Lemonade braids, also known as, side braids, have been a popular braided hairstyle for a while now. You may recently know them from when Beyonce wore the iconic look in her 2016 album titled Lemonade. With a lemonade braid, your hair is typically parted to the side and cornrowed to one side of your head until you braids hang free. The look is stunning and perfect for someone looking to try a new braided style.
