How would you describe this look?
This look is definitely your go to if you want to try color but afraid to go all out.
My favorite thing about this style is that it says “I’m conservative but I like to party”, with the pop of pink saying it all!
Any advice for someone considering it?
Go for it. Be sure to have a professional like me to install. Be sure to get treatment before and after and use Influance hair care products like rosemary stimulating spray, organic complex and coconut milk leave-in conditioner to maintain the scalp.
In addition, to keep it up and out of the way during resting hours simply use a large rubber band to put in a ponytail and tie a scarf and voila!

Any advice for someone considering it?
Find yourself a stylist that understands your hair type. Have a consultation. Just like you would for a color, hair extensions, or hair cut. Do have a consultation prior to your braiding.
Don’t be scared to ask questions before going ahead as it is important for someone to understand the tension and thickness to use on different hair textures. The material to use on your hair type etc. Ask for what options are available braids come in some many different methods from
Normal braids, crochet, twists, and wigs or braided piece options are endless. Also, length and sizes are endless too.
Make sure you do a treatment before your braiding and during I highly recommend Olaplex. This range works for all hair types. Now with Olaplex 4 shampoo and 5 conditioner available, this is yours to go for when wearing braids. Your hair still needs moisturizing and conditioning while in braids! So find a brand that will do this for your hair.
Braids are diverse, fun, protect your hair and suits so many lifestyles, so go for a style and colors that suit your personality, work environment, and lifestyle. Most of all, have fun wearing them. After all, braids have a way of bringing beautiful compliments from so many people your way.

One tip is that you should always use synthetic braiding hair when braiding your natural hair into a pattern so that the style stays nice and tight.

No products was used for this style, but if your hair tends to be dry, you may want to apply a light oil such as coconut oil to the crochet braids.
What type of client would you recommend this look for?
I believe any client can wear this style, but it is usually seen on Naturalistas!
