The meaning of 15-foot braiding of Kim Kardashian

Braiding was hugely popular but largely among Black women, but when the beauty icon Kim Kardashian made appearances wearing braided hairstyles often, many influencers started copying her styles. Fashion retail websites started to list braiding extensions, and many braiding technique videos are flooding YouTube covering various styles including Kim Kardashian’s hairdos. Although 15-foot long braiding might not be practical to wear in a daily life, the cover inspired many by encapsulating the beauty of long braid. Now, braiding hair is becoming a familiar item among White women, too.

Sleek edge is a key point

The final touch of a style is always at taming the edge. When you wear a long braided ponytail style, the highlight goes to the neatly combed over hair for a clean look. You can edge the baby hair if desired, and you can also create various moods using different parting, colors, and hair accessories.
