+100 to charisma: men”s braids are the trend of the season. Every season!

This season, men’s braids are making a big impression and bringing some flair and individuality to any ensemble. What used to be primarily a female hairstyle is now a popular option for men who wish to stand out.

For every taste and type of hair, there are options ranging from elaborate designs to straightforward, tidy braids. Braids are a great way to add flair to your appearance and boost your confidence, whether you’re going for a more edgy or sleek look.

Braids have uses beyond fashion; they are functional. They add an unavoidable creative flair, keep longer hair in place, and aid in managing it. Men’s braids are undoubtedly the way to go this season if you want to up your style game and stay on trend.

Braids on men are becoming very popular again, giving any outfit a daring and fashionable edge. This trend is all about boosting confidence and personality, whether it’s through contemporary braided designs, Viking-inspired hairstyles, or intricate cornrows. Men’s braids are the ideal way to elevate your charisma and stay in style every season because there are countless ways to customize and express your personal style.

Features of men"s braids

At first glance, it appears that women are the only ones with long hair. Even a cursory glance at history will bring to mind the Vikings, Louis XIV’s opulent court, and even our national hero, Pushkin’s hero Vladimir Lensky, who was known for having "captivating speech and black curls to the shoulders."

Braids are a very manly hairstyle that were once considered a status symbol and a mark of bravery. Therefore, it is worthwhile to examine this fashion trend more closely. Braids can also be worn on medium-length hairstyles that just barely reach the shoulders, in addition to long hair.

That’s correct, a man must at least let his hair grow a little before he can braid it. Women are better off in this sense because the process moves more quickly for them due to hormonal factors. Men must settle for 7-8 mm of growth per month.

• A guy with a pigtail (or a lot of thin Afrocos) will always stand out in the crowd and look original.

• With the help of men"s braids, you can visually correct some facial features. For example, a braided hairstyle will look very advantageous if you have large facial features or a not particularly high forehead.

• Hairstyles with braids go well with other brutal elements of appearance, for example, with a beard.

• You can save on a barbershop. A whole range of men"s braids (African, dreadlocks, braids …) refers to long-term styling, they are worn for months.

But despite everything, it’s important to keep the following in mind:

• Long hair and braids from long hair require care, the hairstyle must be kept neat, and this requires some effort;

• if you wear a strict office dress code, such a braided hairstyle may look inappropriate;

• as we noted above, even for short men"s braids you will need to grow your hair for at least several months, if Kanekalon is not used in the braiding.

The benefits of hiring a braider—what industry insiders refer to as the masters of braiding dreadlocks, pigtails, and braids—outweigh the drawbacks.

Who will suit men"s braids

Guys’ braids are a very versatile hairstyle since they can be worn in a variety of ways and with a wide range of thicknesses and braiding techniques. They can be used to create images with different moods and to visually correct the oval of the face, if desired. Men’s braids will therefore look good on practically everyone. There is one exception, though!

Braided hairstyles should be avoided if you have an asthenic body type and an elongated, thin face because they will visually lengthen the face even more. Alternately, try wearing Afro-braids or dreadlocks pulled back into a bun more frequently; this style eliminates extra vertical lines.

It is safe for other members of the stronger sex to experiment with braids and select the style that best highlights their uniqueness, irrespective of their age or hair type.

Expert advice from SalonSecret. The majority of men’s braiding styles are exclusive to salons. However, there are also some that are quite easy; with a little practice, you can learn how to braid them yourself expertly.

It is sufficient to apply a small amount of clay Matrix Matte Definer or paste L’Oréal Professionnel Homme Mat to your palms before beginning to braid in order to get the strands to behave properly. The hair has a matte finish after using both products.

Types of men"s braids

Men can wear cornrows, textured bundles, dreadlocks, French braids, and more. We cordially invite you to study the newest styles of weaving.

French

French men wear fewer braids than women do; one is never enough, and women typically wear fewer, more elaborate braids. The traditional method of braiding near the head looks like a "spikelet," but in this instance, the side strands are brought over the center strand. As a result, the braid appears denser visually and has more volume.

Viking braids

Men with long hair will look good in a casual hairstyle (shoulder-length hair is ideal). It suggests ruthless carelessness combined with braiding elements, usually in the temporal domain. After that, the hair can occasionally be left loose and gathered in a bun or ponytail with a braid (or braids). Pigtails are typically slender. It is acceptable to weave beads, a reference to the well-known pirates from film.

A braid-tourniquet for men

Two twisted strands are used to weave a braid. Hair that is medium to long fits well with this style. It takes some skill, despite the ease of execution and the intentional casualness of the finished product; to give the bundles more texture, you must artistically pull the strands out of them.

Expert advice from SalonSecret. Before you begin braiding, try using a styling spray (such as Biolage’s VolumeBloom) on damp hair.

Then use a hair dryer to dry it. The foundation for a voluminous hairstyle—which is always helpful when dealing with bundles—is created by styling.

Men"s braids in an African style

An intriguing illustration of salon styling over time. African-style men’s braids are done by braiders; your barbershop undoubtedly employs a master with golden hands. They keep the hairstyle for a long time, and as the hair grows, a salon correction is required every few months. African braids can be styled for medium- and long-hair lengths. You will need kanekalon natural or bright shades, depending on the barbershop client’s preference, to create them on a short haircut.

Expert advice from SalonSecret. The hair should only be washed once a week after braiding. Shampoo should be diluted with water in your palm, distributed along the partings to create a lather, gently massaged, and rinsed. We advise selecting a cleanser based on the barber’s recommendations, taking the skin type into consideration.

The shampoo L’Oréal Professionnel Sensi Balance, for oily skin – Biolage CleanReset, is meant for dry and sensitive skin.

Braids (boxer braids)

A style of men’s African braids that resemble four to ten thin French braids and are braided near the scalp. Additionally completed in a salon by a master; as hair grows, correction is needed.

Expert advice from SalonSecret. Dandruff may become an issue because of the unintentional drawing of attention to the scalp caused by this hairstyle.

Look for products containing zinc pyrithione, such as Biolage’s ScalpSync, which relieves irritated scalp and successfully eliminates dandruff’s outward signs.

Men"s cornrow braids

An enjoyable braiding style that is quite similar to braids is one in which the hair is arranged in uniform rows throughout the head. The distinction is that, since cornrow braids derive their name from corn cobs, they ought to be large. Another characteristic of cornrows is that the area in between the braids is occasionally shaved.

Senegalese men"s braids

Modern hippies respect ethnicity. This kind of men’s braids is unique in that it is made from two strands that have been twisted into bundles. Kanekalon, a lightweight synthetic material that mimics the texture of natural hair, is the foundation of the twist. Braids from Senegal can be done on hair that is 7 to 10 cm long.

Expert advice from SalonSecret. For afro braids, washing your hair after braiding is customary; once done, the hairstyle will steadily hold its shape for one to two months. You can apply thermal water spray for comfort on perspiring skin after working out.

Use dry shampoo Matrix High Amplify to absorb extra sebum if you start to feel oily before your "bath day."

Dreadlocks

Since dreadlocks are actually tangled hair that is impossible to "untangle," they are technically not braids. It is interesting to note that men prefer this hairstyle over women’s. Maybe this is because attractive women want to switch up their appearance more frequently.

Dreadlocks come in two primary varieties: those that are felted from their own hair (which is deemed dangerous by the authorities) and those that are felted with the addition of artificial material (which is deemed a safe method). At times, the entire head’s hair is styled, and at other times, the back of the head and the temples are completely shaved to create an ostentatious undercut. Dreadlocks no longer than 15 cm are ideal in the latter scenario.

Expert advice from SalonSecret. It’s possible to forget about the needs of your scalp when wearing dreadlocks for a month or longer, but you still need to clean it carefully on a regular basis. It is not surprising if the braider advises using a sponge instead of your hands to apply shampoo.

We suggest L’Oréal Professionnel Pure Resource, a professional shampoo that deeply cleanses, balances the hydrolipids in the epidermis, and softens hard tap water, in addition to the cleansers that have already been mentioned.

Options for hairstyles with braids for men

Let’s examine more closely at which men’s braids, based on hair type and length, work best for each other.

On short hair

As you are already aware, a skilled braider can pull off men’s braids on short hair with ease. Remember that short is defined as having a length of at least 7 to 10 cm. Alternatively, a little shorter if we’re discussing dreadlocks or Afro braids made with Kanekalon.

Men with short hair frequently go for classic undercut hairstyles, where a single braid extends from the forehead to the back of the head, or multiple braids are used to capture the parietal, temporal, and occipital zones.

On medium hair

The selection of hairstyles featuring men’s braids is significantly greater for people with medium-length hair, or roughly shoulder-length. African braids of all kinds, boxer braids, casual tourniquets, and traditional French braids are your options. Additionally, people with medium-length hair can wear hairstyles that feature Viking braids.

On long hair

Most of the time, when we discuss men’s long hair braids, we’re talking about long-lasting styles like African braids, dreadlocks, cornrows, etc. Long-term styling helps to alleviate the attention and effort that come with maintaining an elongated haircut.

On curly hair

Some people find it difficult to deal with the unpredictable nature of wavering hair and may even wish to chop their hair very short to avoid dealing with unmanageable curls. Take your time and consider cornrows, dreadlocks, Senegalese braids, and braids. A stylist will control your unmanageable hair and restore a carefree attitude to your daily grooming routines. Are you having trouble combing through your curls? Should I cover the styling with a liter of hairspray? No, I’ve never heard of it!

On straight hair

However, those with straight hair are fortunate in that they can create any type of braided men’s hairstyle at home or in a salon. Dreadlocks or simple boxer braids can work well in a workplace where clothes are casual and jeans and sweatshirts are staples.

Ideas for haircuts with braids for boys

Sons, nephews, and grandsons desire fashionable looks as well. Which styling model should I pick?

Brads with elastic bands

This is a creative braided haircut idea for boys that substitutes thin silicone elastic bands for braiding. Medium-length hair works well for this style, which you can wear for a few days until you get tired of it.

Hairstyle with African braids for a boy

A novel approach to boxer braiding: starting from the middle parting. Additionally, medium-length hair is ideal, and contrasting colors—white for black strands, brown for light ones—will enhance the styling’s charisma.

Dragon braid for a boy

All young fans of Viking cartoons will like the original hairstyle. The "dragon" braid in the center is prominent and fairly wide. The hair on the sides of the head is braided as well and doesn’t cause any obstructions.

Braids for a boy

Traditional braiding, useful and comfortable in daily life, packed with extracurricular activities, sports teams, and a few wild, boyish games. It makes sense that a lot of football players select these kinds of braided men’s hairstyles.
