I propose ten examples of hairstyles with braids that you will like, and that with a minimum of patience you can wear an ordinary day.

2.  Clean hair. The accumulated grease or dirt hinders the elaboration of the hairstyle in addition to subtracting good presence. Always use the shampoo and conditioning creams that are ideal for your hair type. Applying any, randomly, is a big mistake.
3.  Untangled hair. You must comb your hair and brush your hair well, so that there are no knots. It is the only way to slide your fingers while weaving and that the braid is at the end smooth and shiny, without lumps or hair coming out.
4.  Straight hair is ideal, but if yours is curly do not be discouraged, the effect of a vigorous brushing will leave it suitable for these hairstyles.

A few additional tips

Prepare your room, dressing room, or chest of drawers, with the necessary conditions to make these hairstyles with agility. It is good that you have two fixed mirrors, not handheld, so that you can see yourself from the front and at the same time watch the progress of the hairstyle from behind, without using your hands, because they will be busy weaving braids.

Make yourself enough wide and thick elastic bands and tweezers. A fine-end comb is also very useful, ideal for dividing hair into strands with the thickness you want and that you are the same.

Make a good reserve of decorated tweezers, as well as a variety of hair ornaments, so you can vary the decoration of your hairstyles with braids. Keep in mind that even when you repeat the hairstyle, the decoration can be the factor that makes the difference and in the end you will still get a novel image.

When you weave your braids be careful not to tighten them too tightly in the desire to give more solidity to the hairstyle.
