For black girls, it’s easy to get new braids right before summer. The perfect solution to protect her hair during the holidays and avoid daily styling. Rocking waist-length box braids on a tropical vacation sounds like a major vibe, but chances are you’ll have to deal with hot, heavy hair situations. For those looking for a similar hairstyle without the extreme length, check out the viral “braid bald head” trend on TikTok. This style was created by Los Angeles-based braider Montelia She Chisholm, aka Tookey Did She It, who posted a detailed video of her weaving intricate designs onto her clients’ heads.
In the post, Chisholm dubbed the style “braid bald head” and described it as consisting of one continuous braid that extends all the way around the head. To spice up her hairstyles, she adds an artistic and creative flair by etching flower and heart patterns into her clients’ hair.
In the video above, she meticulously creates and connects four braided flower designs without adding hair extensions or starting a new braid for each flower. This is a miraculous feat. The post has now been viewed millions of times, with commenters praising the stylist’s creativity and asking her to sit in her chair next.
Girls with short to medium length hair, or anyone looking to take a break from XXL box braids, can book a ‘braid bald head’ appointment on Chisholm’s website.
