Procedure To Make Triangle Braid
Follow these simple steps to make Triangle braid:
Start from the back of the head. Separate the hair from ear to ear. With the help of a parting comb, part the hair smoothly. (Use the teeth of the comb, it works better.) Make a first triangular section by parting it a little to the right of center down diagonally to the corner of the hair. Twist it to keep it out of the way. Make another diagonal part in the opposite direction. Twist it again to keep it out of the way. For the last sections, go from the end of the previous triangle to the upper corner at the end of this section. Then twist both the third and fourth sections. Go back to the first triangle, apply edge control in the adequate amount to smoothen it and tie it with a rubber band. Repeat it on the other three triangular sections. Create another horizontal section above the section you just braided with the same width as the previous one. To make a star pattern, match the points of each triangle. Repeat the same steps done for making the braids in the first partition. Part another semi-circle, starting at mid-brow. Following that part, braid a micro-cornrow from each side, and meet them in the middle. Braid the rest of your triangular parts. Braid extensions into the triangular sections. Once all the triangular sections of your hair are braided, drench the ends of the braids into hot water to fix them and to make the braids more flexible.Its time to change your hairstyle. Try triangle braids and give yourself a unique and gorgeous transition.
How Long Should You Keep These Braids?
To begin with, it depends on various factors, including how well you take care of your hair. If you are consistent with applying nourishing hair creams, then you can leave them for a bit longer than others. Generally, people with intricate braid styles follow the two-month rule where they don’t leave-in braids any longer than this. Even if you try to maintain this style with frequent touch-ups and suitable products, these braids will not survive more than two months.
Most importantly, people get braids as a protective measure that should not last for a long period because your hair will eventually grow and break due to the damage caused.
If you want to wash your braids, then always start with preparing them with some good hydrating and deep conditioning products that will add moisture to your hair. Use a clarifying cleanser from scalp to ends in a vertical motion to avoid frizziness and dryness. Moreover, DO NOT harshly rub them together as it completely ruins your gorgeous braids. After washing, let your hair naturally dry instead of hair dryers to avoid as much heat as possible. Once your braids are air-dried around 70-80%, use a hooded dryer to prevent mildew or dandruff.
