Adding beads to braids, twists, and locs is a quick and easy way to spice up your style! Whether you're looking for ways to add a fun pop of color to your natural hairstyle, want to add more texture to a protective style, or are looking to dress up your little girl's braids with some colorful charms, learning how to put beads in your hair is essential.
Before you can start accenting your braids with beads, make sure that your hair is clean and healthy. It's important to wash, condition, and moisturize your hair before putting in any accessories, as this will help the beads glide on easily and protect your hair from damage.
You can add beads to your braids and twists using a variety of methods, so it's important to pick the right one for you. Depending on the bead type you choose, you may need to secure them with a small rubber band or another tool.
The band method is an easy way to add beading to your hairstyles without damaging strands. To use this method, simply fold a crease into your ponytail holder or thin elastic headband and load it with the desired number of beads. Push the beads up the crease, past the loop, and onto your braid.
Alternatively, you can also use paperclips or ornament hooks as DIY beading tools to secure your hairstyle with beads. This method is more complicated than the other two, but it's still a great way to quickly and easily add beads to your braids or twists without damaging them.
