Mlolongo Divas! Are you ready to step out with a look that is fresh, bold, and absolutely on-trend? At Angels Salon Mlolongo, we are obsessed with keeping your hair healthy, protected, and incredibly stylish.
The fashion landscape is constantly evolving, and 2025 is bringing back some classics with a modern, artistic flair. We’ve compiled a list of the must-try protective hairstyles that are dominating the scene—styles that we have perfected just for you!
1. The Knotless Braid Craze: Comfort Meets Chic
If there is one style that has cemented its place as a must-have, it’s the Knotless Braid.
- Why We Love It: Unlike traditional box braids, the knotless technique starts with your natural hair before extensions are ‘fed in’ gradually. This dramatically reduces tension on your scalp and edges, making the installation process much more comfortable. No more sleepless nights or painful headaches!
- The Angels Twist: Our stylists ensure a seamless, natural-looking finish. Ask us about adding Ombre Colour Accents—a subtle transition of colour (like rich copper or honey blonde) to the ends—to truly make your braids pop.
2. Goddess Braids: The Ethereal Bohemian Look
For the woman who loves a touch of whimsy and elegance, the Goddess Braid is your go-to style.
- What it is: These are chunky cornrow-style braids that are beautifully finished with loose, curly hair strands incorporated throughout the length or left out at the ends. It creates a gorgeous, soft, and voluminous ‘Boho’ or ‘Mermaid’ effect.
- Perfect for: Holidays, long weekends, or simply celebrating your inner goddess. It’s a chic, protective style that’s both practical and utterly dreamy.
3. Cornrows, But Make Them Art: Fulani & Feed-Ins
Cornrows are a timeless and essential protective style, but the trend now is all about intricate artistry and dynamic patterns.
- The Bold Choice: Fulani Braids. Inspired by the Fula people of West Africa, this style features a mix of cornrows braided straight back, mixed with braids that loop down toward the face or run perpendicular to the others. We love finishing this look with classic beads and gold cuffs—a true celebration of culture and style.
- The Sleek Finish: Feed-In Cornrows. For an exceptionally clean and elegant look, the feed-in method allows us to create beautiful, large cornrows that appear to grow right out of your scalp with no chunky knot at the base. Try them swept to the side for a Dynamic Side-Swept Cornrow style, or gathered into a High Cornrow Ponytail for a sporty-chic vibe.
4. Twists and Locs: Versatile and Low-Maintenance
If you prefer twists to braids, the new trends have you covered with styles that offer volume and versatility.
- Passion Twists: These are the fluffier, more textured two-strand twists that have become incredibly popular for their natural look and lightweight feel.
- Faux Locs: Get the beautiful look of mature locs without the long-term commitment. Whether crocheted or wrapped, this style is a fantastic way to protect your natural hair while trying a bold new texture.
