Goddess braids are an excellent protective hairstyle that comes in different patterns and creates stunning looks. One of the best ways to style goddess braids is by weaving kanekalon hair that will add fullness and a bright touch to your hairstyle. In this article, I will give you step-by-step guidance, photos and video tutorial so that you can successfully master making goddess braids with kanekalon for yourself or your daughter.

Goddess braids are very similar to cornrow braids, the only difference is that Gotti braids are thicker and higher. Again, both goddess locs and cornrows are similar to French braids because they are braided close to the scalp. However, unlike French braids, the strands are crossed under each other and not on top of each other, which makes the braid look tighter and stick out from your head.

Another source of confusion is what type of hair you need to create goddess braids. While stylists claim that it is possible to get Gotti braids with your own hair, a few women and girls have hair that is thick enough to achieve full, voluminous braids. So to get a hairstyle that looks truly divine, you will need to “feed in” some synthetic hair (I'll show you how soon).

Kanekalon hair is a relatively cheap and lightweight option, which is why it is the top choice for feed-in braids. This tutorial features pink kanekalon hair that will allow you to create goddess braids with color, but you can actually choose any other type of hair extensions to braid and use the color that matches your natural hair.
