Malia Obama Just Gave Us Another Reason To Do Box Braids

As soon as Malia Obama started her first year at Harvard University, photos surfaced of the young forever POTUS/FLOTUS legacy.

From pictures of her alleged boo to shots of the student simply walking around on campus, all eyes were on the first Obama daughter.

Well, now, all eyes are on her hair. Malia has always rocked luscious locks before now. Her hair stayed laid at official presidential events, and now that she’s a college student and life just got real.

How real? Protective style real.

We all know or remember the struggles of balancing a new undergrad workload with some semblance of a social life, not to mention daily grooming. Gone are the days where you get to do your hair every day because every moment is precious, especially when you’re at an Ivy League.
