One of the most popular braid extensions in Africa, Abuja braids’ texture match well with that of African hairstyles.<\/p>\n

They are made of kanekalon fibre which can be curled using hot water. Let’s see how we can experiment with these extensions to create 3 hairstyles that are on fleek with Abuja braids.<\/p>\n

1. Space Buns<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Putting on braids<\/a> doesn’t mean you have to let it down always. After braiding on Darling Abuja, you can start the process of bun making.<\/p>\n

Part your braids into two from the centre of your head. Taking one section at a time, make a ponytail at the side of your crown. Spin the ponytail around the elastic band to make a bun. Secure this bun with some bobby pins and repeat the same procedure for the other half.<\/p>\n

Style Tip: You can leave some hair on the front to act as bangs. This would add some fun to the hairstyle.<\/p>\n

2. Simple Extra Long Braids<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Girls who are obsessed with long hair should go for this hairstyle. Simply take Darling Abuja\u00a0and braid<\/a> them onto your natural hair.<\/p>\n

These braids possess a soft and silky texture which can be easily used to achieve cornrows, twists, box braids<\/a> and classic braids hairstyles. Moreover, they are made of lightweight fibre, thus, you won’t feel heavy on your head.<\/p>\n

3. Twisted Pattern Cornrows<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s about the intricate and complex pattern of cornrows on your head. This hairstyle will require a remarkably skilled stylist behind your chair.<\/p>\n

With Darling Expression braids<\/a> you can create elaborate and clean styles. The quality and texture of these kanekalon hair extensions enable you to devise any fancy layout on your crown.<\/p>\n

However, with so much going on at the top, it is better to keep your remaining braids flowing. Yay or nay for this hairstyle?<\/p>\n
