8. Goddess Braids with Curly Tendrils

This is the quintessential “boho” goddess style. The base consists of neat, medium-sized braids that transition into loose, flowing curls. You can decide how much curly hair to incorporate—either at the ends of the braids or by having individual curly strands throughout the length of the braid. This style is incredibly feminine and soft, giving you the benefit of a protective style with the look of a full-head curly weave. It is ideal for those who want a romantic, soft-focus look that feels very light and breezy.

How to Make

Begin by braiding your hair, but use a technique where you incorporate the curly braiding hair into the braid itself at regular intervals. When you get to the end of the braid, leave about two to three inches of the curly hair loose. To achieve that “goddess” look, take individual pieces of the curly hair and weave them through the braid intermittently, letting them hang down. Use a small amount of curling cream on the curly extensions to prevent them from tangling and to maintain that soft, romantic texture.
