Beautiful Box Braid Hairstyle

Braiding hair has been a tradition in many cultures and has been around for centuries, and today wearing braids is still a popular hairstyle (especially for women who want to tame their unruly hair). There are so many different kinds of braids you can get in your hair today, but one of the popular kinds is called box braids. The name comes from the fact that these braids are made in a way where they are square, and so they resemble a box. Box braids are small braids that are braided with four pieces of hair instead of three, and these small braids are similar to micro-braids and cover your whole head. Because these braids are so small and are meant to cover the whole head, the time it takes to complete the box braids is anywhere from 4 to 12 hours (depending on how much hair you have).

These braids can be complicated to do, and very time consuming, if you have never done them before, so it is best to go to a stylist because they will be able to braid them in a less amount of time. The box braids are a permanent hairstyle that can stay in for a long period of time, and you are still able to wash your hair normally with box braids. The hair is sectioned off into whatever size you want (small or large), and the hair is separated into three or four pieces and braided. The braid is usually started right at the root of the hair to the tips, but there are different ways to complete the box braid look. You can have the braid go all the way down to the tip and secure it with a black rubber band, or you can leave the tips without a rubber band.

The box braid has been seen in history on women in ancient Egypt and other African countries, but they have only recently come back into style. In the 1980s and 1990s women began wearing box braids, and famous singer’s and actresses during that time started their popularity. In the early 21st century braids became associated with young girls and many women did not wear them, but recently they have become popular once again and many famous actresses and singers are seen wearing the look once again. The box braid is a beautiful way to style your hair and they are easy to maintain, so this is why many women wear them.
