Tree Braids

Here is another tree braided style. I used 18 inch Milky Way brand hair. I used 2 packs of the hair. I prefer to use 24 inch hair but I can do it with the 18 inch as long as I am doing it with the wet and wavy hair and not straight hair. You can find this hair at your local beauty supply store. You can also check out some of the links on this page and they should direct you to sites where you can purchase hair online! This hair was 39.99 per pack but you may be able to find a better deal online.

Also see that I put individual braids in the back so that my client can put her hair up into a ponytail. After I finish the cornrow for the tree braid I braid it past her hair and seal the end with a knot. It ends up just blending with the individuals that are already in the back!

Tree Braids 18inch

Here is a tree braided style I created using 18 inch hair. Now I know I constantly recommend using 24 inch hair and I am a true believer that it looks best with that length hair, but it is possible to create the look with shorter hair. If you are going to buy shorter hair it is best that it be wet and wavy and not straight hair because there will tend to be short pieces that will poke out and create a less professional look. I used Sensationnel Premium Now 100% human hair hair for this client so if you like this hair make sure you check some of the links the page because I am sure that they will take you to a site that sales Sensationnel Premium Now 100% human hair. If you are looking to achieve this look email me at kristen.braids@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting!

More tree Braids for you! I used Milky Way 100% human hair for this style. In my opinion this is the best wet and wavy hair that I have found that is readily available at your local beauty supply store. So if you are a person who is not particularly found of purchasing hair online then I would recommend getting Milky Way brand hair. Their even their straight hair is pretty good. I am still a fan of hair that I buy online but if that is not an option for you then I say go with the Milky Way hair! The Milky way hair can also be purchased online. If you look at some of the google ads there may be some sites where you can purchase hair. I am pretty sure that you can find Milky Way hair if you click on some of the ads, but can't promise you....

Invisibles/ individual Tree Braids

Visit me at www.kristenlock.com to learn how to get my DVD that will teach you how to do many of the techniques you see here on my blog.

Hello everyone! Here are some more pictures of individual tree braids that I did. It is the same concept of the cornrowed tree braids but rather then pulling hair out of a cornrow, you are pulling it out of an individual braid. When you are finished you are left looking like you have a full weave. This technique of tree braids is also known as invisible braids. No matter what you call them its all the same thing! Well if you are interested in this style please feel free to email me at kristen.braids@gmail.com

Also if you are interested in any purchasing any hair products please check out some of the Google ads on the site. They may be helpful if you are looking for hair to purchase. Check them out!

Tree Braids 6/27

Hello everyone here are a few more pictures of tree braids. I used 2 colors to achieve this color 6 and 27. prefer to use 24 inch hair when I do tree braids because it makes the style more full and it helps to cover the braids better, but the look can be accomplished with shorter hair. I used 18 inch hair with this client. I don't know about you the reader, but I am a huge fan of tree braids because I believe that is is a wonderful style to wear while you are growing out your hair. You are able to easily moisturize your scalp without being impeded by hair tracks that are on a weft. There is no need to use a needle to sew in the hair although you may want to use a needle and thread to sew the end of the braid that ends at the back of the head back onto itself so that it doesn't hang in the back and look funny! But that is really only necessary if the clients real hair is long. Anyway If you are not in the Raleigh NC area I would reccomend that you look for a stylist that has experience wit tree braids and try them out! Lastly make sure that you look at the google ads on the page some may interest you. There are great sites that have information on places to purchase hair to achieve some of these styles, others give advice on what you can do to make your hair grow. Check them out and see if any apply to you. Maybe yes maybe no... Thanks for checking out my blog!
