This braid style is like box braids with a twist \u2014 you\u2019ll see curly strands of hair throughout the braid and\/or at the ends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many versions of goddess braids, whether you like your braids long and voluminous or up and out of your face. We\u2019ll show you different styles of goddess braids, plus how to maintain them. Once you\u2019ve decided on your goddess braid style, don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/search\/goddess-braids\">book an appointment<\/a> with a braider who specializes in goddess braids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are goddess braids?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goddess braids are very similar to traditional box braids, but they tend to be larger and raised higher. They are woven close to the scalp, similar to cornrows. The biggest distinction between goddess and box braids is that goddess braids are usually long, thick, and have added curly hair extensions throughout the braids and ends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-does-it-take-to-install-goddess-braids\"><strong>How long does it take to install goddess braids?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The time it takes to install goddess braids will depend on a few factors. It can take just <strong>four hours or up to a full day<\/strong>. The installation time will depend on:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The size of your head<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your braid length<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How large the sections are&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How fast your braider can braid&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t had goddess braids before and don\u2019t have a previous time estimate, it\u2019s best to block off a good chunk of the day for installation. By doing so, your braider won\u2019t feel rushed with installation and can provide you with the best results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-do-goddess-braids-cost\"><strong>How much do goddess braids cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Average Prices for Goddess Braid Installation Around the United States<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Virginia (VA)<\/td><td>$308<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Missouri (MO)<\/td><td>$38<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maryland (MD)<\/td><td>$150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Massachusetts (MA)<\/td><td>$251<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Arkansas (AR)<\/td><td>$62<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Average Cost<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>$162<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The total cost of goddess braid installation will depend on several factors, including the price of hair extensions and the level of braid intricacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found that the average cost of goddess braid installation in the United States is <strong>$162<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclaimer: <\/strong>These average costs are the result of averaging available proprietary data from several states.

Follow the process below to get your hair braid-ready.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shampoo-your-hair\"><strong>Shampoo your hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to shampoo your hair \u2014 this step can\u2019t be skipped when doing a protective style. Use a shampoo that&#8217;s sulfate- and paraben-free. While shampooing your hair, focus on scrubbing your scalp. You won\u2019t be able to do a deep clean like this when your goddess braids are installed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-condition-and-moisturize-your-hair\"><strong>Condition and moisturize your hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After your hair is thoroughly cleansed, it\u2019s time to bring back some moisture. Start with applying a moisturizing conditioner on your wet hair. You can use a wide-toothed comb to help distribute the product and detangle your hair. Rinse out your hair and apply a leave-in moisturizer. Repeat the same step of using a comb to distribute the product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stretch-your-hair\"><strong>Stretch your hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have curly (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/3c-hair\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=3c_hair&amp;utm_content=3c%20hair\">3C hair<\/a>) or tightly coiled hair (4C hair), your braider may recommend you stretch your hair out before getting goddess braids installed. It makes the braiding process much easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blow dry method: <\/strong>The easiest method to stretch your hair is by blow-drying it. Use your blow-dryer with the \u201ccool\u201d setting while brushing through your hair. If you opt for a heat setting, be sure to use a heat protectant.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Braid method: <\/strong>This method requires you to braid your hair when damp and allow it to air dry. You can choose to do this when your hair is already dry, but it might not be as easy or effective.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elastic band method: <\/strong>Start by separating your hair into four or more equal sections. Wrap a small elastic band around the base of each section. Working on one section at a time, wrap elastic bands around the length of the hair section. Start from the roots until you get to the ends. Repeat with all other sections and allow your hair to air dry. Once your hair is fully dry, you can remove the elastic bands.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-wash-and-maintain-your-goddess-braids\"><strong>How to wash and maintain your goddess braids&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After getting your goddess braids installed, you\u2019ll want to do everything you can to keep your braids looking nice and fresh. Here are some tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-wash-box-braids\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=wash_box_braids&amp;utm_content=washing%20and%20maintaining%20your%20braids\">washing and maintaining your braids<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Washing your braids:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shampoo your scalp: <\/strong>First, soak your braids in water and cover your scalp with shampoo. Rub your scalp until it\u2019s fully saturated with shampoo. Let the shampoo run through your hair, and then rinse with cold water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Condition your braids: <\/strong>To bring back moisture, use a light conditioner that can penetrate your braids but can easily be washed out. Leave the conditioner on your hair for three to five minutes, then wash it out.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry your braids: <\/strong>Once your hair is fully cleansed, wrap your goddess braids in a microfiber towel to soak up excess water. You can then either let your braids air dry, or use a blow-dryer on the \u201ccool\u201d setting. Make sure to fully dry your braids to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/fungal-infection\/mold-in-hair#other-fungi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">avoid mildew growth<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maintaining your braids:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oil your scalp when needed: <\/strong>A couple of weeks after you get your goddess braids installed, you may notice your scalp becoming itchy or dry. Use an oil, like grapeseed or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/jojoba-oil-for-hair#:~:text=Why%20do%20some%20people%20use,may%20be%20a%20dandruff%20remedy.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jojoba oil<\/a>, to hydrate and soothe your scalp.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wrap your hair in a satin\/silk bonnet or hair wrap: <\/strong>Covering your braids before going to sleep will help protect your style, minimize frizz, and extend the life of your braids.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid using dry shampoo: <\/strong>Dry shampoo will create visible buildup and residue in your braids. Dry shampoo is also used to soak up oil, which you want to avoid with braids. Your goddess braids require all the natural oil they can get, as it helps keep them moisturized and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/5-simple-ways-to-make-your-braids-last-longer\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=braids_last&amp;utm_content=lasting%20longer\">lasting longer<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-and-considerations-of-goddess-braids\"><strong>Pros and considerations of goddess braids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several benefits of wearing goddess braids:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Low maintenance: <\/strong>Goddess braids require little maintenance. Remember to oil your scalp every so often and cover your braids in a satin bonnet or hair wrap at night.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-term protective style: <\/strong>Goddess braids can be worn for six to eight weeks, depending on how well you care for your braids.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also considerations to keep in mind with goddess braids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Long installation time: <\/strong>Similar to other braided styles, the installation time for goddess braids can be quite long. Again, this will depend on the type of goddess braids you want.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heavy hairstyle: <\/strong>Goddess braids require hair extensions to achieve those long, beautiful braids. When first installed, your hair can feel rather heavy, which you will likely get used to over time. There\u2019s also the potential for damage to your edges and baby hairs. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to choose an experienced braider who knows how to avoid damaging your hair during the installation process.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficult to install yourself: <\/strong>Braids can be difficult to install yourself, especially goddess braids due to their length and style. If you don\u2019t have much experience with braiding your own hair, we recommend connecting with a braider who specializes in goddess braids for the best results.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Goddess braids inspiration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve got the basics down about goddess braids, let\u2019s take a look at some of our favorite goddess braid styles to try out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-1140x760.webp\" alt=\"woman smiling with classic goddess braids\" class=\"wp-image-14215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-1140x760.webp 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-856x571.webp 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01-classic-goddess-braids.webp 1560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-classic-goddess-braids\"><strong>Classic goddess braids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the most common goddess braids you\u2019ll come across.

This makes it easier to unravel the braids, especially if you have long goddess braids installed. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable cutting your braids yourself, you can go back to your braider, and they\u2019ll be able to uninstall your braids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-difference-between-goddess-braids-and-box-braids\"><strong>What is the difference between goddess braids and box braids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s not much difference between goddess braids and box braids, as goddess braids branch off from traditional box braids.
