What Are Box Braids?

Before we jump into those styles, let’s have a quick recap for those in the room that need it.

Box braids are plaits or braids in your hair that are divided by small squared-off parts or boxes, hence the name.

The top of the braid will often look like a small square, where the hair has been separated to make the single braid. 

Box braids can be created to any width or length making them a versatile style. They will help to protect your hair in the harsh winter months, while also keeping your head cool in the summer.

They are a diverse style that can be worn long, tied in a bun, or any style you choose! And when you use blonde hair, you are sure to turn a few heads! 

These eye-catching braids are a fantastic way to style your hair, and today we have 20 style options for you to choose from.

Now that we have covered what box braids are, let’s take a look at some of the ways you can style them today. 

Before You Get Started

• Maintain a healthy scalp by keeping it moisturized and clean. This is crucial for both your natural hair and the longevity of your blonde box braids.
•  Moisturize your natural hair and your braids regularly. Using leave-in conditioners helps keep your hair hydrated and prevents dryness.
• Even though box braids are a protective style, if you plan to use heat styling tools on your natural hair, always use a heat protectant to shield it from damage.
• Ensure your natural hair is in good condition by trimming split ends every 8-12 weeks. Neglected split ends can lead to damage along the lengths of your hair.
• Use products like dry texture sprays to maintain a bouncy and voluminous look.
