Listen, when Doechii stepped onto the Grammy stage, we all had to pause and take a moment. Not only did she secure a historic win, but she did it while rocking one of the most jaw-dropping braided looks of the night. And who do we have to thank for that masterpiece? The insanely talented Malcolm Marquez (@malcolm.marquez).
Malcolm Marquez Did NOT Come to Play
If there was an award for Best Hair That Stopped the Internet, Malcolm would’ve walked home with that Grammy too. His work on Doechii’s hair was a masterclass in braid artistry—structured, sculptural, and straight-up regal. Every single braid was placed with intention, creating a look that wasn’t just a style—it was a statement.
Because let’s be real, braids aren’t just a trend. They’re heritage, culture, and Black girl magic woven together. And when the right hands get ahold of them? Whew. Chef’s kiss.
Braids Are the Moment (And Always Have Been)
From the red carpet to the everyday slay, braids have always been that girl. They tell stories, protect our hair, and let us switch it up effortlessly. But we also know the dedication it takes to install them—and the patience it takes to take them down (we’ve all been there, fingers cramping, arms tired).
That’s where we come in. At The Original UnBraider, we celebrate braids not just for how flawless they look, but for the hours of love that go into creating them. And when it’s time for a new style? We’ve got you covered with a tool that makes takedown quick, easy, and pain-free.
A Win for the Culture
Doechii’s Grammy win was iconic, but the way she represented with her hair? Even more legendary. Malcolm Marquez understood the assignment, and we’re here to give flowers where they’re due. Because let’s face it—braids deserve ALL the shine.
So here’s to more Grammy-worthy braids, more stylists pushing the culture forward, and more moments where we take up space and look flawless doing it.
