Gather tools for afro braids, diskettes, and dreads, including combs, hooks, needles, clips, scissors, elastic bands, kanekalon, embroidery thread, spray bottle, practice head, apron, straightener, steamer, and iron.
Explore the two types of kanekalon—low temperature and high temperature—and their uses for braiding sets, box braids, and afro ponytails, with brand recommendations.
Blend Kanekalon to form a thin tip for a dissette, using a 130 cm strand divided into halves and thirds to build a thick base that tapers.
Explore hair structure and types, including straight, wavy, curly, and Afro-textured, and learn care methods, scalp issues, shampoos and conditioners, scalp massage, and when to consult a trichologist for braiding.
Learn how many braids fit in a set and calculate per-braid weight for kanekalon sets, using a 300 g example to produce about 60 braids at 5–8 g each.
Learn to make de braids by braiding a reverse three-strand kanekalon braid, securing with elastic, repeating for two sections, and trimming stray hairs for a neat finish.
Learn to weave lace braids and reverse braids, balance the central strand, and wrap for two-color kanekalon variations to create secure sets, finished with smooth tips.
Steam braids against a vertical surface to smooth loose ends from bottom to top, then carefully steam lace braids near the tip to finish ready for weaving.
Explore two braiding techniques: the half eight braid, where the lower section is braided and covered by the upper edge, and the Scandinavian braid, starting as a half eight.
Attach braiding extensions to the back of the head, section the afro nape into strategic bases, and braid using half, figure eight, or scandinavian techniques for a durable, stylish look.
Master head sectioning to create a voluminous, even braid without bald spots, using 60-base and 52-base schemes with occipital and temporal zones and a front-to-back undercut plan.
Decorate the D set by sewing beads along the first braid, wrapping the second with embroidery threads, and bead-decorating the third to create three unique braids.
Learn how to care for afro braids, including washing with a diluted shampoo, scalp cleansing, natural drying, styling options, swim precautions, and safe unbraiding to restore moisture.
