We’d like to introduce you to Keash Braids, AKA the hairstyle masterminds behind the current pop-up salon at The X in Victoria Park. Founders Taiba Akhuetie and Jessy Linton decided to forge a career out of their love for the iconic braided hairstyle when they founded Keash Braids two years ago in South London. Bringing together their joined passion for culture and tradition, Taiba and Jessy have sought to share their celebration of female empowerment and love of retro stylings. Reinvigorating the classic braid, the duo create 12 bold braided styles that can be embellished with a selection of sleek accessories and eye-catching colorations. Embodying Three Stripes‘ commitment to providing a well-rounded program of both style and performance, Keash Braids was a perfect complement to the brand’s dynamic integration of form and function.
