Amazing Ombre Braids Like You've Never Seen Them Before

Ombre Braids Like You’ve Never Seen Them Before
By Jennifer Ford · Updated October 23, 2020

Kankelon braiding hair has a brand new look. It’s now offered in ombre tones including gradual blends of pink, purple, and blue–making it easier than ever to channel your inner unicorn. Instead of defaulting to natural colored hair extensions, upgrade your braids this summer with a bold new hue.
