braid with me!
i sometimes struggle with perfectionism and needing things i do to turn out perfect… that’s not realistic. like girllllll it does not gotta be perfect. the point is not perfection but to have a protective style so i don’t have to do my hair for some time. i also think it’s important to acknowledge that societally black people are held to a different standard in regards to being put together while our counterparts can have their hair be accepted any kind of way. we still face workplace discrimination for our hair and we still fight to see every one of our hair types celebrated. it’s okay for our hair to not be perfect all the time, lines to be crooked, etc. it’s also way more affordable for me to do my own hair when i can. i love how this style turned out and definitely want to do it again. thanks for viewing 🫶🏽

Braid styles have always been a significant expression of culture and individual identity, particularly within the Black community. Styles like Fulani braids, box braids, and beaded braids not only allow for creativity but also serve practical purposes, providing protective styles that preserve hair health. It’s important to embrace the journey rather than strive for unattainable perfection. With many tutorials available, incorporating these styles into your routine can be manageable and cost-effective. Moreover, representation matters in the beauty industry, and as we celebrate our unique hair types, we contribute to a broader acceptance of diversity in beauty standards. Engaging with community discussions on platforms like Lemon8 can also foster connections and encourage sharing of tips and techniques for styling. Let's continue to celebrate our hair in all its forms!
