Short hair is having a serious moment in Nigeria right now — and the Lush Hair Nigeria Curly Braids Short is exactly what you need to be part of it. At 30 inches with a beautiful pre-curled texture, soft synthetic fibre, and 5 colour options, this braiding hair lets you create cute short styles that turn heads without spending hours in the salon. It is currently on sale for only ₦9,040 (12% off the regular price of ₦10,215.20), and you need just 2 packs for a full head. Here is everything you need to know — from styling ideas to installation to keeping those curls looking fresh.
What Is the Lush Hair Nigeria Curly Braids Short?
The Curly Braids Short is a 100% synthetic braiding hair with pre-curled, bouncy ends. It is designed to give you that textured, curly-finish braid style — think braids that end in beautiful spirals rather than straight blunt tips. At 30 inches, the length sits between chin and shoulder level once installed, making it ideal for anyone who wants a short, manageable style with maximum visual impact.
Unlike regular braiding hair that you have to curl separately, the Curly Braids Short comes pre-curled from the pack, saving you time and effort. The fibre is lightweight, tangle-free, and silky — meaning it feels great on the head and looks great in photos.
Available in 5 colour options: 1 (jet black), 27 (honey blonde), 30 (auburn), 1/144 (black to burgundy ombre), and 1/27 (black to golden blonde ombre).
Why Short Curly Braids Are Trending in Nigeria Right Now
The short braid moment is real — and it makes sense. Here is why more Nigerian women are choosing shorter curly braid styles:
● Less weight on your scalp — shorter styles are lighter and more comfortable to wear daily
● Faster installation — a short style takes significantly less time than waist-length braids
● More versatile styling — short braids are easier to manipulate into updos, puffs, and side styles
● The curly finish adds texture and depth that makes a short style look fuller and more intentional
● Trending on social media across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt — the short curly braid is the style of the moment
5 Cute Short Hairstyles You Can Create with Curly Braids Short
The shorter length opens up a world of styling options. Here are five looks to try:
1. The Curly Bob
One of the most classic and flattering short styles. Let the braids hang naturally at jaw or shoulder level and the pre-curled ends create a full, bouncy bob effect. Part in the middle for a symmetrical look or to the side for something more relaxed. This works for every face shape and suits both casual and formal occasions.
2. The Half-Up Curly Puff
Gather the top half of your curly braids into a small puff or bun at the crown and let the lower half hang freely with the curled ends. This look is playful, youthful, and incredibly easy to achieve — you only need a satin scrunchie and about 30 seconds. Great for school, work, or a day out.
3. The Centre-Part Curl Drop
Part your braids down the centre and allow them to fall on either side of your face. The curly ends frame your face beautifully and the centre part gives the style a very editorial, intentional look. This is one of the most photographed styles for short curly braids and it works especially well with colour options like 1/27 or 1/144 that add depth.
4. The Side-Swept Short Style
Sweep all your braids to one side and let them fall over one shoulder. Use a small clip or pin at the top to secure the sweep. The curly ends create a full, dramatic effect on one side while the other side stays clean and minimalist. This is perfect for events, date nights, and occasions where you want to stand out without an elaborate updo.
5. The Short Updo / Twisted Puff
Gather all your short braids upward into a loose, full puff or twisted updo at the crown of your head. Because the extensions are shorter, the puff sits compact and round — like a natural hair puff but with the added texture of the curly braid ends peeking out around the edges. Secure loosely with a satin band to protect the roots.
How to Install Curly Braids Short
The Curly Braids Short installs like regular braiding hair — you feed it in at the root alongside your natural hair and braid downward. Here is a simple installation guide:
1. Wash and deep condition your natural hair before installation day
2. Part your hair into sections and braid or cornrow as your chosen style requires
3. Take a section of the Curly Braids Short, fold it in half, and feed it into the root of your braid alongside your natural hair
4. Braid down the length of the extension and allow the pre-curled ends to fall naturally
5. Do not separate the curls with a brush — gently separate by hand only to preserve the curl shape
6. Repeat across the full head using 2 packs for complete coverage
You can also do a hybrid middle-part style using 3 weft bundles sewn onto cornrows plus 1 crochet bundle for the braided sections. Explore the full Lush Hair Nigeria Braids collection for more styles that pair well with this technique.

How to Care for Your Curly Braids Short
Protecting the pre-curled finish is the key to keeping this style looking fresh. Here is what to do:
● Do not use hot water or heat on the curly braids — heat loosens the curl pattern and permanently changes the texture
● Refresh your curls between wash days by lightly misting with water and scrunching gently — never brush
● Sleep in a satin bonnet or wrap your hair in a satin scarf every night to protect the curl shape and reduce frizz
● Apply a light Lush Hair leave-in conditioner to keep the moisture in your natural hair underneath
● Use a Lush Hair hair food on the scalp to prevent dryness and maintain scalp health under the braids
