4. Short Bob

Seeking a hairstyle that’s simple but classy? Opt for a short bob featuring straight Poetic Justice style braids. Cap a few ends with white or clear beads, or play with a brighter color like pink or blue.

5. Ponytail with Side Bangs

By pulling out several of your braids near the hairline, you can create a ‘side bang’ to pair with a high ponytail. These braids also feature a beautiful soft wave. 

6. Blonde with Loose Ends

Platinum or a very light blonde is a beautiful shade on women with a dark skin tone. We love the way the color looks on extra long braids with loose wavy ends.

7. High Half Pony

In just minutes you can create this effortlessly stylish high half ponytail with your Poetic Justice braids. The height is helped with a few braids that wrap around the base, giving the look lots of attitude.

8. Black and Red

Electric red and black work together on these long braids to make one edgy hairstyle. Create a braid crown with half your hair for a soft look. You can also add a little bling with gold hair cuffs.

9. Jumbo Bun

From the jumbo bun shape at the front of the head seen above to the mix of light brown and dark purple, these Poetic Justice braids are packed with detail. This look would be perfect for formal occasions, especially if you tuck in a few shiny hair clips.

10. Ombre Braids

To get the length you’re coveting in a braid hairstyle, opt for extensions. Choose them in a feminine ombre like purple and pink for a flirty vibe, leaving ends curly.

11. Blonde Highlights

A low ponytail might be a traditional look, but it’s the blonde highlights on black braids that separate the look from others. To give the look more texture, leave half the hair unbraided.

12. Yellow and White

If you’re the type of lady who loves bright, unusual colors, you’ll appreciate these sunshine yellow and white Poetic Justice braids. Try a half updo to really show off the colors.
