About

Blessing Hair Braiding has been offering African hair braiding in District Heights since 2002. It is a family-owned and operated business, and the owner is a woman who is described on the site as a skilled hair braider, with a customer testimonial speaking to her hair knowledge.

The menu is grouped into braids, twists and locs. Braids include cornrows, Dutch braids, Ghana braids (feed-in cornrows that grow larger toward the nape), box braids, Fulani braids, lemonade braids (side-swept cornrows), yarn braids, knotless box braids, tree braids and micro braids. Twists include kinky twists, Nubian twists, passion twists and Senegalese twists, which are two-strand twists made with synthetic extensions. Goddess locs, faux locs often decorated with jewels or beads, are the one loc style listed.

Session length depends on the style: cornrows usually take about 2 to 4 hours, lemonade braids 4 to 6, box braids 4 to 8, Senegalese twists 4 to 8, knotless box braids 5 to 8, micro braids 6 to 12 and goddess locs 6 to 10. Prices are listed as ranges and may change with hair length, thickness and the extensions chosen. Styles not on the price list can be discussed by phone at 301-613-6650, and bookings can be made online or by phone.

The salon is open 8am to 6pm and closed on Sundays. Walk-ins are welcome when a stylist has an opening. The business offers a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee and sells beauty supplies. The salon says it uses high-quality products to protect clients' hair.

The salon says it adapts each style to the client's needs and preferences and can work from a design the client brings in. Its knotless method is described as tension-free and suited to clients with thin edges or tender scalps.
