The beautiful Nia Long has been that girl since the '90s. Always looking fierce in any style, she (along with fellow actress Halle Berry) she showed us just how versatile a pixie cut can be throughout the decade.

But while we all patiently hope and pray for her to one day bring back the short style, Long is still giving us a little bit of nostalgia with her latest look: box braids.

The star first debuted her new 'do via Instagram on June 26. "Braids by @mahoganyrevolution Dr. Keri #supportblackbusiness," she captioned the photo.

She posted another shot of her hair the following day, revealing the gorgeous two-dimensional color.

We're used to seeing Long with her signature jet black hair, so the pop of blonde highlights are a totally unexpected but fun twist. That said, we have a feeling she may have a little more fun as she dazzles with her latest look.

Dr. Keri Williams, the stylist behind Long's latest braids, is a trichologist, celebrity hairstylist, and the creator of the goddess locs style. So it's easy to see why the actress' hair is absolutely flawless.
