I couldn’t let the month of April go by without a post dedicated to my beauty diaries! Today’s topic: box braids. Now I know, I know…I’m  hella late to the game but it’s only because I have literally gone my entire life wearing braids. 

I didn’t get my first partial weave until I was 18 and didn’t start wearing them regularly till I was about 20. So I was kinda over braids…however lately, I have been wanting a hairstyle that allows me to just get up and go…and braids let me do just that. 

For inspiration I looked to celebs, tumblr and pinterest to see how I wanted mine to look. 

I also didn’t want to spend a fortune, so I took a stab at it myself.

This is how they turned out..can’t wait to try out the numerous box braid styles and tutorials!
