you seem to like. Where the humidity may be high, looser braids are peoples&rsquo; best friends as compared to other dry areas where they can appear to be much tighter.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simple three-strand braid is among the most popular ones in India and can be seen on school girls as well as grown-ups just the same. The ease of it all is what makes it so loved by everyone, and they look quite put together, which makes them suitable for academic dress codes too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next in line is the fishtail braid which looks stunning when done right! There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube and Instagram for you to get this one correctly, and we&rsquo;d be lying if we said that a lot of us didn&rsquo;t know how to do it already. For the ones who don&rsquo;t, it&rsquo;s definitely worth checking out and suits most hair types and are great types of braids for long hair too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_braids_last_the_longest\"><\/span><strong>What braids last the longest?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, the types of braids that tend to be tighter last much longer than their looser counterparts. Case in point, box braids! You can wear them with tiny little hair clips and be rest assured that they won&rsquo;t move out of their assigned place till you&rsquo;re ready to unwind them. If you want them to last even longer, then micro box braids are the answer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These types of hair braids last for as long as three months! Surprised? Well, you shouldn&rsquo;t be. They require very intricate work from an expert hair stylist and take forever to finish. The three-strand braid tends to last much less because the hair in each section is more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_easiest_type_of_braid\"><\/span><strong>What is the easiest type of braid?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\n<figure class=\"image\" style=\"display:inline-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Easiest type of braid - Types of Braids - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/4723\/content_Easiest_type_of_braid_-_Types_of_Braids_-_Bewakoof_Blog.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><figcaption>Source: Instructables<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the three plait braid, the crown braid is quite easy to achieve and is also super versatile. It can be sported to dates, dinners, formal events and even on a daily basis without anyone batting a lid. It can also be done in under 10 minutes, so that&rsquo;s great news for all of us who&rsquo;re feeling lazy, right?

Fishtail braids are great for a lot of occasions including meetings from home, date nights, weddings and parties too. You can even do them on your off-days, even if the agenda is just to relax and kickback. They can prove to be somewhat time-consuming if you&rsquo;re aiming for the more intricately woven versions, but it&rsquo;s all worth it in the end. These types of braids look best when your hair volume is dense, since they are meant to keep tapering as we reach the tips.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A fishtail braid starts at the crown and mostly, goes right till the last 1 inch or so of your hair. For more casual settings, you can choose to weave them loosely but for formal occasions or dressier events, it&rsquo;s best to keep them tight in order to look put-together. A more feminine alternative to the simple three-strand types of braids hairstyles, you&rsquo;re sure to fall in love with the fishtail braid instantly!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Box_Braids\"><\/span><strong>2) Box Braids<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\n<figure class=\"image\" style=\"display:inline-block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Box Braids - Types of Braids - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/4722\/content_Box_Braids_-_Types_of_Braids_-_Bewakoof_Blog.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><figcaption>Source:Roselomon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_How_to_Make_Box_Braid_Learn_Here\"><\/span>&nbsp;How to Make Box Braid: Learn Here<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/spdmhk2najs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Got Afro-textured hair and wondering how to style them AND keep it for days on end?

Fulani types of braids are considered to be the signature hairstyle among Fula women in South Africa. They look absolutely beautiful and are a combination of both medium and thin plaits which are generally made at the side of the head. There is a single braid that sits right at the centre parting and goes all across the crown. Women usually wear rings or beads or shells in the centre braid. Hair cuffs too are an option you would love to explore.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Just like all other hairstyles for girls, braids like these too can be combined with other ones. You can mix them with box braids or stick to cornrows, or you can leave a part of your hair open. Experimenting is key, so just roll with whatever feels right and comes naturally.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Waterfall_Braids\"><\/span><strong>5) Waterfall Braids<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\n<figure class=\"image\" style=\"display:inline-block\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Waterfall Braids - Types of Braids - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/4729\/content_Waterfall_Braids_-_Types_of_Braids_-_Bewakoof_Blog.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><figcaption>Source: Thirty Handmade Days<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_How_to_Make_Waterfall_Braid_Learn_Here\"><\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;How to Make Waterfall Braid: Learn Here<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bjo0ExJVAas\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all want a real-life fairytale right?
