Mercury may not be in retrograde, but it certainly was rising this summer! 🌡️ Check out some of our favorite looks we spotted across the gram.
Spotted at ESSENCE Fest
Karleen Roy – Believe it or not, weaves are still an option in the summer months, and we’re loving this natural-looking install with beach waves, on Karleen Roy who shined on stage at Essence fest.
Akili King – Essence beauty editor, Akili King looked fab with her super-long cornrows with intricate designs, while she took care of business.
Carmen Renee – Move over dancing lady in the red dress 💃🏽and make room for the lady in yellow spotted in NOLA–Carmen Rose.
Seen Jammin’ Out to Cowboy Carter
Abby Phillip – CNN’s Abby Phillip understood the assignment with her voluminous Boho Box Braids at the Vegas stop of the Cowboy Carter tour. Gorgeous! 😍
Shauna Beni-Hayes – We couldn’t have said it better…Mrs. Cowboy Haynes stepped out to see Mrs. Carter, with two cornrows and a trusty fan.
Taryn Ocasio – We almost had to do a double take with this platinum blonde, Cowboy-carter inspired look on Taryn Ocasio.
Caught Doing the #HighSchoolChallenge
Ciara – See! Another blonde wig/weave look made it in our roundup, thanks to Ciara doing the #HighSChoolChallenge. The Internet remains undefeated with these challenges 😅
Vibing In Vacation Braids
Mara Campo – Always an endless source of inspo, our fave Mara wanted to beat the 100 degree temps on her trip to the desert, so she opted for a no-fuss braided ponytail.
Amanda Wright – Love these passion twists on Amanda Wright which were brought to life with a little help from our friends at ECO Style.
