Hair is a crucial element when it comes to defining a Sim’s style, which is why hair CC enjoys immense popularity among players.
Consider this: the face may capture initial attention, but it’s the hairstyle that frames the head and imparts a unique touch to one’s appearance.
That’s precisely why braided hairstyles are a fantastic addition to any CC collection. Not only do they exude cuteness, but they also offer remarkable versatility and provide excellent protection for the hair.
While The Sims 4 does include a few braided options in its base game, they merely scratch the surface of the vast array of braided hairstyles available in the CC world.
