What Are Goddess Braids?
These look like oversized cornrows. They are braided close to the scalp either on natural hair or with the use of extensions. The designs of hairstyles vary. It can be a crown braid updo, Mohawk braid and a low braided bun or a half up hairstyle with a headband braid, to name a few. More ideas with pictures can be found below.

One of the most beautiful things about ethnic goddess braid hair is the artwork that goes into the various styles. When it comes to a goddess-themed look, parting your hair into a shapely design will bring a whole new dimension to the style. This one is curved into a “u” shape.
#2: Big Side Goddess Braid
This goddess-inspired style requires a thick braid that thins out as it reaches the bottom of the hair. If you have highlights in your hair, it will look especially lovely. Are you just learning how to do this type of braids? This is a good place to start.

#3: Long Goddess Braids
The laid edges of baby-fine hair are a stylish accent for an asymmetrical braided hairstyle. The angled braids swirl around the head towards one side and front, framing the face. Wrapping just one or two of the thickest braids with some gold or copper wire is an elegant touch that really draws attention to the length.

Whoever invented Goddess braids hairstyles could have never imagined such a creative variation. Laid edges set off the winding iridescent braids that offer a look of a regal Goddess crown. The circular pattern curves around the scalp, ending full force in shiny, deep-purple braids that are long enough to throw over your shoulder like a scarf!
