Summer is a time to make the most of being outside. However, as fall welcomes us with open arms, we naturally return to nights in, protecting our peace and hair. Fall braids are on the rise as the latest hair trend of the season. The colder temperatures can be quite drying for some hair types, and it’s always best to protect our hair the best way we can.


Braids can provide the moisture our hair needs to thrive all year. That said, we’ve provided some fall inspiration braids that could make you fall in love with protecting your tresses.

1.Floral Braids

Why settle for regular braids when you can spice things up? We love these box braids with flowers to add a refreshing feel for fall.

2.Boho Braids

Boho braids took over the summer, and it looks like they’re here to stay for the fall season. This style is a perfect way to get that “blowout feel” without risking damaging your strands. Get boho braids and enjoy living heat-free!

3.French Boho Braids

French boho braids are cousins to the classic boho braids. Both styles look very similar but are slightly different. French boho braids are woven with a straighter texture, giving an effortless feel, while boho braids have a wavy, beachy look. French boho braids could be for you if you want an Emily in Paris moment.

4.Straight-Back Cornrows

Straight-back cornrows are a protective style that never gets old. They come in handy when we’re not in the mood to sit in the salon chair for hours on end. This style is convenient and always gives a “cool girl” feel.

5.Ombré Braids

An ombré style is the perfect way to add color to your life when things get routine. We love the natural ombré braids that bring us right back to life. The best part? There are no limits! Pick your favorite color to blend into your hair.

6.Mini Twists

Sure, they’re not braids, but they’re just as good. Mini twists are the little sister of braids. They give us the protection we seek while allowing us to enjoy our natural strands. You can try mini twists and mini braids with your natural hair to satisfy your needs.

7.Crown Braids

It's another summer staple that is just too good to end. Crown braids are making their way into fall, and for good reason. They allow us to show off our forever-approved face cards. And because of this, we rightfully approve of this style.

Melanie Fiona is back! After taking a little more than a decade-long hiatus, she has officially made her return to music and blessed us with two singles, “Say Yes” and “I Choose You.” While both singles are very different from each other, they both reflect who she is today and the type of music she wants to make. In our conversation, the mom of two expressed what she learned during her time away.

“It's interesting, even when I said it is like coming back, I don't ever feel like I really left because I was always still performing. I've still been public. It's not like I went into being this recluse person or version of myself, but the thing that I really learned in this process is that I think things take time,” Melanie says in a xoNecole exclusive.

Yes, Energy Is Exchanged During Sex. Now What Does That Mean?

Although I’m not exactly sure that writing about sex as much as I do was on my life’s work bingo card back in the day, I must admit that it has always been a topic that has fascinated me. I think it’s because, even though society likes to gaslight us by acting like the act is “no biggie,” there is way too much data out here that says otherwise. Hmph. Not like I needed the data in the first place because, in my opinion, any act that is responsible for creating life, that is something that is a pretty BIG deal.
