Oh, honey, you wanna talk about blonde braids? My granddaughter, she’s got hair the color of corn silk, and she loves to braid it up. Makes her look like a little angel, I swear. These days, all the young folks are into these fancy blonde braids. They’re everywhere, I tell ya!

Now, when I was a girl, we just did plain old braids. Two down the back, maybe one if you was feeling fancy. But these young’uns, they got all sorts of styles. They call them different names. Hard to keep up, I tell ya. Like that one, they call it “Boho.” Sounds like a hobo, if you ask me! But it’s real pretty, I gotta admit. These blonde boho braids, they are loose, like you just woke up and didn’t care none. But they make it look good, somehow.
And then there’s another one, they call it the “Milkmaid.” Makes me think of old Bessie out in the field. But it ain’t like milking a cow, no sir. It’s all wrapped around your head, like a crown or somethin’. They do it with blonde braids, and it looks real fancy. Some of ’em let little pieces hang down, like they’re too lazy to finish it. But it’s a style, I guess. These kids, they think of everything.
I seen one the other day, they called it a “four-strand” braid. Now, how they do that, I don’t know. My fingers ain’t that nimble anymore. But these blonde braids, done up in four strands, they sure are somethin’ to look at. Makes it look thick, like a rope almost. I bet it takes forever to do, though.
- You see them girls with them tight braids, two on each side?
- They call them “Boxer” braids.
- I don’t know why, ’cause they ain’t got nothin’ to do with boxing, far as I can tell.
- But they look sharp, I gotta give ’em that.
- Especially with that blonde hair, it really stands out.
Some of these girls, they got blonde braids so long, they reach down to their… well, you know. And they’re white as snow, almost. They call it “icy” blonde, I hear. Takes a brave soul to wear it like that, I reckon. But you can do all sorts of things with it. Wear it down, tie it up, whatever you want. Those long blonde braids, they give you options, that’s for sure.
Now, these “box braids,” that’s another thing altogether. They put these little sections of hair, and they braid ’em all up. And they can do it with blonde hair, too. It’s like, you can change your hair color without really changing it, you see? They call it “semi-permanent,” whatever that means. But if you wanna try being blonde, these blonde box braids are a good way to do it, I guess. If you like them, you can keep them. If not, you just take them out. There are many different blonde colors, you know. You can pick the one that looks good on you.
My granddaughter, she showed me pictures on her phone. She’s always on that thing. So many different kinds of blonde braids. Big ones, little ones, all twisted and turned. It’s a whole world of braids out there, I tell ya. They even have classes, she says, to teach you how to do these things. Imagine that! A class for braiding hair!
I remember when my mama used to braid my hair. She’d pull it so tight, my eyes would water. But she’d always do a good job. We didn’t have all these fancy styles back then. Just plain old braids. But they kept our hair neat, and that’s what mattered. These days, they like to be fancy. And that’s okay, I guess. It don’t hurt nobody to look pretty, does it? Especially if you get them pretty blonde braids all fixed up. You young girls, you go on and do your braids. Just don’t forget how to do the plain old ones, too. You never know when they might come in handy.
These blonde braids, they sure are popular. I see ’em everywhere. On the TV, in the magazines, even on the old ladies at the grocery store! Well, maybe not the old ladies. But you get my meaning. They’re a big deal, these braids. And if you got that pretty blonde hair, well, you might as well show it off, right? So go on, get yourself some blonde braids. You’ll be the prettiest girl in town, I guarantee it. Just be sure that you choose the right one. After all, there are so many of them. They all look beautiful.
