1. Box Braid

A classy box braid is the go-to look any day, any time. But the short length adds a different vibe to the look, and the beads elevate it. While you can slay this with your natural hair alone, you can also add braiding hair extensions to make it last longer.

Start by dividing your hair into squares, then use your hair extensions to braid to your jaw if needed. You can leave it at that or go for something lengthier. Whatever you choose.

If you have short type 4c hair, try to blow dry, and stretched your hair, fulling moistured the hair before braiding, which will help you to get a smooth braiding.

Slick Back

Slick back a hairstyle that broke the internet with its classiness and stylish side. The best part is it's easy to achieve with a few steps.

So, like Yara’s, create a side part (if you want), then spritz a brush with holding spray. Use it to sleek your hair to the back as you form a low ponytail. Once they are slicked, tie your hair with a hair elastic and add your ponytail extension, or warp your hair to a low bun like Yara.

  • Add extensions to this pigtail as well and twist to the end. Hold with a hair elastic to keep it secured.
