Today's #ThrowbackThursday is dedicated to this legendary style which girls across the country are starting to embrace (myself included)! I've always been a fan of minimum maintenance when it comes to my hair. So these box braids seem SUPER LOGICAL in terms of maintenance. They can last the span of a couple weeks or a couple months if you take care of them properly. They are low maintenance on the hair scale (so you can go to the gym without worrying about sweating your hair out). They are very versatile, so you can style them up in a ninja bun or leaving them cascading down your back. Either way you can style them in a flash :) And best of all they simply look elegant and put together without trying which gives them an A in my book.
If you need some ideas of how to rock these braided beauties have no fear. I've collected a few photos of celebs and around the way girls who have dared to be different on this hair journey. Check them out below!
Solange is one of the box braid ambassadors of this generation, she has been rocking them for years and she rocks them effortlessly |
