We’re really digging this back in the day style. Stevie Wonder and Patrice Rushen rocked their 80s style braids with copious amounts of beads. Alicia Keys picked up the mantle in the late 90s and more recently soul diva Eryca Badu has been rocking her ultra long braids complete with beaded fringe. No longer seen as naff or something you want to avoid, beads of all shapes and sizes are trending right now and they’re a must for slaying your braided hairstyle this season.
