Braided hairstyles have been around since ancient times bringing out the goddess majesty in Egyptians and Africans, and they are beautifully, still in vogue today. From simple French braids to intricate cornrows, there is always a braid style for everyone. You could wear it to a business meeting, to a wedding, to the gym, or even on a date; Just take a look at the goddess-like braids on Ariel in the little mermaid; Irrespective of your hair length, braids are delicate pieces that adds a touch of elegance and style to your look.
