What Box Braids Hairstyles Are There?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you contemplate getting box braids, knowing all the box braids styles and the maintenance routine is vital. First, you will need to decide on the length and diameter of your braids. However, there are other questions to answer too. For example, will you have all individual braids or cornrows transitioning into braids too? Will you try out any beads or triangle box braids? Will you weave in any color, and what color will suit your complexion best?<\/span><\/p>\n

All these styles look great, so don’t hesitate to try out new looks occasionally. Once you have your hair braided, experiment with different ways to style box braids: statement-making buns, high ponytails, twists, and braids on braids.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Box Braids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In short, they’re braids that get their name from the square shape in which your hair is sectioned. They’re often installed with extensions and come in various lengths, sizes, and colors (as you’ll see).<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re thinking of getting the style yourself, Stephen thinks you should know a couple of things. First, you should treat and trim your hair prior. Natural hair is often blow-dried out beforehand to make the installation process easier for your stylist, so you can have your ends cut then. Speaking of stylists, Stephen recommends that you research yours beforehand and be conscious of the sensitive parts of your scalp during the braiding process. “If you have a thin or weak hairline, then you shouldn’t put excess tension on those areas,” she warns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have your box braids in, it’s easy to forget about your actual from-the-root hair, which still requires moisturizing. “Products with penetrating ingredients like coconut, jojoba, and olive oil are great to use while wearing these styles,” says Stephen. As for when to take them down, she recommends keeping them in for two months maximum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we have the basics, we’ve rounded up some of the coolest box braids hairstyles for you to consider. Fair warning, though: It’ll be hard to choose just one. Scroll on through for our favorites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
