Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys in September of 2008 at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival for "Golf Rocks" at the Magna Golf Club. This is such an amazing braided hairstyle. She looks stunning in this unique braid style. The thick braid starts out at the top of her forehead and stretches the length of the top of her head until it's neatly worked into a long ponytail. The sides are very sleek. What a great hair braiding style.

Jada Pinkett Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith in December of 2008 arriving at "The Day the Earth Stood Still" New York movie premiere. She always looks amazing. We're always eager to see what hairstyle she will debut. For this occasion she chose braids. This is a great African American hair braiding style. She wore the braids back in a bun at the base of her neck. This is a very sophisticated hair braiding style.
