lemonade braids

Side-swept protective style

Lemonade braids are cornrows styled to sweep uniformly to one side, typically from left to right across the head.

The style gained wide popularity after Beyoncé wore it in her 2016 visual album *Lemonade*, though the technique itself predates the album.

The braids may hang loose or be gathered: She got lemonade braids for vacation.
