How to Install Perfect Box Braids
Box braids require patience and proper sectioning but provide weeks of low-maintenance styling. Professional installation is often recommended.
🧴Start with clean, stretched hair and apply leave-in conditioner with light oil
🪮Create precise square sections using a rat-tail comb to form the 'box' pattern
💨Begin braiding from the root, adding synthetic hair for length if desired
🪮Maintain consistent tension throughout - secure but not too tight
✨Braid to the ends and seal with hot water or rubber bands
💆♀️Apply lightweight oil to scalp and use silk scarf for maintenance
