Fierce or Foolish: Christina Milian Box Braids

Ok folks, so we've discussed box braids here on LoveBrownSugar quite a few times before. Ever since Poetic Justice-style individuals came back with a vengeance over a year ago (in the mainstream at least), they've been all the rage. Spotted on fashion-forward celebs like Solange and even older sister Queen Bey, they've officially been given the mainstream stamp of approval. I recall asking you guys in my Beauty & The Box Braids post to weigh in on whether or not I should get a set. To date. I haven't but I'm sure it will happen this summer.

Anyway, the latest celeb to jump on the box braid bandwagon is songstress and The Voice correspondent Christina Milian. She tweeted yesterday about her new 'do and that she's been wanting to try them out since she was 12!

Ever since Poetic Justice-style box braids have come back in style (circa summer 2010), I've toyed with idea of getting them installed. I think they're kinda fly. Aside from the fact that Solange makes almost everything look amazing (her damn blog is so fly), I've seen some really great versatility with these braids on all types of girls.

So what do you think? Should I go for them in the New Year? Or is it risky?
