How long do you keep braids in to make your hair curly?
If you're looking to achieve curly hair without heat damage, braiding is a great option. But how long do you keep braids in to get the best results?
The answer depends on a few factors, including your hair type, the size of the braids, and how tight they are. In general, however, you'll need to keep braids in for at least a few days, and up to a week or more, to see significant results.
If you have fine hair, you may only need to keep braids in for a few days. If you have thicker hair, you may need to keep them in for a week or more. And if you want tight curls, you'll need to braid your hair more tightly.
Once you've taken your braids out, your hair will be curly. However, the curls will not be permanent. They will gradually relax over time, especially if you wash your hair. To keep your curls looking their best, you can use a curl-defining cream or gel.
