So, for the past month I've been threatening to get braids. Each time that I do and tell a Street Doll, she tells me, "Sit down." But really, are they back? At one point and time braids were more than just the convenient way to grow out your hair without heat and styling damage, they were actually a style and were considered "pretty." However, with the return of more women wanting to go sans chemical and with stars like Solange rocking the "Poetic Justice braids," they seem to be making a come back.
It could be said that braids remain for "college girls," young girls and anyone under 18, but braids (if taken care of properly) are a great way to grow your hair AND wear that cute bun on the top of your head, with sunglasses and red lipstick. My little cousins have them--note the word little--but they look adorable. Okay well not pre-teens but they are surely under 25. And how old is Solange anyway? Well, the verdict is still out, but kudos to those who have ventured back to the 90's without the rest of us.
