*Fresh Stitch Braids & Sunshine Energy*

This stitch braid set came out clean and snatched! My light-skinned client came through with such calm and classy energy. She had her eyes closed for most of the process, just vibing with the music and letting me do my thing. The design we went for was neat, sleek, and tightly defined—the kind of stitch braid that speaks for itself before she even opens her mouth.

We used black braiding hair with a bold honey-blonde blend toward the ends, adding a subtle pop that catches the light beautifully. The pattern across the scalp was a soft curved stitch, giving her crown a wavy, dynamic flow.

She wore a North Face puffer jacket in black and purple that added a sporty vibe, and her skin was glowing under the ring light. I couldn’t help but smile at the way her piercings sparkled—multiple on each ear and a cute gold nose ring that gave her look even more edge.

In the background, *”I Wanna Be Down” by Brandy* was playing. A real throwback that kept the vibes mellow and nostalgic—it matched the soft, graceful rhythm of the braid style perfectly.

Her confidence once we finished? Unmatched. She looked in the mirror, ran her hand down the length of the braids, and gave me a simple “Oh yeah, I’m feeling this.” That’s what I live for.
