Huate & Hair: Braids Can Be Formal

Check out Jada Pinkett Smith at this year's Oscars...

I like the fact that she didn't take out her braids for the one-night affair. Although this is the biggest night in Hollywood, she chose not to succumb to the pressure to have a perfectly coiffed do and decided to make a classy hairstyle with her braids. From a distance you cannot really tell they are braids, it looks likes she's wearing a classic low ponytail. The simplicity of the do minimizes the appearance of the braids.

So there is no need to take out braids for a formal function, braids can be formal!
