Some people will leave them in for up to two months. Sisterlocks, a natural hairstyle worn by Hatchett, is actually a permanent hairstyle. Doing kind of a reverse braid, almost like crocheting, creates this newer style. Initially,it does take time to have the hair braided, but the time spent depends on the style and length of a person s hair. Braiding hair in plaits, which are braids using larger sections of hair, is probably the quickest style, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or two.
Singles are the single long micro braids that hang straight down from the head.
These can take hours depending on how much hair a person has. Many braid designs use additional synthetic hair. The added hair completes the finished look and adds fullness and body. Cornrows are braiding on the scalp in very small close rows. This can take several hours, sometimes up to six or more, depending on how intricate the design.
