What Are Lemonade Braids?
Lemonade braids are named after Beyonce’s “Lemonade album” in which she frequently rocked a side cornrow style. They are a sort of a braid “combo-deal”. You got a little bit of cornrow, mixed in with some Fulani style, a dash of Goddess braids, and a whole lot of laid edges and feed-ins. Almost anything goes for lemonade braids, but there is one sacred Lemonade Law that probably shouldn’t be broken: tresses must be braided towards the side. Check the best ideas below!
#1: Lemon Tinted Lemonade Braids
Lemon-yellow blonde braids rock this classic style. Parted on the side and sporting tiny gold-toned hair cuffs, the sun-kissed hair color works nicely to bring out the gold hues in your skin tone. A single teeny-weeny braid with shells and beads is a stylish touch.

#2: Cherry-Lemonade Braids
Lemonade braids hairstyles that use bold and vibrant colors are the favorites of women who are ready to take the trend to the next level. We like the name “Lemonade with a Cherry Twist” because the deep red color makes the braids look sweet and candylike — yummy enough to gobble up!
