The Piqué Lâché is a unique Afro hairstyle that beautifully blends traditional braiding techniques with the installation of loose hair extensions. It's perfect for achieving long, voluminous hair with an incredibly natural, free-flowing appearance.

A Clever Technique Blending Braids and Loose Hair
The "piqué-lâché" technique involves braiding a base (often cornrows) onto which strands are "picked" and allowed to fall freely. The final effect creates the illusion of thick, dense, and voluminous hair, perfect for special occasions or a dramatic change of look.
Benefits of the Piqué Lâché on Natural Hair
It's a protective hairstyle that limits manipulation of the hair lengths. It also allows you to experiment with volume and length without altering your natural hair. Thanks to synthetic or natural extensions, you can play with textures, curls, and wavy effects, for a versatile look.
Maintenance and Tips to Extend Wear
As with weaves or braids, it's essential to keep the scalp clean and moisturized. Use a styling mousse to smooth frizz and restore structure. Protect the hairstyle at night with a scarf. The piqué lâché generally lasts 3 to 5 weeks.
