Let's talk about braids! 

Braids are mostly worn by black people, we wear braids like it's our birthright, whether or not it is, we rock braids the best.

But as common as this hairstyle is, not everyone knows how to "rock it". Some just pack them into ponytail or leave it down, like me. 

This style is quick and easy. But I just found out there are like a hundred different ways to pack your braids and I'll love to show you a few.

Before we go into that, there are a few things you should know before opting for braids.

So now you've gone through the options and you want to braid your hair.
