Braids have been around for centuries and they never fail to look cute, goddess-like, and polished. But here\u2019s the thing, they&#8217;re kind of tricky to do yourself. So why not outsource this task to your man?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by Chris Pratt\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/michelleregna\/chris-pratt-king-of-french-braids\">legendary talent<\/a> for treating ladies to free styling, here\u2019s a plea for all men to learn how to braid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Braiding is a Love Language&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First coined in a 1992 self-help book (and referenced on Hinge profiles far and wide) a love language is the specific way people like to express and receive love. Well guess what? Braiding a partner\u2019s hair technically covers 3 of the 5 languages (<em>Acts of service, Physical touch, Quality time<\/em>). This means learning to braid makes you fluent in your partner\u2019s needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Can Waste Less Time Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all fallen down worse online video holes. Rather than spending hours watching your favorite band&#8217;s set from 2005 or another sports fail compilation, browse a few tutorials on how to braid. Sure it might confuse your algorithm but it\u2019s for a great cause!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning New Skills Keeps You Sharp&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s plenty of scholarly sources that say learning new skills keeps your brain sharp. Switching things up mentally can help you ward off things like long-term memory loss and dementia. Double bonus: learning new things with your partner is a great way to keep a relationship fresh. So switch it up from the latin dance classes and loud dinners out. Pour some wine, grab a brush and try something different together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Because, Why Not?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re social distancing with your significant other, challenge yourself to learn some braids and kill some time. If anything, you&#8217;re guaranteed a good laugh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by Chris Pratt\u2019s legendary talent for treating ladies to free styling, here\u2019s a plea for men to learn how to braid. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":250,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,88],"tags":[112],"class_list":["post-238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hair","category-styling","tag-braids"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 -
