Getting fresh set of braids as summer approaches is an obvious choice; it’s an ideal way to protect textured hair during holidays while eliminating the need for daily styling. Although flaunting waist-length box braids on a tropical island sounds appealing, it can also be quite difficult to deal with. For those seeking a stylish alternative, the viral braided bald head trend on TikTok is worth exploring.
The hairstyle was created by Monteria Chisholm, also known as Tookie Did It, a braider based in Los Angeles. She shared a detailed video showcasing how she intricately braided designs and patterns into her client’s hair.
In the post, the stylist calls the style the “braided bald head’ and describes it as a single continuous braid encircling the entire head. To enhance the look, she adds her artistic touch by carving flowers and heart patterns into her client’s hair.
This isn’t your average braided ‘do. If you’re looking for a style that’s drippy and unique, bald braids will win you style points on the ‘Gram and in the streets. Here’s what you need to recreate the look, and the inspiration to give your hairstylist!
