Goddess braids are a beautiful hairstyle that is seen in the African American community. With goddess braids you essentially get a thicker version of a cornrow that is still braided close to the scalp but are bigger in size and raised higher then a cornrow. The style is great because you can do so much with the look. You can easily turn your look from gym hair to date night easily and your hair will still look stunning.
