Braid Texture Matters
Not all textures are created equal, ok? Here at Hairbeenatural, we embrace all textures and offer the full spectrum of braids for every curl type. The goal here is 'no texture left behind', and we've got everyone covered. Take a look at our braid catalogue below. You're sure to find something to meet your protective styling needs that perfectly MATCHES your natural texture!
Lola Braids
Lola Braids are our traditional knotless box braids. They are installed with the yaki braid hair you're probably all too familiar with. These are easy to install, easy to wear, and easy to remove. They help retain length by protecting your ends as your hair grows in uninhibitedly.
