Extra large pigtails are a great option to manage a braid box set with style. Practice and master the tension and tuck in method to go scrunchie free and avoid crimping.

We love this Die Artwood inspired look. Didn’t Beyonce wear something like this too in a blonde? A superstar choice is A-OK for us.

Box braids are a marvelous choice from hot or cold weather months. Their protective capacity isn’t diminished unless you decide God forbid to neglect your hair. Protective styling begins on your wash day prep. Use clarifying or deeply moisturizing shampoos (depending on your particular needs) and deep condition using a butter-heavy creme or mask.
Detangle thoroughly starting with your fingers and section your hair into four, six or eight parts to use a finer comb or a tangle teezer. Pin them down to be chair ready, whether you’re doing your own hair or it’s time for your appointment.
Red box braids are made by matching your skin tone to a shade that compliments you. Most brands carry basic choices, but we wanted to do a special mention of Janet Collection color chart that offers hair for braiding in reds in ombre, balayage, two tones, fantasy and many more.
After braiding, the most important steps is sealing your ends with hot water and steam. This is a cornerstone for making your braids last. You can also repeat it every week or so at home to recover your braids for tear and frizz due to friction and weather conditions.
