Lemonade Braids
Braids named after a popular summer beverage? What's the deal with that? We believe we know! Lemonade braids are refreshing and tasty, tart and sweet, and quenching the thirst of thousands of women who are "putting a ring" on the look, just like their "bigger than life" spokes-icon, Beyonce.
What Exactly Are Lemonade Braids?
Lemonade braids are named after Beyonce's "Lemonade album," in which she wore a side cornrow style frequently. They're like a braid "combo-deal." You've got a little cornrow, a little Fulani style, a little Goddess braids, and a lot of laid edges and feed-ins. Almost anything can be done with lemonade braids, but there is one sacred Lemonade Law that should not be broken: tresses must be braided to the side. Check out the best ideas down below!
#1: Lemonade Braids with a Lemon Tint
This classic look is rocked by lemon-yellow blonde braids. The sun-kissed hair color works well to bring out the gold hues in your skin tone when parted on the side and styled with tiny gold-toned hair cuffs. A single teeny-weeny braid of shells and beads adds a fashionable touch.

#2: Braids with Cherry-Lemonade
Lemonade braids hairstyles with bold and vibrant colors are popular among women who want to take the trend to the next level. The name "Lemonade with a Cherry Twist" appeals to us because the deep red color makes the braids appear sweet and candy-like — delicious enough to eat!

#7: Patterned Side Braids on the Full Scalp
The multitude of braids twisting and turning in every direction appear to have left no part of the scalp untouched. Only a few of the many braids are adorned with pewter-tone metal hair clips, and two unexpected over-the-ear tresses balance out the hairstyle on both sides.

#8: Ponytail Topknot Braids
A lemonade braids ponytail, done here in a deep metallic purple, is an interesting twist on the standard form side-swept style. Tiny, thin braids are interspersed with thick, curvy braids that feed into a whimsical topknot with long, shiny braids sprouting from the bun's center.

#9: Beaded Braids and Wraps
The super-long extensions on these wine-colored Beyonce lemonade braids are complemented by white hair string on a few of the braids. Except for two skinny braids, everything is swept to one side, leaving two plaited braids adorned with wooden beads and a single shell to cascade forward over the other ear.

The individual braid width and the curly laid edges of this goddess-braid inspired lemonade style are both THICK. We think it looks best on younger girls or teenagers because it's simple to maintain and quick to put on and take off.

Braids, Thick and Thin
Can't decide whether to make your lemonade braids thick or thin? There's no need if you choose a hairstyle that has it all. One medium-sized braid serves as a part line, dividing the scalp into two sections. A chunky braid is followed by a skinny braid, and they all look amazing with electric-pink extensions.

Braids with a Golden Swirl of Lemonade, No. 13
Lemonade braids are enhanced beautifully when they are woven into golden extensions. The braid pattern is elegant and sophisticated, curving gently around the crown of the head (and relatively simple to apply!). The finishing touches are braided cuffs and laid edges.

#15: Updo with Thin Lemonade Braids
High ponytails are a hot option if you live or work in hot climates or stressful environments; having your hair in an updo always keeps you cool. If you add some wooden or ivory beads to the ends, you can really dress up the ebony braid color.
Thin Lemonade Braids are ideal for an updo.

Geometric Blonde Cornrows #16
Anyone who claims that cornrows must always be done from front to back has obviously never seen this inventive pattern. Small metallic blonde braids are strategically placed to form a geometric spiral around the scalp. You don't really need any other jewelry or hair accessories because the hair color has it all!
Conclusion: Lemonade Braids
If you're tired of all the lemonade braids styles that end with a sweep to one side of the head, perhaps you'd prefer a hairstyle with braids cascading down on both sides. It's a traditional spin on a new trendy favorite, with a well-defined side part and plentiful, thin cornrow braids.
