Beyoncé Rocks New Braided Hairdo

Beyonce Braids
INF; Splash News Online

Beyoncé is returning to her Destiny’s Child roots — and no, we’re not talking about those color-coordinated outfits she used to wear. She’s brought back her braids!

The superstar debuted her new extensions, wrapped up in a statement-making beehive bun, on Wednesday while in N.Y.C. with her daughter, Blue Ivy.

There were whispers that the singer was rocking long honey-hued braids at a party in the Meatpacking District earlier this week, but the new style didn’t make an official public appearance until now.

The hairdo is a major departure from the wavy, natural look she’s favored recently. It also seems as if she’s taken some inspiration from her sister Solange, who’s been sporting a similar look.

Apparently, Beyoncé’s adorable daughter is taking after her mom in the locks department: the little one already has quite a head of hair! Tell us: Do you like Beyoncé’s new hairdo?

@ T in Texas-
Don’t be so naive. Normally, when someone refers to another individual as “nappy”, the intent is to offend, specifically an individual of color. It was very much racist & completely unnacceptable.

AMAZING…. how a racist people sit behind their computer and talk about another culture’s hair style. you got to be kidding me… I wish , I wish, but anyway, “B” laugh that beautiful African hair style all the way to the “BANK”, and let the haters, dodge their bill collectors. Pigs….

Wow. Really, people? Hating on the woman’s hair because it’s in braids? Or in an updo in braids? Seriously, I fail to see how it warrants the truly vitriolic commentary.

you kidding me? it looked like woven basket hat

Alisha on July 18th, 2012

Janelle, I 100% agree with you. I’m failing to understand the straight up vitriolic commentary because Beyonce has some braids in. Or that they’re in an updo. So she’s not rocking the swishy, shiny wig for once. Why not give props for that? Ugh. The ways that ignorant people show their true selves.

it looks pretty what’s wrong with you people you’ve never seen someone with braids before god lee

anri on July 18th, 2012

if it is designed different way, i would love it. but it bothered me because at first i thought it was woven basket hat.

Go Beyonce..

I have Senegalese twists (braids) that look similar and I love wearing them in a high bun! Of course, mine are dark brown and not quite as full, but its so much cooler and convenient in the summer. And I, personally, think they look awesome. I’m biased, of course =)

To lolo the cuckoo. Just because people don’t like it this makes them racist. You are just an ignorant fool.
