Browsin' around for your next protective style? Take this as your sign to ask your braider for Ghana braids.

(And yes, that is the perfect amount of time to watch your fav rom-com, or exactly two episodes of Succession).
Ghana braids are obvs very similar to cornrows, but thanks to the added braiding hair, you can really play up and customize the shape, thickness, and colors (!) to match your vibes.
