How To Do Micro Braids Like A Natural Hair Salon Delray Beach Fl Stylist

By Dorothea Garner


Micro braids, or micros, is one of the most sought after styles for people who like to wear braided extensions. Micro braiding is the process of braiding small strands of human hair extensions to the natural hair. The braids are free-flowing and can be styled in a variety of looks. Because of the numerous strands of extensions installed, micro braiding is a very time-consuming process. It is also one of the more expensive services offered by a natural hair salon Delray Beach Fl stylist. To save money, learn the art of micro braiding.

Get together your supplies. In order to complete a head of micros, you need to purchase human hair. Extensions are available in various styles and lengths. Ask a sales associate at a beauty supply store to help you make a selection. A comp and a clip are also needed. Braiding spray and nail glue are optional.

To save time, fix up a work area before starting to braid. Use a flat surface to lay strands of extensions on. Make your area as comfortable as you can as this style takes a long time to do. Have a television or radio nearby to help pass along the time.

Start the initial row of micros. At the nape area, make one horizontal part along the head. Make a vertical part about the width of your finger tip to make a little box. Take an extension strand and braid it into the natural lock. Keep braiding for a minimum of one inch, but less than two inches, below the natural lost. Seal the micro braid with nail glue or a knot. Continue doing this for the whole row.

Make the next row of micro braids. The second row of braids are made practically the same way as the first row. The key difference is to make the vertical parts to form a brick formation. This helps give the head a fuller look.

Continue with micro braiding your locks in a brick-laying pattern. Once you have braided several rows, pull the hair into a small ponytail or clip it out of the way. This prevents the braids from getting tangled up with the natural locks that has not yet been braided.

Take breaks. Doing micros can be a tedious undertaking. If you become restless, feel free to take a break. Braiding while tired often causes people to make larger boxes which in turns leads to an unattractive and uneven style. Further, take breaks to lessen hand cramps. You may schedule two days to finish the style.

Once your entire head has been braided, the hairstyle is complete. Use a braiding sheen or spray to make the braids appear shinier. Place any leftover extension hair in a bag to use later on. Micro braids generally lasts for three months, though you may need to take out and reapply the extensions around the hairline. It is also a good idea to pay a good natural hair salon Delray Beach Fl stylist to wash your micro braids as opposed to you washing them yourself.
