Box braids are a very popular trend and of course, 2021 will be no different. Box braids are a popular, protective style often worn by black women. Box braids are great for when you need a break from your natural hair or if you’re looking to grow your hair out in a healthy non-intrusive way. Box braids are predominantly popular throughout African, African-American, and African Diaspora culture.

They’re called box braids because of their box style divisions at the root. Box braids are generally created by using synthetic hair attachments to add volume, thickness and length. Unlike cornrows, box braids aren’t attached flatly through out the scalp so box braids can be styled in a number of ways.
