Let the record show that Teyonah Parris is seriously #HairGoals. The actress, who’s known for her super feminine and sophisticated style, has been rocking waist-grazing box braids with a purple peek-a-boo highlight. Yesterday at the season 3 screening of Survivor’s Remorse, Parris, whose’s currently sporting box braids, wore an elegant jumbo side braid embellished with small white florets, and we are seriously obsessed. 

We love that Parris constantly revamps her style and gives us new inspo for styling our own tresses and protective styles. Most Black women choose to braid their hair in the summer time, but bulky box braids can sometimes be hard to accessorize with headbands and clips. Flowers, whether fresh or silk are an easy way to dress up a protective style with ease; not to mention the end result is totally Insta-worthy.
