A pair of 8-year-old and 10-year-old sisters are taking the braiding industry by storm! Meet Jayonnah (10) and Aiyonnah (8).
According to Allure, these two young sisters are making social media waves thanks to their dope braiding skills.
The girls' aunt posted a video on Facebook of Jayonnah deftly weaving Beyoncé "Lemonade"-inspired braids, which immediately went viral.
Another video of Aiyonnah doing box braids was posted last week, and also went viral.
So how'd they get into braiding? Well, like mother like daughters! Their mom, Ashley, is a professional hairstylist in Southern California.
“They [saw] me braiding so much they just picked up on it,” said Ashley. "Jayonnah started twisting her dolls’s hair at two-years-old, and was braiding very quickly after that." Jayonnah perfected the fishtail braid — a difficult technique — by age four. FOUR.
Aiyonnah was inspired by her sister at age five, and quickly began to learn.
“I just guided them to keep the braids smooth, nice, and clean,” Ashley said.
The girls have a hugely popular Facebook page, with over 61,000 likes.
“They love reading all the positive comments," Ashley said. "They’ve had a few people recognize them while we are out, and instantly get excited."
We love it — black girl magic in action!
