What are kinky braids?
Kinky braids use braiding hair with a coily texture, which blends with natural textured hair and gives a fuller, more natural look than smooth hair. The braid itself can be done in the size and length you choose.
Choosing your look
Tell us the length, the braid size and how full you want the style. Send a reference photo so we can match the texture, since kinky hair comes in several looks from tight coils to looser waves.
How to care for kinky braids
Sleep in a satin bonnet, keep the scalp clean and moisturised, and rinse shampoo out well. Textured hair can hold moisture, so dry the braids fully after washing to avoid a damp smell.
What kinky braiding hair looks like
Kinky braiding hair has a coily, crimped texture that resembles natural coily hair. It looks fuller and less sleek than smooth braiding hair, and it blends in easily at the root and the new growth. If you want a style that looks closer to your own texture, kinky hair is a good option to ask about.
Choosing size and length
Kinky braids can be made small, medium or large. Smaller braids give a neat, detailed look and take longer to install, while larger braids are quicker and bolder. Length affects the weight and the time, so tell us whether you want shoulder, mid-back or waist-length braids. Send a reference photo so we can match the proportions.
Blending with your natural hair
Because kinky hair is close to natural texture, many people like how it blends at the root. Tell us the colour you want and how your own hair looks when it is dry, and we will advise on the best match. We confirm in your quote whether hair is included.
Styling kinky braids
Wear the braids down, in a ponytail, in a bun or half up. A headband or scarf works well and keeps the look polished. Keep styles loose rather than tight, so the roots and edges are not under constant pull.
Comfort and your scalp
Mild tightness on the first day can be normal, but sharp pain is not. Tell us straight away if a section is too tight and we will adjust it. If you have a sensitive scalp or thin edges, mention it when you book. If you have lasting pain, bumps or swelling afterwards, take the braids down and speak to a doctor.
Looking after kinky braids
Textured hair tends to hold moisture, so dry the braids fully after washing to avoid a damp smell. Wash the scalp gently with diluted shampoo, rinse well and use light moisture. Wrap the braids in a satin scarf at night to reduce frizz, and avoid heavy products that build up at the roots.
Taking kinky braids down
Plan the take-down before new growth tangles. Remove the braids gently from the ends and detangle with conditioner. Message us if you would like a take-down and a new set.
Is kinky hair right for you?
If you want a smoother, sleeker finish, compare knotless braids. If you want a softer, curlier look, see boho braids. Send us a photo of the texture you like and we will help you choose.
Booking kinky braids
Message us on WhatsApp, LINE or email with your reference photos, your hair length, the braid size and colour you want, and your location. We reply with availability and a quote that includes any travel fee for a home or office visit. Braiding is a long appointment, so allow a full day slot and arrive with your hair washed, detangled and fully dry unless we tell you otherwise.
