The ZigZag side braids, famously referred to as the “Pop Smoke braids,” hold a special place as one of My Grip Game’s favorite creations. Before it adopted the name “Pop Smoke braids” following the tragic passing of the late rapper Pop Smoke, this unique style of braiding was a rare and distinctive design.
It was during this time that Tasha first harnessed her exceptional talent for creating intricate patterns on hair, resulting in the birth of this captivating and iconic hairstyle.
The credit for this innovative style goes to My Grip Game’s founder, Tasha, who originally crafted the ZigZag side braids in 1995.
Tasha’s unique talent has consistently enabled her to draw inspiration from everyday objects and translate them into stunning hairstyle patterns. The ZigZag side braids, born from this creative process, quickly rose to prominence as one of the most sought-after hairstyles for short hair. Beyond its captivating and symmetrical appearance, these braids also yield remarkable hair growth results, adding another layer of appeal to this spectacular style.
