Box braids are a killer protective style. Instead of a damaging blowout or straightening treatment, they don\u2019t require any heat at all. Instead, your stylist will focus on treating your hair beforehand and helping you understand the process for keeping hair healthy for as long as you keep the box braids installed.\n<\/p>\n

Like most braiding styles, it\u2019s going to take a while. Prepare to spend more than just the afternoon in the salon chair. You\u2019re looking at a full day\u2019s work, hence the pricey cost of anywhere between $100 to $300. But once the washing, drying, sectioning, and braiding is complete, you\u2019re set for up to eight weeks of a hairstyle that you can count on.\n<\/p>\n

Here are 12 large and jumbo box braid styles that will inspire you to finally commit to the style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You didn\u2019t get show-stopping braids for nothing, did you? To accomplish this style, pull all of your braids back into a bun except for a few face-framing pieces. Let the loose braids hang free, either all together to one side or split down the middle.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bring an everyday feel to the box braid with this style. The secret to a look like this one is a healthy scalp. Oribe’s Serene Scalp Soothing Leave-On Treatment has a tiny tip that makes it easy to deposit product just where you need it. Now, you can take selfie after selfie without worrying about any flakes getting in the way.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Go for a mature half-up, half-down hairstyle by tying a few of your large braids closer to the nape of your neck. Let the rest hang freely.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After making sure your scalp is nice and clean with a product like Curlsmith’s Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash, make a center part the centerpiece<\/em> of your large braids. Top things off with an accessory of your choice.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Still obsessed with balayage? Same. Ask your stylist to blend your braids so that the hair gets lighter as it transitions from your scalp to your ends.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Even though Aliya Will wears her hair in locs, this is a style that would look just as incredible with box braids. Pile your large braids onto your head, and let the wrap take the spotlight. I love a neutral tone like this one. You can mix things up by choosing a fabric that feels true to your personality and sense of style.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While celebs like Rihanna have turned to the knotless box braid, Jhene Aiko proves that there\u2019s still a place for knotted large braids. By focusing on a healthy scalp with help from a killer product like IGK’s Trust Issues, a scalp-rebalancing treatment that doesn\u2019t have to be washed out, you can afford to draw extra attention to your baby hairs and let your braids fall where they may.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On those days when our brows are just too good to let hide behind large braids, we opt for a fan favorite: a topknot. Simply loop your braids up into a twist, and then take to your baby hair, using a gel like Oribe’s Curl Gel\u00e9e for Shine & Definition to smooth out and design your edges.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you want to step into the world of brightly colored strands without going all the way, add four or five large braids in a fun color like purple, green, or pink.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s important to tie up loose ends, unless we’re talking about your braids. Tessa Thompson wears a mix of big and tiny braids, but they all transition to pretty soft waves at her ends.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Add a little levity to your braids by reaching for soft, colorful stands, like this sugary look that\u2019s giving us major cotton candy vibes. Pile your large braids atop your head, and add a clip or two to add some flair.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two unique ways to differentiate your braids from the others across the internet are to switch up your parts and to add details. Natural details like these cowrie shells turn your hair into a true work of art.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
