37 Fun Crochet Box Braids Hairstyles For You To Try Now in 2024

These crochet box braid hairstyles are both alluring and straightforward. Here are 37 ways to wear this easy-going trend. We all love the beauty, style, and versatility of box braids, but it can be quite the task if we’re honest.

From buying the hair to installation and upkeep, box braids are an investment of both time and money. That’s why we thank the hair gods and goddesses for crochet braids.

This braiding style involves plaiting straight back cornrows and installing the pre-looped braiding hair of your choice into the cornrows—the ultimate in convenience and simplicity. Interestingly enough, it’s been around since the 16th century.

It first showed up on the African continent and has grown in methodology and form over time. They succeeded in popularity during the 2010s because of their accessibility and comfort.

Crochet braids can turn a novice into a pro, and they’ve become one of the best DIY braiding styles. Some variations don’t even need cornrows! 

Before You Get Started

• Ensure your hair and scalp are clean and well-moisturized to promote a healthy environment for braiding.
• Choose high-quality synthetic or human hair extensions in the desired color and length.
• Familiarize yourself with the crochet braiding technique and gather all necessary tools, including a latch hook, hairpins, and a crochet needle.
• Decide on the size and length of the box braids you want, considering your preferred style and the health of your natural hair.

Binge on these bouncy, curly, straight, and satisfying crochet box braids hairstyles and choose your following great style. 

1. Passion Twist Crochet Box Braids

Combining two ultra-trendy braiding elements always gives a brilliant result. You have the passion twist and the crochet braid, forming this bouncy hybrid of light hair.

Many people love passion twists, but the biggest complaint is that it’s a challenging method to master.

The twisting motion is an acquired skill, and you have to make sure you don’t frizz your strands up too quickly. That’s why pre-looped crochet passion twists are where it’s at. 

You can either buy them pre-twisted and install them, or buy free tress or lulu tress hair and twist it yourself.

Since these braids are so light, and you’re using the crochet method, you’ll barely feel a thing. Just make sure you don’t overload your cornrows, as it’ll create a bulky effect. 

2. Pencil Brown Crochet Box Braids

When you look at the intricacy of these pencil braids, it’s easy to see why anyone would opt for the crochet version. Installing such thin box braids would be time-consuming and tiring for your fingers.

It’s also hard to get this kind of uniformity with traditional braiding. With crochet, you can get the consistency you’ve always strived for and take on complicated styles that require a professional’s hands.

With small braids like these, it’s easy to miscalculate how many you’ll need, so buy 3-4 jumbo packs or 6-8 regular packs of pencil braids.

If you’re going to go bold, pick something like this earthy brown with red accents. You don’t have to worry about the colors not mixing with your natural hair since it’ll be hidden. If you keep scrolling, you’ll see how wild crochet colors can be.

3. Poetic Justice Crochet Box Braids

Poetic justice braids made easy! Finally, you can copy this classic look without worrying about the tension it creates when improperly installed. You’ll also never feel the weight of traditional poetic justice braids, so your edges will sing your praises.

Depending on how thick you want these braids, create space that’s at least pinky width between each braid so that your natural roots can breathe. 

Black, as always, is the vivid color when picking poetic justice braids. Still, you can take a look to another level with clips, beads, or any hair jewelry of your choice.

Try gold cuffs on one strand, like the picture above, or go crazy with cowrie shells, strings, and beads, which you’ll see as you read along. 

4. Icy White Crochet Box Braids

Ice, ice, baby! Everybody loves an ice queen chic look, and these crochet faux locs are as remarkable. Unfortunately, platinum, white-blonde hair is so hard to achieve. It requires multiple rounds of bleaching and toning that can damage your natural hair.

Go for a crochet version to avoid that scandal and go long. Keep your curls and locks protected by choosing the lightest braiding color. 

You don’t have to worry about coming off as older, which most people think about when they see white or silver hair.

The look is so bold and bright that it adds a youthful, edgy touch. Rock this style with dramatic makeup and some dripped-out edges. You’ll be mistaken for X-men’s Storm, which isn’t bad. 

5. Senegalese Twist Crochet Box Braids

Image by @mirasofiahair via Instagram

Yet another style beloved for its aesthetic and beauty and loathed for its meticulous installation. Senegalese twists come in all shapes and sizes. Still, the super small ones can give you a headache, literally and metaphorically, if they’re not done right.

Some might give up when they see how small and tight these braids are. But, with the crochet option, you beat the hassle. 

Since you don’t have to worry about getting the method right, you can opt for an electrifying blue like the one above. The versatility also extends to daily styling.

You can wrap these light paper braids into a bun or go for a half-up, half-down look. If you want these twists to look natural, leave some edges out and style them. 

6. Medium Twist Crochet Box Braids

Image by @hbraids.estiloafro via Instagram

If the last look was too small for your liking, why not meet your crochet braids in the middle? It’s the perfect size for anyone who wants to rock their crochet twists in a bun or low and loose.

They’re also thick enough to add hair jewelry but thin enough to leave out the weight of a bulky braid. The chocolate brown also works well with most skin tones. 

The swirls also create this elegant Medusa effect that elevates your style. The same rule applies when it comes to moderating the bulk.

Always install a small amount first, and build on the look as you go. Make sure your scalp and cornrows don’t feel too tight or strained. If they do, take some out so that your hair can breathe. 

7. Coil Twists Crochet Box Braids

Image by @allenhair_gh via Instagram

This is the perfect cross between a spring twist and passion twist, and it’s way bouncier than both of them combined. This coil formation is reminiscent of phone cords from the 90s and early 2000s.

The springy texture bounces as you walk, and it’s a lot of fun to play with. If you really want to cause a stir, get a vibrant color like this red and black blend. 

You can try this look yourself, and here’s how. Buy three different lengths and start with the longest at the bottom. When you reach the middle, switch to medium-length coils and finish off the top with the shortest strands you have.

While this style is cute, it might not be the best for anyone who loves a ponytail or bun. The light bounce means you’ll disfigure the curls if you pull on them too much. For ultimate freshness, wear it down and let the curls drop independently.

8. Tan Twist Crochet Box Braids

This tan variation of the medium, Senegalese twist adds an ashy, muted tint. It also has excellent, silky elements that catch the light during the day.

Color is one of the most important categories to consider when choosing a new style. If you’re olive-toned, this tan will work perfectly for you, but adjust if your skin is on the paler or darker side. 

You can always experiment with different shades and add a mix of brown highlights to create dimension and weight to the crochet twists.

Depending on which side you want to part your hair, you can go for a criss-cross base pattern or straight backs. It’s all up to you.

9. Green Kinky Twist Crochet Box Braids

Image by @hbraids.estiloafro via Instagram

It’s time to go green! Get it? This olive green long bob, or lob if you prefer, is a significant crochet variation that adds an element of texture to traditional twists.

The kinky hair texture forms a tighter, rope-like twist that lasts longer due to the friction each strand causes when it’s wrapped. Let your dark roots shine to create positive shadows and depths. 

The genius thing about buying this hair pre-made is you don’t have to worry about sealing the ends by burning them.

Instead, each braid has been expertly wrapped and burned at the ends, removing the hazard that stops people from trying this style at home. 

10. Red Flames Crochet Box Braids

Image by @ms_denisep via Instagram

Red will always be a go-to color when trying box braids, and these curly faux locs bring the heat! You can buy these pre-made with the water wave hair attached or try to create your own custom crochet loc with two separate packs of hair.

To do that, combine pre-made short, red faux locs with smooth, water wave hair extensions. Then, with a crochet hook, attach the water wave hair to the ends of the faux locs, and there you go!

If you want to go for a modern, Gen-Z-inspired style, tie the front part of your crochet braids into a top knot ponytail. Use a light blue or light pink scrunchie for a “chill girl” aesthetic. To keep the ends intact, apply mousse every week. 

11. Ombre Cascade Curly Crochet Box Braids

Image by @allenhair_gh via Instagram

Have you ever seen an ombre braid blended so beautifully? The uniformity, color shading, and shape create the perfect coily twist. The dark roots blend with your natural hair, resulting in a seamless transition.

As you move down the shaft, you have this caramel, cocoa brown mix that draws your eye in before surprising you with a blonde pop at the ends. 

This spring twist version is tighter than passion twists, so you create a chunkier braid as you go along. Again, it’s best to buy these pre-made so that you don’t get frustrated as you try to duplicate this look yourself.

The layered effect is created by sweeping your hair back and letting it naturally fall. Since the hair is bouncy, don’t worry about overloading your cornrows.

12. Bounce Curl Crochet Box Braids

Image by @atlantacrochetbraidbar via Instagram

Yet another creative, curly crochet look, this is a cost-effective alternative to human hair extensions. Want to try a bob? Go for crochet braids. Need a more extended cut? Crochet braids are the answer.

You don’t have to cut or grow your hair out to get these curly tresses. Simply pick the crochet texture of your choice and install. These curls are large and wavy, so they look best when installed close together. You can even comb them out for a puffy curl. 

Since the hair is synthetic, you don’t have to worry about the curls growing limp or dropping. Instead, simply wear this style in a pineapple top knot when you go to bed, and your rings should remain in tip-top shape.

13. Loose Curl Crochet Box Braids

This is a slimmer version of the cascading ombre twists we all love. They create a wide, voluminous appeal that’s fun and flirty. You can buy the ombre twists, split them into three pieces, create a new braid, or buy pre-made twists.

The first option allows you to customize your size and perfect your twisting skills. You can also save money by buying fewer hair packs and splitting them. With the second option, you’ll have to buy more minor twists, so you could end up buying more. 

Since the curls are more voluminous, you’ll have to take extra care of the ends so that they don’t overwhelm you with frizz. Also, it’s best to stick with mousse over gel or moisturizer with synthetic hair as the hair won’t absorb it. 

14. Cornrow & Crochet Box Braids

Image by @kersti.pitre via Instagram

Since crochet braids already feature cornrows, it’ll be easier to let them shine with this half and half look. At the front, you have traditional feed-in braids that lead to the back.

You can stick to conventional cornrows or incorporate the stitch braid method for additional intricacy. For the braids at the back, add some crochet jumbo braids to create your own braids like the ones pictured above. 

It looks complex, but it isn’t. Just pick your favorite ombre color and pre-braid your desired amount of box braids, leaving out the ends.

Add curl formers or Flexi-rods to the ends, and dip them in hot water for the thick wave effect. Loop them in then back and live your best box braid life.

This is a pretty unique look, so you can be just as eccentric with your edges. This horn shape is ferocious, so try it out, or go for your favorite swirls.

15. Mixed Bag Medley Crochet Box Braids

Swirls, colors, and textures, oh my! There’s a lever of fun that’s hard to resist when adding various colors to your hair.

This fun bag of fiery colors is excellent for anyone that wants more variety with their box braids. You can customize your crochet hair to fit your personal aesthetic. Go for complementary or monochromatic color variations.

You can also go for contrasting colors if you want a spicier option. The yellow, orange, and red mimic a sunset. 

If you want to try this exact look, ensure that you have a predominantly solid color like black, brown, or even blonde. That way, the different tones, and shades can pop, creating an incredible photogenic moment.   

16. Curly Faux Loc Crochet Box Braids

Image by @richbraidsandbeauty via Instagram

This style is tough to pull off when it’s not pre-made because it requires you to dip the entire faux loc in hot water, which can take ages to dry.

However, these wavy, warped faux locs come ready to go. Also, unlike traditionally heavy faux locs, they barely weigh a thing. 

As pictured above, they’re so light that you can style them into a ponytail immediately after installation.

Since the hair is rougher than usual, make sure there’s enough space between your cornrows and the crochet loop. This prevents any itching or irritation. Check out the easy installation tutorial below.

17. Silky Micro Crochet Box Braids

Image by @the_braiding_specialist via Instagram

We love micro braids. They’re a fantastic way to lengthen your hair and keep a long-lasting style. Too bad they’re a headache to install. Micro braids are also notorious for pinching your roots and weakening your strands when installed the wrong way.

To avoid this, go for a wavy, silky crochet version. The honey blond softens your face while adding a sprinkling of color.

You need some free tress hair that loops or creates a curve at the top and some willpower. These are installed in small sections, so they take longer than most crochet styles. 

If you want to pull this look off, loop each strand three or four times. That will ensure they don’t unravel or get loose at the roots. Then, weave the crochet hair at the top of the cornrow. This way, the loop isn’t stretched beyond its limit.

Sweep the hair in front for a sultry look, or clip them back for a formal occasion. This hair is also great for beads and jewelry, as the accessories will stay in place due to the size and twist method. 

19. Havana Twist Crochet Box Braids Hairstyles

A famous cross between the Senegalese and Marley twist, Havana twists are perfect for those who love a bit of texture in their tresses. Since they mimic natural locs, they’ll get better as they age and won’t need much maintenance.

They’re usually worn long, but try this chin-length bob if you want to stand out. It will stay out of your way when you’re active and look cute for those dressed-up days. 

This style works best for anyone with tight curls, as the texture will match their natural hair accurately. If you’re the type that gets irritated when braiding hair touches your face, try pinning the sides back into a maiden-style braid.
