Question: Are braids for every hair type?

Fact: Braiding hair has been around for thousands of years, and has been a big part of many cultures worldwide. I can remember sitting on the porch in New York getting ready for the week and my mother would call me and say, Araebia it's time to get your hair braided. Which meant, shampooing my hair, blow drying it, sometimes pressing it and having the coolest braided hairstyles by mom. My hair was quite curly and fine so my mom would give me hairstyles that would last for the week, which normally meant into a ponytail or to the side to give me more style.

Gone are the days of simple, straight braids. Just adding a braid or two to your look can change it in a variety of ways! They can be so versatile. Fishtail braid your hair and pair it with a leather jacket, denim vest and voila, the perfect edgy look. Add the same braid to a white flowy dress and you have a cute, summery, boho look. You can dress up an outfit with a swept-up braided ‘do, or throw it up in a braided bun for a quick and cute on-the-go fix.

The possibilities are endless and experimenting is what can make braiding so fun. Get together with friends sometime and have a “braid party” taking turns doing each other’s hair and trying new braids out! Braiding has been a communal activity for thousands of years, and can be the center of fun times (and great hair!)

I love when my HMUA puts braids in my seniors hair...it takes their look from one extreme to the next. How would you braid your hair? Tag me on Instagram here.
