How To Rock Hair Chains...



...just because our hair is natural doesn't mean we shouldn't have options on how to jazz up our styles a bit.

These chains are the first in a looong line of hair accessories by us over at PeaceImages.

Depending on the thickness of your twists, braids, sisterlocs, or regular locs, I wanted you to know what your options are with this style.

Normally I use silver or brass cuffs to attach the chain, in two parts, onto the section of hair you want to adorn.

For those with shorter, or skinnier locs/twists/braids, I'd be glad to hand coil you some wire that will comfortably fit around the piece of hair you are working with.

I can coil in black, red, silver, or gold wire.

Play with your options. If your hair is black, it'd be super fresh to use silver chain w/ the contrast of black wire.

I can use very tiny chain w/thinner wire, so it will not weigh the hair down.

I will occasionally spiral the chain around my twist, also. As you can see, I have a huge afro.. but when I 2-strand, I love to add some adornments to my tresses.

Natural hair is a commitment, in every sense of the word. Some days the lack of options can be boring and make it more difficult to fully commit. My hope is that this new line of hair jewels will make those moments easier.

Email me anytime with questions, or suggestions. (photosbypeace@gmail.com)

The chains can be purchased here

Bless up!
