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?

Weaves and natural hair braiding are some expects of culture.

It doesn’t matter if it’s her natural hair or not, and why should it?

What dislike and spit vitriol comments on things, why not try to understand? Her hairstyle isn’t hurting anyone.

I’m very saddened by all these comments. As an African American woman about to enter corporate american, I am afraid that I won’t be accepted unless my hair is always straight and always conforming to European American standards of beauty.

No offense but that looks like a big ball of yarn sitting on her head. She’s so pretty but this is not a good look.

So that’s where my pile of meatloaf mix went!

The problem is that Beyonce,Oprah, and others go to the extreme to pretend that all of those weaves and lace front wigs are their natural hair, which as anyone with half a brain would know is ridiculous. I love the exotic natural hair and wish it were worn more. Beyonce’s hatural hair is like her husbands. I have seen pictures. This is why she is going to great lengths to put that wig on the baby. This continues the big cover up lie and makes it more believable that she has this “great” hair. This is sad.
