braid moving diagonally across the top of the head. It’s a really show-stopping updo that also keeps your hair beautifully controlled!
Chic African American Braid
Braid boosters
The plait should be braided loosely to create lots of volume and if your hair isn’t thick enough, it’s easy to use hair-extensions or a silk scarf to give the ‘fat-plait’ volume you need for this fabulous African-American braids look.
Half up half down African American braids
If you like to wear your hair loose, there are lots of styles that mix African-American braids with loose lower lengths, too. Lots of the new braided looks have the front braided in straight, zig-zagged or diagonal braids, with the rest of the hair loose. This creates some fabulous volume from the crown for a very contemporary dual-textured look.
Twists Braid Hair Style
Natural looks are hot
During the hot weather, wear your hair in loose, curly styles with braided details and in cold spells, try the more fully braided African-American braids that protect our hair. Box braids are still trendy and if your hair is transitioning from chemically straightened to natural, a few short, loose braids may be just what you need to liven up your look as your hair grows.
