1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works
One of my favorite clients, Rachel, came to me with a desire for a new protective hairstyle.
She had been experiencing breakage and wanted a style that would help her hair grow.
After discussing her options, we decided on a short feed-in braid style.
I love this look because it not only protects the hair, but it also adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.
When I worked with Rachel, I used a combination of micro-blades and gentle layering to create a style that was both protective and stylish.
I always tell my clients that a good braids style can be a protective and stylish option for black women.
This look is perfect for those with fine to thick hair textures.
