Colourful Braids brings new look





Braids have always been a huge part of the African hair culture and have since evolved. Colourful braids have become a growing trend among young people across South Africa. As opposed to the ordinary black braid, ladies nowadays prefer colours such as ombre, red, yellow and purple.

Radio personality DJ Doowap says that colourful braids just give you “that thing.” I mean even Pearl Thusi would agree. Quantico star and TV personality Pearl Thusi was also photographed rocking colourful box braids recently.


This has been a fast growing trend around women across the country.The colourful braids have been used as a form of expression for those who dare to be different.

One may argue that the style may be trendy but is not for everyone. The use of an unusual colour can show of your confidence and bold character which seems to be the current theme for women across the world.

More people are gravitating to these braids as they appear to be more expressive and can be styled in different ways. Ladies want a sense of belonging therefore they choose to follow the trend. Colour braids are fashionable and are definitely the biggest trend right now.
It’s no longer about pleasing people but it’s about following trends. Those old saying that colourful braids makes one look dirty or “slatty” are now outdated. Colourful braids have always been there however they have come back with a banger.
Colourful braids add more character they bring a sense of individuality. Colourful braids are the new dread locks!!!!
