When it comes to curling them, there\u2019s a variety of methods we can use to get the exact type of curly braid styles you can use. These are three easy ways to achieve curly braids that are not just effective, but fast as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NB:<\/strong> Your braids should be synthetic hot water braids to hold up the curls for a longer period of time, like Abuja Braid. You should not use electronic curling tools on your braids.<br \/>\nTools needed: Towel, hot water in container, rods or rollers, and hair ties.<\/p>\n<p>1. Section your hair into several parts, each section for one rod or roller, and secure with hair ties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10771 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/darlingafrica.com\/kenya\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Section your hair into several parts, each section for one rods or roller.\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2.
