Above all, in this hairstyle you will have to make two side braids close to the top of your head. Then you take the rest of the strands and roll them into a high bun, secured with bobby pins.
4- Semi-tied boxer braid with bun
Instead of making things difficult, these hairstyles make your life even easier. This one, for example, is even simpler than the boxer braid. Because, in this model, the idea is for you to just make one braid on top of your head.
Basically, you should start by separating a well-centered strand and dividing it into three parts. Next, it’s best to braid your hair until you reach the back and form a bun. Finally, leave the rest of the strands loose.
5- Boxer braid with ponytail
This model follows the same line of reasoning as braids with a bun. Well, in this model you also combine two easy and practical hairstyles. Therefore, in this model you just need to make a boxer braid on each side and join the ends into a high ponytail.
6- Cross boxer braid
Now, cross everything at once. Don’t worry, don’t get drunk either. Basically, you make two traditional boxer braids, then cross them at the back of your neck and discreetly secure the ends with bobby pins.
Simple and classic, as well as perfect for more formal events, such as a wedding and graduation.
7- Side boxer braid
This model is also an example of a more formal hairstyle for weddings and graduations. In this case, you don’t make two braids, but just one on the side.
Therefore, you must separate three strands on one side and start the built-in braid, keeping the braid close to the ear. Finally, when you reach the back of your neck, continue braiding your hair to the ends and secure with an elastic.
