Bohemian box braids are about to be one of the biggest braid trends of the summer [1], so you can go ahead and add them to your list of styles to try out in the next few months (if you haven't already). This look isn't exactly new — box braids [2] themselves have been around for practically forever — they can be dated all the way back to ancient Egypt [3] — but this boho update was introduced fairly recently.

"This is a newer version of box braids where there are hairs left out of the braid for a more casual undone-yet-cool look," celebrity stylist Annagjid "Kee" Taylor [4] told POPSUGAR. "Most of us who get box braids actually wait for that moment where the hairs start to come out a bit and we can wear the style with baby hairs. This style is almost a blend of faux locs [5] and goddess locs, so there's a timeless vibe to it while it still feels really modern and fresh."

Also referred to as "goddess box braids" and "boho box braids," this is a perfect style to take on if you want to give your regular box braids a perfectly undone look. Ahead, check out a few of our favourite takes on Bohemian box braids.
