Maintaining Curly Braids
Achieving and keeping those beautiful curls on your braids involves a specific approach to styling and care. Here's a breakdown of how to maintain those curls based on a video tutorial:
The Curling Technique
- Coil the Ends: After braiding, focus on the ends of the braids. Gently wrap or coil the hair into a curl.
- Crunch the Coil: After coiling, gently crunch the curl to define it and prevent it from loosening. This motion helps to set the shape.
- Air Dry: Allow the coiled braid ends to air dry completely. Avoid using heat which can damage the curls and cause frizz.
Results
- Smoothness: Properly coiled curls dry smoothly without tangling.
- Bouncy Curls: The resulting curls should be lovely and bouncy, giving your braids a stylish and voluminous look.
