Tree braids were initially worn by Afro-Americans. This is a hot trendy hairstyle in 2021 due to its simple installation yet beautiful results. This stunning hairstyle is suited for any occasion. Tree braids are preferred by many women these days as it is one of the best ways for the natural extension of hair.
Tree braids do not require heat or spray to settle the extension in hair. Since the extension is braided from the tip of the hair, it settles with the original hair with less or no difference between them. For this reason, tree braids are also called ‘invisible braids.’ Tree braids are the natural method of extending the hair since it does not require glue or a needle. However, tight braiding can result in hair damage and loss. This hairstyle can last for 2 to 3 months, depending on a person’s care and hair type.
