In a linen shirt and two braids. or one or three
(Originally published in my column in Lasha)
For years it didn’t occur to me to do braids. As a girl it seemed ugly to me, not to mention old. After the army, a braid reminded me of the army (which I spent with a Chinese braid 80% of the time). A few years ago the braid came back into my life, at first unintentionally: I would plan to leave the house with messy hair. On the way I would braid it so that it wouldn’t catch moisture and swell (if you don’t understand what I’m talking about, I’m happy for your happiness) and when I saw that I liked the result, I started braiding it on purpose. When your hair is braided in a loose braid, I discovered, you still enjoy the feeling of protection that long loose hair gives, without feeling that it absorbs all the jiffa that is in the air. Yes, it can be understood that my choice of hair design is not related to appearance and certainly not to trends. Which only added to the joy when braids suddenly became a kind of trend, at least judging by the Instagrams of the Danish women I follow or by those sitting at the tables nearby in Paris cafes during the Passover holiday.
The braids menu that interests me:
What not
1. Nothing complicated.
2. Nothing that cannot be done alone.
3. Not a tight braid that causes a headache.
what yes
1. Braids that can be undone in a second and the hair will still look the same (maybe a little more wavy).
2. One back or side braid.
