Are you having difficulties spicing up your buns or ponytails? One or two simple braids can do the trick. If you can't braid, I have seen a lot of realistic, cute braided-headbands that could be used!
This was the "trend" in 2010 & 2011, but for most of us Black Women braids were never and will never be a trend.
Here are a few styles I came across.

I found all of these images on Google and Essence.com. I do not own any rights to these.
Am definitely adding some of these pictures to my inspiration file!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these looks. I completely agree with you, braids are not a trend for us. I can't wait until I have the long french braid to throw over my shoulder. The french braid is already my go to style.
