Consider how to do box braids if you want a fun and unusual hairstyle but are reluctant to try something too outrageous. Box braids are an excellent way to add interest to your look without going crazy. Hair accessories like headbands and pigtails can also be used to style them.
My family had a birthday party a few weeks ago that I wanted to attend. I am pretty self-conscious about my fashion sense and overall look. I have a “chubby face” and am tall for a lady, so finding a style that isn’t overdone has always been difficult for me. I wanted to make a statement with my attire, but I wasn’t sure how my hair would turn out. I ended up in the salon to have a box braid. They were two of them, each made up of three hair parts.
The braid’s first section is blonde, and it’s twisted into two small flips and secured to the top of my head. I pinned a slight red curl across the top of my head after that, and then I put another blonde portion on the opposite side. I also pinned a red circle to that side. This was the most straightforward method for making a double braid. I spent approximately an hour on the procedure, but I was satisfied with the outcome. My hair looked fantastic and was not overdone in the least. Braid your hair if you have fine, thick, or curly hair. All you’ll need is a little creativity and the desire to try something new for the first time!
1. Box Braided Updo in Burgundy and Blonde
This style is ideal for shorter hair or those who want to hide their roots. To achieve a unique effect, this style uses two different hues.
Part of the joy of having box braids is experimenting with different color combinations. Are you turning a shade of red? Toss in some blonde highlights or the other way around! What’s the difference between blonde and brunette hair? That would result in some lovely pink hues at the braid’s ends. Of course, a personal favorite is the traditional combo of blonde and burgundy.

5. Braided Updo in Burgundy
Follow these methods to get the perfect half-updo that lets you show off your braids’ entire length while keeping a formal occasion look. Half of your hair should be separated and styled in a crocheted bun at the front of your head. Wrap the rest of your hair around this spot as the hair is removed, allowing the curls to fall into a loose bun. To avoid tangles or flyaways, cover the entire head of hair with a satin scarf (or equivalent covering).

Red and burgundy complement each other beautifully, and when worn together, they create a unique, textured, emphasized look that flatters all complexion tones.

7. Red Box Braids in Vibrant Colors
If you’re looking for a ‘fun’ color that’s easy to manage and will look great with a deeper shade once your natural hair grows in, brilliant red is the way to go.

8. Box Braids with Blonde Embellishments
Why not adorn your braids with so many rings that people would assume you work in a piercing shop, giving them a contemporary edge that will make you stand out?

9. Goddess Locs with an Extreme Side Parting

Just one or two braids in a complementary color can completely change the look and texture of your hair. A few well-placed blonde braids can help to highlight and add depth to your hair.
