Micro braids take the longest to install of any size, sometimes a full day, but the payoff is a texture and movement that reads as close to natural hair as a braided style gets.
These are the twelve I love most.
Classic Micro Braids
A full head of tiny, fine braids moves and swings the way natural hair does, which is exactly the appeal.
Micro Braids in a Sleek Ponytail
The fine texture gathers into an especially sleek, smooth ponytail that larger braid sizes can’t quite achieve.
Micro Braids With Soft Curls
Curling the ends of micro braids adds movement that mimics natural hair even more closely.
Micro Braids in an Updo
The fine texture pins beautifully into an elegant, detailed updo for a formal occasion.
Colored Micro Braids
Color blends especially seamlessly on micro braids, giving a natural, dimensional finish rather than an obvious extension look.
Micro Braids With a Side Part
A side part on micro braids looks nearly indistinguishable from a natural part, which is part of what makes this size so popular.
