Kitti Mudele's Braid Beauty by Tatiana and Karol for Vogue Poland July/August 2024

Braids are back, baby. Just like Rihanna and Beyoncé going Scandi blond saw no accusations of cultural appropriation from the race-based, global digital chorus, all is calm in the world of braids.

Exactly who ‘owns’ braids? Mum’s the word, so AOC’s search is on for the origin of braids.

What was initially a simple beauty post from the July/August 2024 issue of Vogue Poland [IG] revealed itself to be a BFD. And we stumbled into it, when Kim Kardashian revealed her own braided ‘do’ and once-again platinum hair when we asked Apple News if braids are a new global-warming summer choice?
