'Go There' Wednesdays: Jada's Braided Upsweep

At ESSENCE's Third Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon last week, everyone looked good (and this is not a tooting-our-own-horn moment, check out pictures from the event!). But when Jada Pinkett Smith swanned in, all eyes were immediately on her glorious, Greek goddess hairdo. At once Big Night Out fancy and shopping-with-the-girls cute, this curly upsweep was a definite attention-getter. The best part? Despite looking impossibly complicated, it's actually super-easy to pull off. To do: Create a deep side part, and then cornrow the front section from the part to your ear.
