#23: Cornrow Braids

A combo of thin and thick lemonade cornrows with highlights can give you that Beyonce vibe. If you have some length, a pro braider can recreate this combination with any braid size.

This look is “stitch braids” or, as some would like to call it, “railroad tracks.” This isn’t the average cornrow lemonade braids style but is achieved by adding small extensions to the natural hair to increase in size gradually. The thicker your hair is, you add to your side cornrow style. I love how this lemonade braid is quick, convenient, and simple but still shows so much detail in the braids. This medium lemonade braids style can last two weeks or more, depending on your hair type. If you’re looking for a side braid lasting over three weeks, Nari doesn’t suggest this braided hairstyle.

Lemonade braids are simply long cornrows styled side-swept to make you feel like royalty. Beyonce’s trendsetting hairstyle inspires them in her music videos from the album Lemonade. I have seen many amazing variations of this trendy protective hairstyle – from jumbo braids to dyed and decorated ones.

The versatility of this African-American hairstyle will allow you to add a touch of your unique personality to your hair! These side braids were invented to make black women feel confident and proud of their natural textured hair. You can always add some baby hair to soften the look. The key is never to condition your hair for a long-lasting and healthy result! When life gives you lemons, opt for these hair trends yummy braids!
