Those braided styles are so cute, especially the one Alicia is rocking. I may try out a few of them, one of these days *lol*.
I was trying to copy Nia Long's look when I did this.
That is pretty.

Latoya you look absolutely beautiful. :notworthy
I've always loved big braids. When MaryJ was sporting her braided do and many people hated it, I was the only one doing a dance coz I absolutely adored the do:
I partial to braids. All the updos that really catch my attention and make me stop and stare incorporate some braid or look like a version of a braid:
I don't know what Alicia was wearing during her AMA performance with JayZ but I loved how her hair looked coz it made me think of a flat-twist/braid updo.

I love the big braid as well. I wish I could find someone that rocks them that has thick, natural hair. I don't want to have to blow my hair out to do it

Thanks for sharing

Yes, these styles are very beautiful and they are the perfect protective style for me.
My usual protective style (old pic) is below. I want to add more hair to make the braids fuller.
I'm trying to recreate it with synthetic hair, but I haven't been successful on my own.
These are pretty. I need to try so big braids.
^^Ceebee, that's been the only way I've figured out to protective style my braids too.
I will be so happy once I master the technique for these braids!

I feel ya; since I'm going home for Thanksgiving I thought about asking a relative to try it out on me cuz my hair is currently pressed.
But I don't know anyone close to me who I could ask to try it out on my usual (natural) hair....

I had my mom braid my hair like this on the weekend...still rocking it.
ceebee3, it looks to me as if you've already mastered it!
Very pretty
Was it really difficult to braid around the back of your head like that?
Thank you!
I meant that I wanted to be a master at adding the synthetic hair for a fuller look. The style is just two braids on the side of my head, they don't go around. It was simple to do.
The pic below is another angle.

This is so beautiful and classic, I want to try it!
Ceebee, I don't think you need to make it any fuller. It look purrty.
BTW, I seem to recall an updo where the additional hair was braided before being pinned on. IIRC, the end result was sort of like Angela's do here:
