Before the oven heated up for the dressing, you could already smell the hot comb warming on the stove. That scent was the official start of the holiday season. Kitchens turned into salons, aunties turned into stylists, and everybody had a chair, a comb, and a story to share.
Nothing beats getting your hair done before Thanksgiving. Silk presses so smooth you could see your reflection. Braids so neat they lasted through New Year’s. Curls that had you walking into holiday gatherings like you were the main event. Hair has always been part of our holiday rhythm. It is family, memory, and culture all wrapped together.
Back in the day, we were burning braid ends over a candle or the stove, and you had to sit still so you did not burn your shoulder off. It was tradition, and everybody did it. Now we know better, and dipping the ends in hot water keeps the style smooth without all the extra smoke. It is a healthier option for your hair and your lungs.
Today, we get to honor those traditions while giving them a modern upgrade with New Village Braid. The hair is non-toxic, lightweight, and made for beautiful protective looks that last through the season. The textures are soft, the quality is consistent, and the styles you can create are endless.
Here are a few holiday-perfect textures and looks you can create with New Village Braid.
Straight Yaki
Perfect for sleek ponytails, knotless braids, and half-up, half-down styles that look clean and polished for family photos and holiday dinners.
Afro Kinky
Full, bold, and ideal for chunky twists, Marley looks, halo crowns, and natural textured updos that bring drama to your outfit.
Water Wave
Soft, springy curls that bounce back. Great for crochet installs, goddess braids, and holiday curls that move.
Deep Wave
Defined waves for head-turning styles. Perfect for boho braids, layered looks, braid-outs, and wave-pattern ponytails.
French Curl
Soft, romantic, and elegant. A beautiful choice for curled-tip braids or side-swept holiday updos that shine in every room.
And the colors bring the style to life. You can go classic with shades like 1, 1B, 2, and 4 for clean, timeless looks. Go bold for the holidays with ginger (30), honey blonde (27), deep burgundy (99J), or mixed blends like 1B/27 or 1B/30 for dimension. These shades look rich, smooth, and perfect for the season.
Whether you want knotless braids for travel, crochet curls for Christmas morning, a braided bun for a holiday party, or a protective style that will carry you into the new year, New Village Braid gives you quality hair that keeps your scalp comfortable and your style beautiful.
As the temperature drops and the holiday playlist comes back around, let your hair tell its own story. Bring the warmth, the joy, and the glow of the season into every braid, twist, and curl.
At New Village Braid, we do more than create styles. We continue the tradition and make room for new memories to come.
