Styling Box Braids for Girls and Boys


Anisa has been wearing her hair in box braids for a few weeks now and I decided to share pictures of different styles that I have created. 

Up first is this very pretty updo. For this style, I gathered her braids in the center of her head and braided them together into one large cornrow. Once I reached the top, I wrapped the remainder of the braid around in a swoop and secured the newly created bangs with hair pins. 




The updo was followed by a style that Anisa helped to create. She told me what she wanted and I made it happen! 

For this style, I removed her updo and created one large cornrow in a circular fashion around her head. The cornrow led into a high ponytail that was adorned with beautiful flower. 






Now the name of this post is styling box braids for girls and boys so it's time to show Mr. King!! 

For his style, I created several cornrows with his box braids. 




He also sported this style for Easter without the rubberbands. 


Finally, we have this lovely creation! For this style, I created several twists in the same way that you would created two-strand flat twists. I did add rubberbands at the nape, but this really was not necessary. The remainder of her hair was gathered in a low, side ponytail that was accessorized with another pretty flower. 




Stay tuned for more style updates! As always, if you want to stay up-to-date on all of our styles, be sure to "Like" our Facebook page by clicking the pic below!

Quick Update: Mini Box Braids


Anisa has had her braids since Thanksgiving and they are holding up pretty well! I've been keeping them moisturized by using the products that we have at home from Carol's Daughter, Oyin Handmade, and Shea Moisture. She will keep her braids for at least a few more weeks and then I'll decide if I want to take them down or not. So far, I haven't done any styles with these braids. She usually wears them down, pinned back or in a high ponytail. Do you have any style suggestions for us to try??

Day 2, 4, and 5 Updates

I decided to share a few pictures to let everyone know how Anisa's Braided, Twisted, and Rolled style is holding up. I am pleased to say that it is holding up very well! I've been moisturizing her hair with Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk and Bee Mine Juicy Moisturizing Daily Spritz. I must say that it has been doing a great job! She also wears a satin bonnet at night in addition to her satin pillowcase.

Here are pictures from Day 2.




We were really busy on Day 3 so I didn't get a chance to take pictures.  On Day 4 I decided to leave her twists down instead of rolling them. This gave the style a whole new look!







On Day 5 her twists were rolled and pinned once again. Frizz is visible but I am still pleased with how it looks.




The final variation will be a braid/twist out so stay tuned!!
