Box Braids

Coming in at number one are box braids. Box braids are iconic for many reasons, and winter styling is at the top of the list. The cold, winter months can be brutal and box braids can significantly preserve the integrity and texture of the hair during this time. There are various styles and hair textures to use in creating this iconic use, and whatever style you opt for, you will be in safe hands.

Faux Locs

Butterfly Locs

If you want to get into a “loc” hairstyle without the stress of a long-term commitment, then this hairstyle is perfect for you. Goddess locs themselves are unique and stand out from the pack compared to other traditional loc extensions because of their curled ends. The hairstyle was inspired by the iconic Lisa Bonet and continues to be a style staple.

Crochet Do

Crochet hair is created when hair extensions are crocheted into natural hair to create various styles. This protective hairstyle is one of the most effective for the cold months and can be created without putting the natural hair through extra wear and tear.

Who knew that a three-string hair could be the ultimate hairstyle for anyone with a  tender scalp? If you want a unique style, with an edgy twist, the three-strand braid is your best option.

 

Scarf
