Every now and then a hairstyle comes along that gets us excited. It could be in the form of Chimamanda’s versatile twists & buns, or Adesua Wellington’s enviable mane. But there’s always one! Today, it’s Mimi Onalaja’s braided hair.
Braided hairstyles are so versatile! They allow us to express ourselves without so much as saying a word. And for the women who believe a little goes a long way, this look will be just right for you.
TV presenter and fashion girl, Mimi Onalaja, attended Lagos Fashion Week 2018 looking amazing! She hit the venue in a mesh dress from Odio Mimonet that was chic in every way. But that wasn’t what got our attention. Mimi’s feed-in braids are to die for. The braids are simple, easy and perfect for a classy look. We definitely want to give it a whirl. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

To achieve this braided hairstyle, you’ll need a few things;
- Hair gel (You can use one you’re comfortable with. However, we’d suggest the Creme of Nature Perfect Edges hair gel)
- A beard brush or an old toothbrush
- A rat tail comb
- Hair attachments that are the same colour as your hair
- Black hair bands
