Goddess braids can be flirty, sexy, romantic, or even bold – the choice is yours. Though they are most common among ethnic women, they are perfect for anyone, whether you’re looking for a daily style that you can wear for weeks or something special for a night out on the town.

Also, goddess braids updos are similar to cornrows but are thicker and can be less damaging and harsh on your scalp and hair.  Whether you have natural hair or extensions, goddess braids styles allow you to be as detailed or simple as you wish and highlight your unique style.

What Are Goddess Braids?

Goddess braids are much like traditional cornrows in many ways. They sit close to the scalp, and they can be created from your own natural hair or from a combination of your natural hair and extensions. Goddess braids updo styles are larger and thicker than cornrows, which means there are fewer of them. This allows the braids to be designed in any way that best suits your personality and style.

Goddess braids styles can be short or long, symmetrical or asymmetrical, and colored in any way you choose. You might opt for a bold mohawk goddess braid, or you might choose something a little more romantic, like goddess braids in a bun. You can opt for traditional braids or twist them into a classy goddess braids updo, too. Braids can be put into a bun or ponytail, or they can be mixed with traditional cornrows with hints of bright colors from ribbons or extensions.

You could even opt for 2 goddess braids that meet each other in the middle and become one. You might also choose styles that consist of four goddess braids – two on each side – that meet in pigtails at the nape of your neck. The possibilities are endless.

How To Make Goddess Braids

Creating goddess braids in your hair is much like creating cornrows, but it’s done on a much larger scale. You can always visit a hairdresser or stylist who is experienced in these beautiful braids, but if you want to do it at home, all you need is some time and practice. There are several steps: Start by choosing your style and mapping where the goddess braids will go. and whether you will create a goddess braids ponytail or other updo.

  1. Throughout the process make sure you are using natural products on your hair, such as those listed below, to help your goddess braids last longer.
  2. Separate a chunk of hair (or extension) equal to the thickness you want the braid to be and divide that chunk into two sections – one should be twice as thick as the other.
  3. Loop the thin strand over the thicker strand to make three sections of hair that are about the same thickness, then start braiding as you would a cornrow. If you are using extensions, be sure the extension is placed into the center of the parted hair starting at the hairline to make it look natural.
  4. Continue braiding the hair back or in the direction you’ve chosen, and if you’re using extensions, continue to add them as evenly as possible throughout the entire braid.
  5. Once you reach the ends of the hair, clip the fly-away hair, and dip the ends of the braids in hot boiling water to create a seal.

How To Make Your Goddess Braids Last

Now that your braids are in place, it’s time to think about some ways to keep them looking gorgeous as long as possible. Many different goddess braids hairstyles can last for six to eight weeks, and there are a couple things you can do to help them last.

First and foremost, if you’re rocking goddess braids in a bun or ponytail, you may want to consider letting the updo down at night and wrapping your head in a silk scarf. This will prevent breakage and unsightly fly-away hair. Keeping your hair strong will also help, so use a light oil sheen like the Better Braids Hair and Scalp Oil every two or three days, too. If you take care of your braids, you can have up to 12 weeks of a gorgeous goddess braids updo.
