The most iconic afro style for a reason — it looks powerful, lasts for weeks and gives your natural hair a break. Here is how to prepare and what to expect.
What are box braids?
Box braids are individual braids that start from square partings — hence the name. Extension hair is woven into every braid, so you choose the thickness, length and colour.
Which size should you choose?
- Small — the finest and longest-lasting, but they take the longest to install.
- Medium — the sweet spot: light, neat and quicker to finish.
- Large and jumbo — a bold look in just a few hours.
How to prepare
Come with washed, completely dry and detangled hair, without heavy oils. If you want a specific extension colour, let us know in advance — or leave it to us to provide it.
Install time and wear
Depending on size and length, installation takes 4 to 6 hours. With good care box braids look great for 6 to 8 weeks. We do not recommend wearing them longer, as new growth builds up at the roots.
