Twenty-four Carat braids<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We\u2019re really loving Mihlali\u2019s gold-braided style which is a combination of both cornrows and box braids.<\/p>\n

This look is perfect for those holiday times, as it requires minimal maintenance and styling. For this look, Darling\u2019s Superstar Expression<\/a> is your go-to hairpiece.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s extra soft and tangle-free, giving you more time to live it up on your vacay.<\/p>\n

\"Mihlali
Best of both worlds.

From basic braids to bold AF<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Once again Lerato is giving us hair envy as she rocks grey and white ombre twist braids. If you have a fearless and confident attitude, this braided hairstyle<\/a> is for you.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t stop at black and white, our One million braids<\/a> offer a wide range of bold colours to mix-n-match. Their lightweight and natural feel, guarantee you the #HotGirlSummer<\/em> you deserve.<\/p>\n

These blue Fulani style braids are a great way to stand out at all the summer music festivals you\u2019ll be attending.<\/p>\n

This look screams IG aesthetics and if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for, pick the Darling Super Soft<\/a> or One million braid<\/a> hairpieces.<\/p>\n

Box braids, an oldy but a goodie<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Kick-off the summer with these Boom Shaka inspired braids. The awesome thing about box braids is that although their not a new style, you can continuously reinvent them.<\/p>\n

Why not upgrade this classic look by adding curly ends for the goddess<\/a> look?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also loving the extra-long braids trend that\u2019s made a comeback right now. With our lightweight Soft braid<\/a> hair, you have zero limits with how long you want to go.<\/p>\n

\"braids

\u201cNo one is you and that\u2019s your superpower\u201d- Author unknown <\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that braided hairstyles are the number one protective style all year round. However, in the high summer temperatures, your hair is prone to more frizz.<\/p>\n

Plus your scalp needs to breathe, which is why these braid styles are your bestie. Keeping your braids and cornrows lightweight, colourful and accessorised gives them the desired #summervibes<\/em> for the gram.<\/p>\n

Remember to have fun with your looks and tell your stylist not to pull on those edges as it may cause hair loss.<\/p>\n
