What Are Willie Nelson Braids?
Willie Nelson braids didn’t start out as “Willie Nelson braids,” but when you become a legend, your iconic hairstyle gets named after you.
Also called pigtails, pigtail braids, twin braids, or just braids, the distinctive feature of Willie Nelson braids is hair parted into two equal sections down the center of the head, where each section is formed into a braid, classically hanging from either side of the head to rest upon the shoulders.
Who Is Willie Nelson?
An American singer/songwriter widely regarded for his role in shaping the Americana music genre, Willie Nelson is a longhair of longhairs. Rising to prominence in the 1970’s, he has worn his signature braids for decades, becoming a central figure in the outlaw country movement.
His raw, authentic style, and hits like “On the Road Again” and “Always on My Mind” have cemented his place in American music history.
Also known for his social activism, Willie Nelson has advocated for causes like farmers’ rights and cannabis legalization. His unique voice and free spirit have made him a cultural icon, his influence transcending generations of longhairs.
