About Overbraid
The Overbraid is a distinctive hairstyle with deep roots in Levantine culture, particularly popular in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. It features intricate braids woven over the crown or top section of the head, often leaving the rest of the hair loose or styled in complementary ways, creating a balanced and elegant look. This style is celebrated for its protective qualities, reducing daily manipulation and damage to the hair while showcasing artistic braiding patterns.
