Braiding with Bobby wool

Hi Everyone

Braiding with Bobby wool has become one of the most popular hairstyles among young ladies today. It is stylish, affordable, and gives a neat and beautiful look when done well. The process may look difficult from the outside, but when broken down step by step, it is something anyone can understand.

The first step is to get all the needed materials. For Bobby wool braids, you will need packs of Bobby wool depending on how full you want the hair to be, a comb for parting, scissors for trimming, edge control or gel to keep the lines neat, a bucket of hot water, and of course a chair for the person whose hair is being braided.

The second step is the preparation of the Bobby wool. Since Bobby wool comes in long strands, you need to cut it into the size you want. Some people like it long while others prefer medium length. After cutting, you stretch the wool slightly so that the ends will not be blunt. This makes the braids come out finer and more natural.

The third step is preparing the natural hair. The hair must be combed properly to remove tangles, and sometimes a little cream or oil is applied to soften it. After this, the hair is divided into sections depending on the style or size of braids chosen. The sections must be clean and straight to make the work neat.

The fourth step is the actual braiding. Here, you take a small portion of Bobby wool, place it on the natural hair at the root, and start twisting or plaiting downwards. And yes she needed a knotless braid with irregular shapes in the scalp.

The wool and the natural hair are joined together and braided till the end. This process is repeated section by section until the whole head is completed. It is important to keep the braids firm but not too tight, so that the person does not feel pain or develop bumps on the scalp.

After the braiding is done, the next step is trimming. This is where you use scissors to carefully cut out the flying strands sticking out of the braids. Trimming gives the hair a neat and polished look.

The last step is the hot water treatment. A bowl or bucket of water is boiled until it is very hot. Then, carefully, the tips of the braids are dipped inside the hot water for a few seconds. This helps to soften the ends, seal them, and make the braids flexible instead of stiff. Care must be taken at this stage to avoid burning the scalp or skin. Some people also use a towel to press the braids after dipping, which helps the hair relax better.

In the end, the result is a beautiful Bobby wool braid that is soft, neat, and long-lasting. The process may take hours depending on the size of the braids, but the beauty and confidence it gives make the whole work worth it.
