Looking for a Protective Styling Solution? Come to Our African Braiding Salon for Advice

Want to give your hair a break from the daily manipulation? If so, Afro twists are the right solution for you. We, at Mr. Krispy Professional Barbershop, can offer you a variety of braiding styles and hair care treatments and among the most preferred are the kinky twists. On this page, you have the chance to learn more about this type of protective styling so you know what to expect from our braider in Oakland, CA when you come to our local African braiding salon for the service.

Protective styles are designed to help women give their natural hair a break from regular manipulation. All that combing and handling of your hair is tension, and it does need a break from time to time. Putting your curls in a protective style does not mean saying goodbye to them. Ignoring them while they are under weave braids or Afro twists, defeats the very purpose of protective styling. You are not touching your hair but as often as possible, you should try to make sure your hair is moisturized.

The first thing our braiders will do when you come to our African braiding salon for twists is to welcome you warmly, with a smile on their faces. Then, they will let you sit down and make yourself comfortable in front of the mirror. Then, they will take a look at your hair, tell you about its condition and explain to you what to expect from the Afro twists. If you are up for getting them done, they will proceed with the preparation work.

They will get your hair wet, blow dry with medium heat and ensure split ends are removed. You need to get your hair stretched in order to get it twisted. The process takes up to a few hours, but we ensure once you see the end results, you will instantly fall in love with them. While there are plenty of women of color out there who prefer to do their twists on their own, many locals in Oakland, CA prefer to get them done in our African braiding salon. Whether it is time constraints or simply lack of technique and knowledge, we welcome anyone to come to us for assistance.

Twists are actually similar to extensions because they add length to your hair; they are also similar to dreadlocks and will give you the Rasta vibe. Unlike other African hairstyles, twists look even better with time. Want to see some results of our work on other clients?
