There is something about sunshine that makes me want to get my hair braided up. Braids are one of my favorite go-to protective styles and every summer I jump on a different style. Last year, it was faux locs; this year, I'm into goddess box braids, also known as bohemian braids.


For those of you that don't know, they are generally smaller box braids, left open-ended with curls. I guess an updated version of the "pick and drop" braids style we lived for in the nineties. My favorite version of the style has been waist-length, low-density box braids with curly ends.

Goddess box braids have recently been seen all over Instagram on models, influencers, and celebrities alike, including Jhene Aiko and Jordyn Woods. I predict this will be one of the key braid styles this summer. I've booked my appointment for next month, get your bookings in!
