I know I wasn’t the only one thoroughly thrilled with Alicia’s look at the American Music Awards Monday night! While singing “Empire State of Mind” along side my favorite rapper Big Homie (aka Jay-Z), the hair, makeup and outfit were amazing! It’s been a long time since I could say that about Alicia.
We were all getting pretty sick of the cornrows she sported for.eve.r. But this braid, I loved it! Renowned Hair Stylist Tippi Shorter 
rocked this ‘do!! So you know I’ve already tried to french braid my locs to make this look have it, to no avail. This is why I’m not a hair stylist. Ha!
Want to try the look? Here’s how to create the “backwards mohawk braid” at home!
Tippi washed, conditioned, and blew dry the hair using Pantene Pro-V hair products. She parted the hair into three sections. The two outside sections were joined to make a ponytail, while the middle section was braided up. Use bobbie pins to secure everything, and there you go! The coolest part about the braid what that it wasn’t directly in the center of the hair, DOPE!
