Bianca Belair, the EST of the WWE, has effortlessly carved a niche for herself in the Women’s Division. Her striking appearance, particularly her iconic long braid, has charmd fans worldwide. The braided hairstyle has become an integral part of her persona, inspiring countless young fans to replicate her look. However, few know that the idea to keep the braid originated from her husband, Montez Ford.

In a recent podcast appearance, Belair revealed that she initially wore the braid as a tribute to her idol, Beyoncé, who sported a similar look at a concert. Initially, Belair planned to wear her hair down like her fellow wrestling trainees. Nevertheless, Montez Ford had other ideas. He advised her to do the opposite of what everyone else was doing, citing that it would help her stand out in the crowd.

This poignant advice proved to be a game-changer for Belair. The braid not only became a defining feature of her character but also transcended her performance in the ring. It has become a symbol of her uniqueness and willingness to take risks. Belair has since credited Montez Ford with helping her find her signature look, acknowledging his instrumental role in shaping her professional identity.

The braid has not only become a testament to Belair’s artistic expression but also a source of inspiration for young fans. Girls in the audience often try to replicate Belair’s hairstyle, showcasing the immense impact her image has on the WWE audience. Belair’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of embracing one’s individuality and not conforming to societal norms.
