Over the years, Rihanna has solidified herself as an icon. Here are some of her most memorable braided styles over the years.
Growing up in Nigeria, I remember Rihanna being a big inspiration for hairstyles. You could go to a hair stylist in the market and find girls saying they wanted to do “Rihanna,” the pixie cut Rih was known for in the early 2000s. Here are some of her most outstanding braid styles over the years.
