Here are some images of old photographs of communities wearing Fluffy Braids hairstyles, from different eras, ethnic traditions, and cultures.
Some photographs, originally in black and white, have been partially or entirely colourized by the graphic designer AGOBO.
The braids are tightly braided at the roots and then loosened to the ends to create volume. The fact that the braids are loose makes them very lightweight.
This hairstyle is best suited to curly or kinky hair for this effect. Extensions are not necessary to achieve this style.
