A staple for some of our personal hair heroes like Zoe Kravitz and Ciara, this A-list fave offers a high-impact, low maintenance look. Despite the relatively tame after-care needs, creating these intricate plaits does take some serious practice and patience. So, before you commit, it’s worth asking: how long do box braids last?
So, how do you find the balance? Elena recommends working with your hair type. “If in doubt, go for slightly looser braids, it’s best not to put too much pressure on the scalp. Alternatively, experiment with a bigger braid to see how your scalp reacts before moving onto a tighter, smaller style.” Credit: @amprogel
One of the main factors affecting how long your box braids will last is your personal hair growth rate. If you’ve got locks that grow at lightening speed (we’re jealous), then, chances are you will have to re-do your braids quicker than most. It is recommended though, to wait at least a month between getting box braids again “this will give your roots time to recover,” says Elena.
On the other hand, hair that doesn’t grow as quickly means you won’t have as much visible root growth. But, this doesn’t give you a free pass to leave your braids in for longer than recommended. “They should still be redone before you hit the two-month mark,” Elena advises. Credit: @txukinha_oficial
If you’ve got the urge to #BeatHairBoredom, we suggest working your box braids into a stylish updo. Turn heads by weaving them into a larger plait, twisting into a bun or pulling up into a ponytail. Practice makes perfect, so if you’re new at styling your braids, work slowly to make sure you don’t pull on the hair too much.
