Nothing is worse than having to deal with unruly, coiled and frizz-prone hair during the humid Summer months.
Thankfully, there’s an alternative option to playing a losing game with your hair and the heat – braids.
Braids are a protective style that will keep your natural coils and curls in check while you sit back, relax, and enjoy a carefree Summer.
And, you’re sadly mistaken if you ever thought that wearing braids are boring! We’re suggesting five dope ways that you can wear your braids this Summer.
