Should You Get Braids This Summer? Pros and Cons to Consider

Raise your hand if you love braided weave hairstyles ✋🏾! I’m right there with you, and I don’t see them going out of style anytime soon.

First, they’re incredibly versatile, and second, they’re the ultimate protective style that adds a unique touch to anyone who rocks them.

As someone committed to my natural hair journey, I’m always reminding friends how important it is to care for our hair and keep it growing healthy and strong.

But, like everything in life, braids have their downsides – ones we often overlook because we love the style so much. And it wouldn’t be fair if we didn’t discuss them. 🤐

Now, you might be wondering, “Why is HazuHair talking about braids when they’re known for hair extensions?” Good question! The new trend in braiding is using bulk human hair for a more natural, longer-lasting look instead of synthetic!

So if you’re considering this protective braid style this summer, here’s a rundown of the pros and cons to help you decide.

Pros of Summer Braids

1. Endless Style Options

One of the best parts about braids is the endless variety of styles you can try. Whether you go for box braids, Ghana braids, jumbo braids, or Senegalese twists, there’s no shortage of protective hairstyles to experiment with. You can even grab some wet and wavy bulk hair for added texture!

Plus, if you’ve been wanting to try out a bold color, braids allow you to experiment without the long-term commitment. Unleash your creativity and go wild with styling—braids give you that freedom!

2. Low Maintenance

Waking up without having to fuss over your hair every morning? Yes, please! Braids drastically reduce your daily maintenance routine, though they still need a little care to keep them looking fresh. It’s essential to keep your scalp and natural hair healthy, so spritz some water or moisturizer throughout the week to maintain your hair’s natural oils.

If you’re constantly on the go or prefer low-effort styles, braids are perfect for you—and everyone will love your new look!

3. Long-Lasting Style

Braids are known for their longevity, making them both a time-saver and money-saver. They can last anywhere from one to two months, sometimes even longer. They tend to look more natural the longer they’re in, too.

Running low on funds? 🪫 Refresh your look by redoing the braids along the edges and perimeter for a clean, fresh vibe. With summer lasting from April to September in some places, you have plenty of time to rock your braided look all season. Longevity is definitely a top advantage of braids for summer!

4. Protective Braiding Hairstyles

One of the top reasons braids are so beloved is their ability to act as a go-to protective style. With twists or braids, your natural strands are tucked safely away from the elements, promoting better length retention over time.

5. HazuHair Showroom’s Curly and Wavy Braiding Hair

When it comes to braiding hair, synthetic options are popular, but if you’re considering a boho or goddess braid look, human hair braiding options deliver a more natural, luxurious finish. HazuHair’s top-selling deep wave human braiding hair is a fantastic choice to add extra texture and quality to your look.

Combining braids with weave can elevate your style, and if you’re looking for braid extensions, the crochet boho braids are a fast and convenient option. This approach saves you hours in the stylist’s chair while still achieving beautiful, summer-ready braids.

With so many braiding styles out there, why limit yourself? Try out a variety of looks to find the perfect one for you!

Drawbacks of Summer Braids

1. Hair Breakage

One of the main concerns with getting box braids is the potential breakage, especially around the edges. If braids are done too tightly, this can strain your hair follicles, increasing the risk of breakage. Opting for large or extra-long braids can also weigh heavily on your scalp, sometimes causing discomfort or even pain if the size isn’t manageable.

Micro-sized braids, while trendy, are notorious for causing hair loss along the hairline. So, while beauty is the goal, it’s essential to prioritize the long-term health of your hair too.

2. Time-Intensive

If you’re like me and prefer quick, low-maintenance styles, braids can feel like the opposite. Both the installation and removal processes take hours—anywhere from 6 to 8 hours or more, depending on the length and size of the braids. It’s a commitment, so if you’ve got the patience, then more power to you!

Just remember, after all that time, you’ll want the results to be worth it. And when removing them, it’s critical to be careful so you don’t accidentally cut or damage your natural hair.

3. Costly Price Tag

Braids aren’t always budget-friendly, especially considering the time and skill involved. Prices can range widely depending on the stylist, and you can easily end up spending as much as a car payment 💸.

However, if you want to save a bit, you could opt for virgin bulk hair instead of raw bulk hair, which is pricier. Another option is to try doing them yourself, though this might take some practice to get right.

Considering these factors will help you decide if summer braids are the right style for you!
