Everywhere I go, I can’t help but
notice how ladies just love keeping their crowns in braids. This easily
manageable hairstyle has been seen on red carpets for years, but only now does
it have such an impact. Singer and actress Solange Knowles did no justice to
this trend when she pulled the longer, thicker style recently. Many girls went
craaaazyyyy when they realised that the hairstyle is not only affordable but it
can be done by any kind of hair type. I’m talking relaxed hair and afros. While
everyone was trying to adjust to the return of braids, 5FM DJ and model Poppy
Ntshongwana gave the hairstyle a twist by giving it bangs. Wow, talk about
bringing sexy to a hairstyle. IT girl Bonang Matheba rocked the short twisted
version, while South African sexiest woman Boitumelo ‘Boity’ Thulo gave it a
brown shiny colour. Truth is, a few years ago, if one had braids on, we’d think
she is too outdated for words. But guess what, one can also throw in a bit of
accessories by tying a tiburn, to add a bit of vintage flair. A nice neat bun
would make a simple yet quirky style for our ladies. So if u low on budget, or
feel like you were not part of this trend, do not fret. You can still rock it,
because this trend is about to stay. Happy braiding ladies
