Banshee's Battlements

Excited to see everyone at the glow party tonight! We’ll have black light reactive braids, hair accessories, and earrings for sale!

We had a great time at St. Elmo’s Witching Hour Market! Thanks to everyone who came out.

So excited to be vending at a local Austin market tomorrow! We’ll have many old favorites and some new products we’re excited to debut ✨

We've spent the past two months of rainy Texas weather taking a step back and prepping backstock for upcoming shows... ✨🖤✨ The wait is over! This summer brings several new products and TONS of new color blends to stock the armory! ⚔

Brutus, our shop guardian, was feeling fabulous wearing my extra-long braids this past weekend! 😂 Should I make him a custom pair?

This is a shout-out and thank you to my amazing Banshee's Battlements crew 🖤 I couldn't do this without you! 💋

What goes into custom braids from Banshee's Battlements?

This is a bespoke pair of braids made for a client to be both hair accessories and spiritual tools for her magic. This was a custom color blend to match the client's hair color as closely as possible. When she wears these, often people will ask how she grew her hair so quickly, not realizing they're synthetic!

These braids celebrate balances within our world, with hand-selected beads from a local bead shop here in Austin. Silver to gold, dark to light, sea to stone--where each bead on the right braid has a matching opposite on the left braid.

And the best part about our braids: they're reusable, easy to install and remove, and will last for years.

Reduce, Reuse, Re-enchant ✨

Our Mini-Falls are one of our clients' favorite finds when they come into the armory! They're simple, versatile, and such an easy accessory to add that extra bit of armor to any day. We're excited to increase our color variations for our Mini-Falls soon! Stay tuned for release updates ✨

What's a Wisdom Loc?

This is a single, intentional braid or loc often representing a personal or spiritual journey. These are one of my favorite services to offer because of the rich stories they often represent.

The client featured in the first picture wanted to get a single braid installed to support his young daughter, who just had her first set of braids installed and is learning how to care for them.

For the client in the remaining pictures, this loc represented the strength to choose her own path. Four was a number she trusted, and the natural gemstone at the root of the braid offered protection and safety.

I feel truly honored when clients entrust me with such personal journeys and love weaving them into a physical symbol that can stay with them as they continue on their path.
