Timeless and protective, the variations of box braids are endless. Check out our hair gallery…

 
Many people say box braids are now back, but did they ever really leave? We’ve seen them long, longer, thick and thin but we never get tired of seeing them. Put your own twist on them and add a bit of colour. You can even switch up the styles like some of the braided beauties we’ve picked out for you to grab some box braid inspiration from.
 

 
Though a protective style you must remember to look after your scalp, hairline and growth. Box braids should be kept in for a maximum of three months and you must remember to monitor your new growth.
