A box braids hairstyle keeps your hair from encountering pulling or tugging that may lead to breakage and also eliminates how often your hair comes into contact with objects like hair brushes or curling irons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>They\u2019re Versatile Yet Low-Maintenance\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many different ways to style box braids!

High Bun<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of the high bun as a sock bun sans the sock. All you have to do is twist your hair, put it into a high bun, and you\u2019ll be ready for a day at work or a night out on the town. We love the versatility of the high bun. It\u2019s a casual yet elegant braid style.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Ponytails<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A high ponytail is one of the most playful ways to wear braided hair. Start with your hair loosely in your hand, then secure it at the center of the top of your head \u2014 or off to the center \u2014 with a braid wrapped around it, bobby pins, or a hair tie. Remember to be gentle with your hair<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and if you like the look of a tighter pony, you can always adjust as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Curly Ends<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/braids-curly-hairstyles\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=braids_curly_hair&amp;utm_content=braids_with_curly_ends\">braids with curly ends<\/a> are the perfect style to rock for the goddess in us all. Adding a little curl to the end of your braids can work wonders for giving your hair some extra volume. Of course, the thrill of box braids is that you can often forego the styling techniques like curling, but when you want to jazz things up, it\u2019s nice to have the option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Braided Bob<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The braided bob is so chic and sophisticated. Typically, the classic bob rests just under the chin, slightly angled, and is flattering for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/face-shapes\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=face_shapes&amp;utm_content=all_types_of_face_shapes\">all types of face shapes<\/a>. If you\u2019re asking your stylists about how to style box braids, make sure to inquire about the beautiful bob braid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Fishtail Braid\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fishtail braid requires weaving together two main strands of hair. Essentially, you alternatively pinch small portions of the hair from the outside of those two main strands to achieve your beautiful fishtail braid. The fishtail is one of our favorite cute hairstyles to do with box braids, so if you\u2019re interested in trying it out, visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mDsPW0zVLm4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this YouTube tutorial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from MyBlackHair. Rest assured, though it may look complicated to achieve, it\u2019s super easy once you get the hang of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. French Braid\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to a fishtail braid, but done with three strands instead, a French braid is another one of the best ways to style box braids. If you\u2019re on the hunt for a step-by-step tutorial, here\u2019s a good article to guide you through the process: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Do-a-French-Braid-with-Box-Braids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Do a French Braid with Box Braids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Colored Braids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you looking to really make<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a statement with your braided hairstyle? Go big and get bold with colored braids. Whether it\u2019s light to dark pink ombre or deep burgundy that gets your creative juices flowing, colored braids are both eye-catching and beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5023\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.styleseat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Knotless-Box-Braids-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Knotless-Box-Braids-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Knotless-Box-Braids-1-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Knotless-Box-Braids-1-768x653.png 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Knotless-Box-Braids-1-600x510.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8.

The braiding hair is added to the natural hair in small pieces<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which can result in less tension on the scalp and pulling on the roots. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stylist.co.uk\/beauty\/knotless-braids-how-to-low-tension-style\/361536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some professionals say <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this method means less chance of traction alopecia and follicle damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.styleseat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids.png 799w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids-768x765.png 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids-600x598.png 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bohemian-Box-Braids-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Bohemian Braids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With bohemian box braids, the first few inches are braided while the ends are left curly. If you\u2019re looking for unique hairstyles to do with box braids, bohemian braids offer a voluminous and free-spirited look. You can further style your boho braids with buns, ponytails, pigtails, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Chunky Braids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chunky braids, or jumbo box braids, are stylish and dramatic. As opposed to smaller braids, jumbo braids can be heavy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and therefore, tough on the hair. To alleviate any tension in the hair<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it\u2019s important that your stylist monitors which sections of hair are used and how tight the hair is pulled. They&#8217;re a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/braids-black-women\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=braids_black_women&amp;utm_content=braid_style_for_black_women\">braid style for Black women<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11. Crochet Braids\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crochet Braids continue to grow in popularity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and although they aren\u2019t a type of box braid, they\u2019re definitely worth mentioning (as they do often get confused with box braids). Crochet braids <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">crocheted synthetic hair into your natural hair with a latch or crochet hook. They\u2019re versatile, quick to install, and similar to box braids, they tend to last for about four to eight weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>12. Half-Up Bun<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The half-up bun is a fantastic hairstyle for all types of braids, from long box braids to jumbo box braids. Keep your bun high up on your head to make a stylish statement and let the rest of your braids fall freely. We especially love this style with colored ombre braids, though it looks fun with all types of braids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13. Micro Box Braids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Micro box braids, also called thin box braids, can take a whopping nine-12 hours to complete (though they can last up<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to three months if properly taken care of). They\u2019re a stylish type of box braid that\u2019s easy to wash (due to smaller parting sections and easier access to your scalp).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>14. Small Box Braids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When discussing<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to style box braids, no list would be complete without small box braids. These braids are ideal for those gals on the go o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">r if you like to work out often. This is because they\u2019re easy to pull up into a bun or ponytail, but don\u2019t cause as much tension as micro box braids do. Although these may take up to a full day\u2019s work to complete, they\u2019ll last for over two months, which makes small box braids well-worth their time and financial investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>15. Box Braids with Hair Cuffs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair cuffs are a fun way to bedazzle your braids and add a bit of extra spunk to your style. Whether you\u2019re going for glitter hair cuffs or gold hair cuffs, they\u2019re a good reminder that experimenting with hair should be fun and inspiring.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>16. Deep Side Part<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re searching for hairstyles to do with box braids for a night out, try a deep side part. Whip your hair to one side, throw on your favorite dress, and a vibrant shade of nail polish, and you\u2019ll be good to go (of course, a swipe of bold lipstick will seal the deal and ensure a fancy evening ahead).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>17. Two Buns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes called Princess Leia buns, two buns on either side of the head are the ideal place to turn for cu<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">te<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hairstyles to do with box braids. They\u2019re fun, funky, and can add a whole lot of flair to every kind of outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re going for buns, ponytails, micro box braids, jumbo box braids, or anything in between, we hope this article gives you some inspiration and excitement to try something new.
