Cornrows // Hairspiration

So a while ago I stumbled across a couple of pictures of Ciara from a few years ago when she wore cornrows to an event. I also came across some candid shots of Jada Pinkett Smith, Kelly Rowland and (of course) Alicia Keys and their hairstyles instantly reminded me of primary school as cornrows were pretty much my staple hairstyle back then. Buuuut then I grew up and thought I was too cool for them and wanted to get a relaxer or do single braids haha (also, I guess I just associate cornrows with kids).  I think braids in general, whether they are french braids, fishtail braids or single plaits/braids, are super lovely on any type of hair so I searched the #cornrows hashtag on instagram & tumblr and sort of convinced myself to try out this hairstyle again and see how it looks on my 20 something year old face.

Currently, I am loving:

You know when something is just too perfect it makes you feel sick? Like sick in a good way? And you just think why? How? Yeah, that's the reaction I had when I saw the two video below -
