3. Long Jumbo Tribal Braids

If you’re not looking to spend too much time in the salon chair, then jumbo middle part tribal braids are the way to go! Enhance your jumbo braids this summer by wearing them long. One thing to know about Jumbo braids is that they tend to last a shorter time. However, you can lengthen the time of the look with SheaMoisture’s Wig & Weave Tea Tree & Borage Seed Oil Shine Spray.

4. Two-Toned Middle-Part Tribal Braids

Another beautiful way to wear middle part tribal braids is to wear a two-toned hair look that is split by the middle part. On one side of your mane, wear your natural hair color, and then on the other side, wear a bolder color or a color you’ve always wanted to try to create a beautiful contrast. Who knows? This may inspire you to fully delve into wearing the bolder hair color you’ve been on the fence about for so long.
