Remember this? This is a look from my favorite movie
Poetic Justice. I rocked the long box braids in the 8th grade, they were purple and black (yes I was all about colors then) and I loved them. Well it looks like the long box braids are back,
Solange has made them popular again.
You may have seen the YT vids about the "
Solange inspired" box braids. Ladies have been revisiting this look since Bey's "
Party" video where
Solange can be seen rocking her box braids out.
Whether you call them
Poetic Justice,
Patra or
Solange inspired, they make a great protective style and I have been wanting to put some in my hair for a while. I have been going back and fourth and I've gotten mixed feelings in regards, but Im not a trend follower I just need to give my hair a break and this is such an easy way to do it. My deciding factor was a beautiful Tumblr page called
I LOVE Box Braids. It is a tumblr page featuring some of the best photos of this style, be sure to check it out.
I will keep you posted on my box braids installment and such on my actual natural hair blog
Love 4 Natural. So be looking out.
Isnt he beautiful!!!! He has captured our hearts already and he is only a few hours old. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYVIAN!!!
