5. Radiant Radial Goddess Braids
This style is defined by its stunning, circular pattern. Braids radiate outward from the center of the crown, much like the spokes of a wheel. This is an intricate and highly artistic style that showcases the beauty of your natural hair pattern. It is perfect for those who want a protective style that is essentially a work of art. The radial pattern is very flattering and helps to distribute the weight of the hair evenly across the scalp, making it a very comfortable option for long-term wear.
How to Make
Find the center point at the crown of your head and create a circular part. Start your braids at this center point and work your way outward toward the hairline. The braids should be of uniform size to maintain the radial aesthetic. Once you reach the perimeter, let the ends hang down freely, or braid them down to the very end for a more finished look. Use a soft-bristled brush to keep the roots smooth as you braid. This style takes a bit of time, so ensure you have a comfortable seat!
