About Ghana Braids
Ghana braids, also known as straw braids or Ghana straight braids, are a distinctive protective hairstyle with origins in Ghanaian culture. Characterized by their straight, sleek appearance and intricate scalp patterns, these braids are woven close to the head, often starting with cornrow-inspired parts that create visually striking designs. They are typically created using natural hair extensions for added length and volume, making them ideal for those seeking a low-manipulation style that protects hair from damage. This style is popular among Black women in Birmingham and beyond for its versatility, durability, and cultural significance, often chosen for its ability to last several weeks with proper care. At Niyo Hair and Beauty, our skilled stylists specialize in Ghana braids, ensuring a comfortable and precise installation.
