💬 Sienna’s What-to-Ask-Your-Stylist Script: When asking your stylist for a braided hairstyle, be sure to specify the type of braid you're looking for, such as a box braid or Senegalese twist. Also, let them know if you have any hair texture or length concerns.

1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works

In my salon chair, I love working with braids because they’re not only beautiful.

But also a great way to protect the hair from breakage and damage.

One of my favorite braided hairstyles for black women is the Senegalese twist.

Which involves twisting the hair while it’s still damp to create a rope-like texture.

This style works particularly well for women with fine or thin hair, as it adds volume and texture without weighing the hair down.
