Solange Knowles on June 24, 2011 arriving for her 25th birthday celebration at Lavo Nightclub at the Palazzo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Solange’s braids looked so fun for the event. Her long black braids were gathered up into an off-center ponytail on top of her head so that her long braids hung over her right shoulder. A strand of braids was wound around the base of her ponytail to cover up the hair band. We love this black braided hairstyle on her!

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.
