I like Mason’s (“67 guy”) ice cream hairstyle/haircut. I thought that was called Wings but ice cream hair was new to me
Maybe a little more understated/less flare-outey but thr general form I am envious of
I actually tried the braids when I grew my hair out recently. It looked so cool for the first few days but there’s a whole new set of hair care issues that you need to worry about…like you can’t get it wet! I had no idea how to care for my braids and had to take it out after about 10 days.
If I could afford to have the braids professionally redone weekly then I would have kept it but each braiding session was 50 bucks from a professional braider.
Alternatively if you have a partner who likes braiding hair then…maybe?
So how we do it in my neighborhood is pay moms and grandmoms who are good at it to do it, rather than a salon. But honestly, I’m in a small rural area and that’s about what 19th the neighbors will charge for shoulder length hair.
That said, there are braiding tools on AliExpress that can make it faster and easier for you.
