In the midst of the daily grind, why not infuse your look with a burst of freshness and color?. I have been keeping an eye on the latest braiding trends, and multi-colored extensions are definitely having a moment.
Today I am sharing some vibrant picks to brighten your look (and outlook). Read on to see a collection of braiding hair color ideas that are cute, vibrant, and guaranteed to turn heads.
1. Black – Creamy Ombre Modern Ghana Weaving
For those of us living in warmer climates (or just dreaming of them), Ghana Weaving remains a perennial favorite for black women in West Africa. It’s a protective style that delivers on both comfort and style.
Imagine styling it with packs of colorful extensions; the resulting vibe is undeniably hot.
And just a quick note: if you’re prone to sensitivity, I’d encourage you to check out my tips on soothing an itchy scalp after braiding.
2. Black – Dark Red Ghana Weaving Hairstyle
If you’re looking for something cute that works for absolutely any occasion, this blend of dark wine red and black is a fantastic idea.
Mixing these hues creates a look that is both sweet and stunning.
3. Blue Ombre Feed-in Crossed Chunky Braiding Style
This color and silhouette is a wonderful option for young ladies who prefer their style big and shiny.
The braid is designed in such a way that you can pull it back and transition seamlessly into a secondary style, like a fishtail. It’s a versatile look that stays cute as long as you maintain the strands.
4. One Side Black – Purple Braiding Style
Here is a chic mix of purple and black that feels effortlessly styled.
5. Creamy – Silver Color Box Braid Style
The color of this extension is distinct—I’m not always the best with color names, but I see this as a lovely silver.
This two-tone braid style is incredibly versatile and won’t restrict your wardrobe choices.
6. Dark Red Plus Black Ombre Box Braid
Here is another inspiring, near-natural look that I think you will absolutely love. Using a box braid as the foundation, the dark red ombre extension makes the style feel stunning and attractive.
If you are a black woman who generally prefers to avoid bright, shiny colors, this is a sophisticated alternative to try.
7. Black – Creamy- Silver Color Box Braid Style
The three-color braid is becoming a staple for African American ladies.
To get this look, you’ll need to find 3-6 packs of three-color shade hair extensions (if your stylist doesn’t stock them). Then, simply show your braider this photo.
8. Black – Light Purple with Blonde Cornrow Braid
While there are endless multi-color options available, sometimes you want to try something truly unique.
This three-color shade ombre braid is a sure bet if you’re looking to stand out.
9. Orange Ghana Braid Hairstyle
Next on our list is this cute orange hair color, which you can see right here.
I think orange is such a good option for special occasions—maybe it’s a birthday party, a house party, or a social gathering. It feels festive and fun.
10. Blue and Black Ombre Feed-In Chunky French Braid
When we talk about colorful braids, the blue and black combination simply can’t be ignored.
What I love most is that these colors pair seamlessly with almost every style of braid.
11. Black and Blue Fulani Braid Styles + Bead
The Fulani braid is another protective tribal style that you can elevate with quality extensions and accessories like beads and rings.
12. Purple – Blue Ombre Triangle Box Braid
If a two-color ombre feels a bit too simple, you might want to consider rocking a three-color braid like this black-purple-blue mix.
It’s a fantastic choice when you want something that looks elegant and catches the eye.
13. Black With Red Simple Braid Style
Next up, we have a cute, fiery red micro braid that really makes a statement. You can turn this look into reality by investing a little time and budget with a pro hairstylist.
I find the beauty is even more pronounced with a neat triangle, knotless, or box braid silhouette.
14. Jumbo French Coffee Brown Ombre Braid
In some parts of the world, this is known as the Jumbo French braid or four-line braid.
If you have long curly hair, this is a particularly good protective hairstyle to keep things manageable.
15. Black And Blonde Ombre Fulani Braiding Hairstyle
If you are a teenager or college student, I’d highly recommend this style for a perfect, bold appearance.
The combination of blonde and black gives you that stunning look you’ve been waiting for.
16. Blonde-Purple Ombre Hair Color
These color-mixing braids will elevate your style, placing you firmly among classic ladies with serious vibes.
Often, how much you’re willing to invest in your hair defines just how cute and stunning the result will be.
17. Black – Blue Ombre Lemonades Braiding Style
The purple color flowing on one side provides a smart and neat appearance.
This style works for just about anything, and in some cases, it’s the best alternative if you want to avoid a color that is too sharp or glaring.
18. Two Halves Black And Fire Red Hair Color Idea
You can achieve an outstanding look like this if you have the budget and a professional hairstylist at your disposal.
The size of this hairstyle actually makes the installation process easier and faster.
