Corn Rows, Not Just For Bo Derek and Hip-Hop Stars
November 25, 2008 11:52 am

Any doubts as to Olga Kurylenko’s street cred were put to rest today, when the Ukrainian model-turned-actress showed up to the Tokyo premiere of Quantum of Solace with corn rows and what appeared to be three ear piercings. The braids—finished off with a satin ribbon-tied bun—aren’t going to sit well with purist pundits who like their hair down and their Bond girls glamorous. But let us be the first to say—yes. Yes to a little street-gang flair on the red carpet, and yes to Kurylenko’s willingness to shake things up a bit. We like a little spunk in our secret agents.

Thank you for trivializing my culture and a way African women have been styling their hair for centuries . The recent adaption of this hair style by hip- hop culture is just a foot note in the tradition and significance of African hair styles.

negativity is a waste of time…especially on a BEAUTY BLOG!
