Cornrows are definitely the style to be rocking in summer 2016 and we almost can’t even keep up with all the celebs embracing and showcasing them hard. From the red carpet to just hanging out, this #blackgirlmagic style has been paired with color, braiding hair and even Bantu Knots. The newest beauty to share in this classic summertime hairstyle is Laila Ali. She’s been in our hearts with the recent passing of her larger–than-life father, Mohammed Ali, and it is good to see her smile and enjoy life and family. Laila Ali shared some personal pics on Instagram of her new do and family time.


Laila opted for the classic cornrow style with several rows that go flush to the back and down her back, and she’s looking happy and beautiful. Neat parts and expertly done, her hair is looking oh so good, and just as much a part of summer as her activities. She captions the fun selfie, “Just sitting in the front yard….taking selfies and sipping on iced ginger tea…acting like I don’t have any business to take care of!! 


She shares another selfie but adds her little mama in the pic as she rides in her big truck bumping Drake!


Braids cascading down her back and happiness on her face, she’s sharing the love and free-spirit of summer. Loving the look and those cornrows are looking good, Laila!

 

Love hanging with my lil mamma!! This is the 3rd time today she asked me to come outside and watch her ride in her truck. It's about 95 degrees. She's bumping Drake on the radio too. Lol!
