Braids are super long-lasting hair pieces, because they can be opened, combed and be braided again. They look like just styled every time you wear them - just like freshly braided braids of your own, long hair would look! Never wear a fringy ponytail braid again!

Magic Tribal Hair braids come in 4 styles distinguished by hair texture and braiding style:

• Classic braids
• Messy braids
• Afro braids
• Fantasy braids

Classic Braids

Best for classic ponytails braids and pigtails in straight and wavy hair, they come as braided braid or rope braid/ twist braid. You just decide how you receive them, you can restyle them to respective other style any time you want, just like you could do with your own, long hair.

Classic braid pairs are perfect for natural looking braided updos, the compact braiding style provides realistic hair volume and is easy to drape and pin up. Buns of single braided braids are quite small due to the compact braiding style.

The smaller classic braids are also great for braiding together with your own ponytail to enhance length and volume. We show how this works in the braid wonder listing for a paranda style braid which corresponds to a single classic braid in volume sizes S and M.

Classic braids can be worn unbraided as wavy hair falls with soft waves/ beach waves, too. This applies to all pigtail sizes and to single braids from volume size L.
The single volume style L braid and the pair of volume style S braids belong to the top 5 of our most popular multi-styling hair pieces!


Messy Braids

Best for curly and wavy hair but also for straight hair to create a natural, messy hairstyle! Messy look braids are of lusher volume than respective classic braid in the same volume size. Still they come with the same amount of hair and are as lightweight - the volume is due to hair texture that also supports the messy look. 

Messy braids are more loosely braided to bring out the messy look best. In most listings you can see a difference in thickness of the same braid, because we show it more compactly and more loosely braided. This means messy braids can be slightly varied in widths.

Messy look braids make the most gorgeous braided and natural buns with enhanced volume in straight, wavy and curly hair. They are perfect for layered buns as well, which are a very popular and elegant updo hairstyle often chosen for proms and weddings. 

Our messy braid in volume size L is in the top 5 of our most popular multi-styling hair pieces, because you can wear it unbraided as curly hair fall. Pinned up in 3 or more layers it makes the most gorgeous fancy volume chignon, a layered bun that looks extremely realistic!


Afro Braids

Our afro braids come braided or twisted as rope braids, just as you like them! Still you can change the style to respective other style any time you want. Besides our lush fantasy braids afro braids make the best twist braids of a smooth and curvy look, while twist braids of other hair textures tend so look a bit edgy.

Afro braids are made of crimped hair with tiny zigzag waves, very much alike african american hair. When braided this hair looks not entirely but quite straight and it is very carefree, hence our afro braids have become popular with women of all ethnicities and with all kinds of hair. Crimped hair is most carefree and easier to rebraid to neat braids than the other hair textures.

Afro braids provide great volume in a lightweight format, due to the crimped hair texture. The various volume sizes correspond to respective volume sizes in messy braids and classic straight hair braids which means they come with the same amount of hair but provide a much greater volume due to their voluminous hair texture. 

Crimped hair is often used unbraided for wild fantasy, Goth and steampunk hairstyles as well. Pigtail braids S and M and the single L braid make the most gorgeous, lush hair falls.

Afro braids are wonderful to use in lush chignons and braided updos. They are fluffy and easy to drape and pin due to the less compact braided style. They make the most gorgeous and high volume hair buns. So even if you have straight hair you might prefer afro braids for your fantasy larp or cosplay hairstyle! Did you know that crimping straight hair with a heated crimping iron is an old hair dresser's trick to add volume to straight hair for making updos? While such heat treatments are quite stressful to your own hair you can spare your hair by simply adding an afro braid of crimped hair!


Fantasy Braids

Our fantasy style braids are 3-strand braids that look as if they were made of a special braiding pattern. The hair is arranged or comes with decorative strands that will come out in this special look when you redo the braid in the regular 3-strand braided look. This means you get a special look with a braid you can redo and without having to learn complicated braiding patterns. The higher volume fantasy braids look gorgeous as twist braid/ rope braids, too!

Most fantasy braids are made of crimped hair, because you need some volume for this special braiding style. Crimped hair is a copy of african american hair that has become very popular as a wonderful styling helper in hair pieces for all ethnicities. Hair dressers have been adding crimped zigzag waves with heating crimping irons to straight and wavy hair to enhance volume for updos for a long time already, why not use this trick in hair pieces, too?

Fantasy braids are gorgeous for all kinds of hair and pinned up their special look results in the most gorgeous hair buns and updos.
Our supersize fantasy braid is in the top 5 of our multi-styling hair pieces, due to the special bun look as great Renaissance or steampunk fantasy look, as beehive 60s chignon for rockabilly stylings and as lush african american bun updo for proms and weddings.

Choose between different volume sizes and hair textures!

Each offer refers to one braid model which means a specific volume size in wavy or crimped hair texture. This model can be ordered in any hair color! Most models are available with crimped and wavy hair. Braids of crimped hair are a bit thicker than braids of wavy hair, because crimped hair offers more volume. It is also easier/ quicker to braid. But if your own hair is straight or wavy, a braid of wavy hair will look more natural, of course.
There are sometimes several listings for the same model in order to show it in different hair colors straight in the overview. 
 

2 attachment options; the basic attachment and our professional  attachment, strong hold in fine/ thin hair

The professional one is convenient for all kinds of hair, provides extra strong hold and can hence be used for dance and theater performances, too. Some extra pompous braids do we offer with professional "fishtail" attachment only. But we actually highly recommend the professional "fishtail" attachment for all braids.
 

More than "just a braid"!

Braids by Magic Tribal Hair are perfect multi-purpose items - use them for many stylings!
Larger/ wider braids and pairs are also beautiful as open falls. The most popular sizes for this purpose are size L of wavy hair and the pair of size S braids of wavy hair.

Braid or twist your braid to change your braid styling! The models of crimped hair are better for twisting, because the hair has more volume and can be twisted more easily.
All braids can be pinned up into gorgeous buns as well! You get 2 different buns depending on if the braid is braided or twisted! All pairs can be used for a pair of buns or other braided updos.
