Beauty Splendour

Apparently, it’s kinda chic to build a life around the things you once only hoped would be possible.

Running Beauty Splendour has never just been about doing hair.

It’s been about creating, teaching, learning, travelling, meeting incredible people, making mistakes, trying again, painting salon walls 😂, building confidence and creating a space where people feel genuinely cared for.

Some chapters have looked glamorous.

Others have looked like me exhausted, covered in paint, answering enquiries at ridiculous hours. 😅

But I wouldn’t trade the journey.

Very grateful for what I’ve built so far and even more excited about what I’m still building.

Which slide feels the most “kinda chic” to you? 😂

POV: You need braids that can handle the pool, dinner plans and life after the flight home. ✈️

For Ava, we chose bra-length box braids in a custom blend of colours 4, 8 and 30, finished with curled ends for a softer look. 🤎

She wanted something beautiful, easy to manage while travelling and practical enough for swimming without spending her holiday worrying about her hair.

Because the right holiday braids shouldn’t only look good in the airport selfie.

They should work with your hair, your plans and your lifestyle, both while you’re away and after you return home.

And this colour blend on Ava? Absolutely stunning.

Planning a holiday at any time of year and unsure which braid style, length or colour would suit you?

Getting your hair braided is only the beginning.

A beautiful set of braids can reduce daily styling and give your natural hair a break but “protective style” doesn’t automatically mean your hair is protected.

What you do while wearing your braids matters too.

Your natural hair still needs moisture.

Your scalp still needs care.

Your edges still need protecting.

And knowing when to remove your braids is just as important as choosing the style in the first place.

One of the biggest things I try to teach my clients at Beauty Splendour is that healthy braiding is about more than how the finished style looks.

It’s also about:

appropriate extension weight

comfortable tension

your hair density and condition

your scalp and hairline

good aftercare

removing the style at the right time

Because I don’t want your braids to simply look beautiful on day one.

I want the hair underneath them to still be healthy when they come out.

Save this carousel before your next braid appointment and send it to someone who thinks braids mean they can forget about their hair for 8 weeks. 😂

If you’re unsure which braid style, size, length or weight would suit your hair,

DM “BRAIDS” or book a consultation through the link in my bio.

That was exactly what Ava needed this time.

We went for bra-length box braids in a custom blend of colour 4, 8 and 30, then curled the ends to give the finished look something a little softer and different.

Ava wanted a style that would be easy to manage while she’s away, practical for swimming, and still look beautiful when she heads back to high school afterwards.

And this is why I always think beyond the inspiration photo.
The right braid style should work with your hair, your plans and your lifestyle, not just look good on day one.

The finished colour blend was absolutely gorgeous on her. 😍

This was Shona’s third visit to Beauty Splendour, and honestly, every colour combination she chooses suits her beautifully.

This time, her daughter Jacqueline selected a gorgeous blend of burgundy, silver and dark grey and the colours came together perfectly.

We finished the look with medium box braids at butt length, giving Shona a bold yet elegant style that felt completely her. She was in love with the final result, and so was I!

Would you trust your daughter to choose your next braid colours? Let me know below. 👇🏾

Mia came in wanting a change for a wedding.

Something soft.
Something elegant.
Something effortless.

But more than that, she wanted to feel confident trusting someone with her hair and I do not take that lightly.

We went for knotless braids with soft boho curls using curly human hair, and the result was everything.

Lightweight.

Romantic.

Comfortable.

And perfect for showing up beautifully as a wedding guest.

Because the right protective style should never feel like a risk.

It should feel considered.

It should feel safe.

It should feel like you are being looked after properly.

And Mia was not disappointed!

If you’ve been wanting braids but you’re nervous about trusting someone with your hair, DM “BRAIDS” and let’s talk through the right style for you.

Would you try boho knotless braids for a special occasion?

Comment YES if you would.
