Tyla’s Braided Bob Proves the Versatility of Protective Styling

Tyla wearing oversized sunglasses and braids in the front of her hair with curls in the back. She has on a black graphic t-shirt that says keep calm and party. .

I’m convinced that Tyla has a hair wizard hidden somewhere in her house. On November 4, the singer was photographed attending the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, this time in New York City. She wore a gorgeous seafoam green dress and matching platform heels. Her hairstyle was a variation of one she’s worn before, but shorter, more flirty, and a perfect way to showcase the versatility of protective styles once again.

Tyla’s hair combined cornrows with a sew-in, similar to the style she was seen in just last week. However, there are some key differences. The version from last week was long and tumbled down her back, while this week’s is noticeably shorter, a clear sign that the singer prefers a bob hairstyle. Additionally, the previous style featured only one side braided, but now almost the entire front of her head is covered in cornrows, with the ends of each braid blending seamlessly into her straight extensions. A slight curl and the ends of her hair add a touch of volume, and once again, the singer has elevated her protective style game.
