All the benefits of braids — without the weight of long hair. Why bob braids are the perfect choice for summer, work and a first try.
What are bob braids?
Box braids, knotless braids or twists cut to a length between the chin and the shoulders. The ends are sealed with hot water or left with small curls for a softer look.
Benefits
- Lighter on neck and scalp — less hair means less weight.
- Quicker to install — usually 3 to 5 hours.
- More affordable — less extension hair and a shorter appointment.
- Quick to dry after washing or swimming.
Blunt or asymmetric?
A classic bob is the same length all around. An asymmetric (A-line) bob is shorter at the back and longer at the front — it elongates the face and looks very modern.
Who they suit
Bob braids show off the neck, cheekbones and jawline. They are also great for a first try — to test braids without a big commitment. They last 4 to 6 weeks.
