Beautiful Box Braids is Back!

Hi there beautiful people! Many of you have been wondering where I’ve been. Did I suddenly drop off of the face of the earth? Have I been captured by aliens, dropped off on a deserted island, and left to die a horrible and detestable death? I say no, no, a thousand times no!

All jokes aside, I’ve been taking a much needed hiatus to work on a variety of different projects so that I can bring back a wealth of information to my readership.

Welcome to Beautiful Box Braids

I’m pleased to begin blogging about the natural hair experience on Beautiful Box Braids‘ website. My name is Renée and I love box braids. They’re classy, exotic, attractive and practical.

Think about how many celebrities you see wearing box braids. Everybody remembers Janet Jackson’s box braids in Poetic Justice. Remember R&B Superstar Brandy’s box braids? Think about the people you see up and down the streets every day wearing box braids. They all look glamorous.

Get ready to read all about braid styles, natural hair care, product reviews, experiences, and—of course—box braids. I’d love to have your feedback and conversation on the blog posts, so read and comment liberally. I read all of my comments and will reply back. Also, feel free to Pin me on Pinterest, share me on Facebook, and tweet me on Twitter. WordPress users can follow my blog by clicking the “follow” button and everyone else can subscribe by email.
