I Got Beyoncé’s Lemonade Style Braids | Hair Me Out | Refinery29

[@SpookyPookster]

The artistry, time and effort put into these braids. Insane people would ever consider this less than professional! Beautiful hair.

[@psychotherapistmft7927]

Natural hair IS professional , love that message!

[@glyndaa8319]

I thought the same thing!

[@glyndaa8319]

I don’t know why people think braids aren’t professional or even banned from some schools. (Not her, others) It’s beautiful, neat, clean and protective. I feel like I’m missing something when I hear things like that.

[@emman2750]

There are schools who only allow natural hair, no styles at all. It’s just the look the school wants to perceive.

[@brittanydoss1799]

Because the world is racist. It’s really simple. Anything connected to blackness is considered less than or “ghetto” until others do it. Then it suddenly becomes trendy. It’s 2022 you shouldn’t need this explained to you.

[@JP-br4mx]

Exactly! Many times I’m at a job orientation and it’s always like no braids cornrows etc etc and I’m like how the fuck am I supposed to wear my hair

Braided hair styles look so freaking beautiful and sophisticated. I just love them so much and can't wrap my head around the hate and prejudice it gets. Also, I never in my life saw someone with braids at work and thought to myself wow they are so unprofessional, how dare they wear something like that. So, if you are reading this please don't feel bad or insecure about wearing your gorgeous braids at work or in a business setting. ♥

[@JuaniqueVerde]

Yessss!! So fly! I love that Najah is into brown. It’s such an underrated color. Kia did a great job! I love the trick of preventing the braids from buckling - I’ve seen so many buckled braids! 🙁 thanks for putting us on, Kia! Also, I love that she is left handed! 🥳🥳🥳

[@sdparkyt.4912]

Love the look especially incorporating a heart braid. My first heart braid was on a client back in the early nineties.

[@dylanjperri]

Kia's voice is absolutely hypnotizing.

[@lisatravieso2958]

I can't wait to see more people wear braids and embrace their curls in a business or work setting.

[@sujonso]

This is beautiful artistry! Kia Harper has some amazing talent.

[@jjean5660]

Looks super gorgeous! The time, precision, talent and craft that goes into braids is next level!

[@_aiyanah]

I thought this was a familiar face! I remember meeting Naja in 2017 when I first started college and a new job at a sushi spot. She was so sweet and encouraging with the words she gave me. I am SO happy to see you again! You are absolutely beautiful and I hope you are thriving where you are! Much love 💕

[@michellehume7718]

This is stunning! Such a powerful hairstyle and the artistry behind braiding is so amazing to me.

[@mskeri24]

The heart design in the back is spot on !!!

[@daciadrummond1982]

Kia did a great job! Naja's hair looks beautiful. I'm so glad she was pleased with her results.

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

I remember meeting Kia for the first time yeeeeaaars ago back in Manhattan! This is soo cool to see how far she's come! I would love to try the Beyonce braids one day too! 😍

Ya i was just accused of being racist for saying i would love these in my hair? Welcome to 2022 where some people are still confused by 2021

I always felt braids looked professional! They are GORGEOUS. Everyone looks Amazing in them

[@jaichanellie]

They look SOOOOO good! Love the chocolate brown color 🤎

I once got my hair braided and they were so tight, I got a headache! I woke up in the middle of the night and had to undo them! My head was throbbing! Never again!

She makes it look like it was easy

[@sallythomas8599]

Absolutely stunning

[@hellokitty-yo6bu]

Wow she is so talented🤍 looks so pretty

[@DML_Mama]

What I wanna know is: 1) The time it took to do it. 2) The price. 3) How long it'll last!

[@himmy_turner_]

braids can last for like 2-3 months but braids like this maybe take like 4-5 hours or and are you black cuz that’s only way you can get these braids

[@bettyottman1718]

Fabulous Braids.

[@xxarianahiltonxx5116]

This is so cute! You look beautiful! I hate that our natural hair styles are deemed unprofessional and ghetto in some places. It makes no sense to me.

Absolutely Beautiful 😍

[@monie2514]

Beautiful style I remember having braids like this my aunt used to do when I was a little girl in the '70s so it's not new. They just taking it from the 60s and the 70s and bringing them back. It's fun but it's even better when you mix different 😇💯‼️🥰♥️🖤💛💚😎 colors brings a lot of fun for the braids I say if a person's job or school has a problem in them wearing their hair braided they need to get a lawyer and Sue because this is discrimination California enacted a law in New York has enacted a law against, discriminating against a person based on their natural hair texture or how they wear it whether it's a afro braids locks etc I said that ever happens you need to sue stop the oppression and standard WS racist antics and discrimination policies in workplace schools etc. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬🥴👎🏼 Beautiful style on a gorgeous lady happy wonderful 2022

[@julialucas9968]

This will prob sound weird but sometimes I wish I had this hair texture so I could do stuff like this lol

[@Yomommalikeditlastnight]

Gorgeous!

[@ladonnasims1431]

[@maggiemcfly5267]

I already have trouble hearing (yes, I'm also old) and then the music gets really loud around 3:30, I can hardly understand what Naja is saying. Maybe next time the music volume can be taken down a few notches 🤷🏽‍♀️ Beautiful work by the braider though.

It always surprises me to learn that black women have struggled to have braids accepted as professional. Braids are my signature style, the hairstyle that makes me feel most myself, and definitely the style I grew up wearing. I never had a problem in school or work with my braids as a hairstyle - I actually feel like they're universally loved and it's the most "professional" (which is already a loaded term, but here I use it to mean clean and low fuss) out of all the hairstyles I rock.

[@walkwithmeASMR]

So pretty. But God it looks painful especially for sleep. I can barely deal with a regular hair bobble (hair band). But yeh, gorgoeus.

[@9melissal]

The braids look beautiful and the skill to do this is so impressive but it always looks like it would be so painful for your scalp to have the hair pulled tight enough that you see that much of the scalp.

[@RealLifeWithCass]

The mousse part is literally for aesthetic purpose, braids are already set so there’s really no point to set anything

Love the braiding! She looked stunning with them. I would love to have this hair style, but it's not exactly appropriate for white people to have...

[@briannaburch6737]

White people can have braids Too as Long as it’s not appropriating the culture you can appreciate them As well if you wanna get braids I’d say why not I’m black by the way They’re beautiful style
