1. Bob length twist
If you're big on short hair and try to stay away from braids, this is a perfect look to go for.
The neat and flat roots and the beautiful shoulder-length twists are easy to rock and wouldn't get in your way much.
2. High ponytail braids
This look is the perfect choice to opt for if you're looking for a style that'd bring out your face.
This weaving style will have you looking sophisticated and looks better when made in a long length. Make sure your makeup game is top-notch too!
4. Ghana weaving
This beautiful side-part weaving style is another look to consider if you want your facial features to stand out.
Unlike the previous one, this isn't as tiny in size and rather infuses some wavy hair at the back to give it a luscious look.
5. Fulani braids
This ever-green style is the one for bougie babes who don't like to try too hard.
The single cornrow braided forward or both sides of the face flatters one's look in a chic yet tribal way.
6. Cornrows for blondie
If you have your hair coloured then opting for something in the same shade as your hair is a great idea.
This blond all-back cornrow is chic, classy and perfect for the daring babe!
7. Knotless braids
This is all the rave right now and it is not hard to see why!
The knotless braid leaves a clean look and if you use the curly hair attachment, it will give you a fabulous look.
8. Fringed braids
If you're big on making fashion statements with your hairstyles then this is the one for you.
This beaded fringed braided look is for the unapologetic Afrocentric baddie!
9. Boxed braid
The beautiful thing about boxed braids is that they have a long-staying power.
These wine-coloured braids are gorgeous and perfect for the theme of the season!
10. Basket braids
This is a powerful way to make a statement.
The puffy ends, the circular style and the neat cornrows all come together to make the perfect crown for your head.
11. Faux dreadlocks
If you love goddess looks then go for these waist-length dreadlocks.
This is an attention-commanding hairstyle that will definitely have bae - and everybody else admiring you.
