Braiding a Rasta hairstyle - step-by-step instructions
Braiding takes persistence and time as it takes several hours. You can't braid rasta braids on your own, especially if you want the whole head to have this braided hairstyle. Therefore, it is worth talking to your best friend or someone who has experience with the Rasta hairstyle.
- First you need to bring a structure upside down. To do this, divide the hair into small sections. You can fix these parts with braid elastic or clips so that they don't get mixed up.
- Then you can start with the first braid. You take a thin strand of hair and divide it into three strands. Then alternately place the two outer strands over the middle strand. You have to act properly!
- In addition, you should always tighten the individual strands so that the braid does not become too loose. However, it is also important to make sure that you do not pull the braid too tight so that the scalp is not stressed.
- As soon as you have laid the strands on top of each other a few times, the synthetic hair is braided in. This procedure takes a bit of practice. Only take a really thin strand of synthetic hair for each human hair braid, otherwise the braid will be too heavy.
- Simply place the strand of synthetic hair next to a strand of real hair and continue braiding as normal. If you can see a transition between the two strands, you need to undo the braid and try again.
- When you've gotten a little practice, you can weave small pearls into the braid.
- Each braided braid is held in place with a thin elastic. These special rubbers are also available in afro shops.
- Once you're done with one braid, it's up to the next to all hair processed.
- What the care As far as Rasta braids are concerned, it is enough to wash them once a week. The best way to do this is to use a mild shampoo, which you massage into your hair as usual and then wash out. The braids are then air-dried.
