Experiment this summer with colourful ombré braids

Summer is the best season to experiment with colour and it’s the season to make a big style impact, whether you’re attending festivals, going on vacay or even just protective styling to the max. Ombré box braids are all over Pinterest and Instagram and when stars like Justine Skye and Mila J and Beyoncé are papped rocking  braids with must-have coloured hues, the rest of us follow suit.

Jumbo braid hair comes in all sorts of hues including more muted colours like black/brown/beige mixes and but if grey, mint, purple, blue and orange are your thing, then slay with style. Check out American Dream’s Synthetic Premium Kanekalon Fibre range which has 45 colours to choose from. Prices start at £2.49
