Today, boho braids are just another reincarnation of our creativity, and our history.Īs mentioned, the main distinction for these braids is that they showcase two hair textures: the regular straight braided hair and the wavy, textured hair added on the ends and sometimes within the box braids. It’s well known that box braids and other braiding techniques originated in ancient Africa, where braids were decorated with cowry shells, feathers, jewels, and beads. Pulling the box braids into a top bun like Zoe often does gives this look added boho edge. Kravitz can be seen accessorizing with embellishments like hair jewelry and playing with color, which spices up this hairstyle even more. From the parts to the ends, the look is intentionally less polished. The main difference with boho box braids is, unlike the traditional box braid technique, boho braids have a less uniform look with wavy hair added in select spots for a more wispy, carefree vibe. If you want the bohemian look in less time than traditional goddess locs, which require braiding the hair first then wrapping each braid with thread, goddess box braids may be your answer. You may have seen this fresh take on box braids on celebs like Zoë Kravitz, Eva Marcille, and Jhené Aiko, but if you haven’t, think of the style as a gorgeous mesh between goddess locs and box braids.
In case you missed it, boho box braids (also known as gypsy or goddess box braids) are officially here and posed to take over. The summer may be winding down, but one protective style is just heating up.
