How about playing Rock in Rio and betting hairstyles with braid? The festival is approaching and is already giving that gas when it’s time to choose the look of millions and comfy yet trendy looks. After all, it is a festival and the last thing we need is to feel that the clothes are tightening or the foot hurts, right?
With this in mind and already warming up for the event scheduled between 2 and 11 September, directly from Cidade do Rock, Rio de Janeiro, we have brought you 4 braided hairstyles to get you inspired! Oh, and it’s worth remembering that the one who helped us with the tips was the trancista Carlo Ancleto.
nago braid
According to the professional, the nagô braid has several variations, but the most popular models are those that have a single braid on the top of the head or smaller braids that draw tight mini “paths”. Both, by the way, are made close to the forehead.
“The principle is the same. Separate the strands and weave close to the skin so as not to lose the firmness of the hairstyle. For a good finish, use gel, ointment or fixative”.
Step by step:
- Separate a thin strand by making a straight part in the hair in the center;
- Take three small strands in equal proportions and separate them;
- On the front, with the fingers very close to the root and with the fingertips, take the middle thread to the right, the right thread to the center and so on with all the threads;
- Then, keep feeding yourself with other strands of loose hair until you finish the braid you started.
built-in braid
This is considered one of the most classic and desired. In other words, it’s impossible to stay off the list. Much like the nagô technique, the braid can be done with both straight, wavy, curly and afro hair – and better, the length of your lock doesn’t matter.
Step by step:
- Start from the top of the head;
- Divide into three central strands;
- The central lock goes to the right, the right lock goes to the center and so on, feeding the side locks with other locks of the rest of the hair;
- Bind off to the end and secure the end.
boxer braid
Famous for being the braid of MMA fighters, boxers are also on the short list of braided hairstyles and can accompany you to a festival like Rock in Rio. The trancista says that the base is the same as the sausage, but it is made from the side of the head.
Step by step:
- Divide your hair in half;
- In the parting on the right side, start by separating the front part of the hair into three strands;
- The middle strand goes to the right, the right strand in the center and the left strand in the center;
- As this process is carried out, it is necessary to nourish it with small parts of hair, completing the side strands, fixing all the hair in the braid strand by strand, always close to the scalp;
- Secure the end and repeat the procedure on the other side.

Last but not least, Karla, who is registered on GetNinjas, explains that this hairstyle is usually super common and has no exact “direction” to go. “The starting concept is the same as the others, but what changes is the imagination and creativity, as it can wander in different directions of the head”, she points out.
