While vacationing in Cape Cod Solange (aka one of our favorite naturalistas!) snapped photos of herself rocking butt-length braids while enjoying the sun and sea. It isn’t necessarily new, Solange has rocked super long braids before but she typically ties them into a topknot/bun. What do you think of the long, loose braids. Would you rock them?
More pictures below…
What is this girl famous for besides being Beyonce’s no talented sister who tried to be snobbish and insult the Fox 5 News lovely anchor lady, Monica Jackson, who is a lady. The snob got a huge backlash from us Las Vegans and we don’t want her back. Why should we, she has nothing going for her except her famous sister and she certainly isn’t pretty like Beyonce.
U have no idea wat u are talkking about she is really talented,and imagine u comparing her 2 dat classless fool,solange is way beta and she has a gr8 style,smH
i love these braids i have them right now and plus i have shell on mines super cute
i am a braider, and i have rocked the tailbone length braids often…my style finesse is that i hurt NO ONE, and i can judge accurately how much hair to use so NO ONE ever comes to me with a complaint of worn edges, weight or hair loss trauma.
i am very aware of the ALOPECIA problem women have with over tight or traumatized braiding.
a lot of women don’t know real braid care for their hair.
i recommend, if the braider was good, washing the scalp, braids and all, once every week and a half.
you do not need conditioners when the hair is up, this only makes the style more prone to sebum retention, or that greasy scalp build up.
after the last rinse, hold your head back and pour a solution of glycerin, tea tree oil, and 3 tablespoons of Listerine, with a 1/4 cup of water, in a squeeze bottle, through your scalp.
do this while you are still in the tub or shower.
no need to rinse.
wrap a towel around your hair and tuck it up turban style, for half an hour.
to soak up most of the moisture of your hair.
if you like…you may blow dry the braids for a bit for more dryness.
sleep in a silk head wrap scarf, or make one of your own from an old silk pillow slip.
NEVER pull your braids back so tightly your eyes slant, or your eyebrow strain.
let the braids hang down naturally, the majority of it over the front of the shoulders…two braids from the front top of each side is enough to bring around back restraining the whole hair do, and is a very feminine look.
use your own discretion if you want to tie back more.
everyone who has followed my instructions ACCURATELY has grown her hair.
my first desperate client was a woman who looked like rats ate the sides and back of her hair off.
I trimmed the trauma, and just massaged castor oil and Listerine in those spots, then i cornrowed the rest of her hair.
I redid her hair only every 3 months.
with the above care instructions.i have been doing her braided style for 30 years now, seriously.
my bald headed friend now has shoulder length natural hair, no rat eaten patches, and still gets her hair braided by me every 3 months.
the right kind of braids and braiders GROW your hair, when they know what they are doing.
extentions protect the natural hair when applied correctly.
I rock the solange braid all the time, but only when i have time to do it myself.
I don’t trust many people in MY LONG HAIR since my grandmother passed.
you should be able to talk to your braider and the two of you should be able to take care of your hair.
take care all

I would love for you to braid my hair. Do you have a website or a way that I can contact you? I am dealing with alopecia. I need help. The woman who used to braid my hair is no longer in the hair business. :(
She’s completely right! Where can we find you?! You seem to really care about hair which is rare to find in a braider . If it not in the DC area, can u recommend someone in this area?

I love Solange, I think she’s great….However, I’m in my 30′s and I would not rock long braids because I would instantly look 25 again, and have all these youngsters trying to holla at me….My daughter on the other hand, actually is wearing long braids now and she is 16yrs old. everyone loves them on her.
I think that the braids are very stylish and are becoming more popular everywhere some of your kids or grand kids may want some just because these famous artist have them
I not only rock pale blonde and red( #33) braids to My butt, I, Also rock top of the butt weaves!!! My philosophy is this: If it’s gonna be fake, it’s gonna be long!!!! Peace!!! And Rock them looong braids Solangel!!!!
I wore braids this long when I was in the Bahamas when I was six haha. People were assuming it was my hair, I was like “nnnooooo!” my hair was long but not that long! You tend to sit on braids like this a lot… but they were fun. The next time I got braids though I got them without extensions at all! I just didn’t want to sit on my hair anymore! Or dip them in the porcelain throne which happened once…..
