5 Times Celebs Got Braids And We Felt For Whoever Was Taking Them Out

Braids. A wonderful, protective style but here are 5 times these stars has us asking why.

1. Beyoncé

It's true! Queen Bey can do next to no wrong. With this somewhat accessible pick & drop hairstyle, Beyonce saved the unbraider so much time. An old African proverb reads, why go the full mile when you can part way? If these had been braided down to the ends, I don't think Bey would have been smiling as brightly on take-down day.

2. Solange

"Don't touch my hair" she sings. Don't worry Solange, you can take those braids out all by yourself. The Knowles sisters clearly love a good protective style but I imagine they'd prefer if you didn't cut the braid somewhere in the middle and that you just unbraid fully from the bottom to top. To Solange's unlucky unbraider "Yooooou've got the right, to be mad".

3. Zoë Kravitz

Yo mama's braids are so tiny, you'd need toothpicks to undo them. This is no joke (and Zoe Kravitz probably isn't your mum but still). I don't know if feel worse for whoever put them in or who's taking them out. Let's hope the unbraider's patience isn't tiny as these braids.

4. Gabrielle Union

Tiny and long! How can such a good look be a crime? A full head of tiny plaits are deceivingly heavy so props to Gabrielle for keeping her head up. @unluckyunbraider, You Got Served!

5. Keke Palmer

While most teens watched Keke and her crew double-dutch 'Jump In' and wondered how they did it, I was wondering who on earth was taking out those braids. A practical, protective for a game like double-dutch but a practical joke for the unbraiding victim.
