The 2 Braid Trends You'll See Everywhere This Summer, According to a Pro

If you're looking to try out a style that makes your hair look perfectly undone, consider looking into bohemian box braids.

"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," Taylor said. "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 and goddess locs, so there's a timeless vibe to it while it still feels really modern and fresh."

Knotless box braids aren't new — they've been growing in popularity since last spring — but Taylor predicts that this will still lead as a go-to style for those of us looking to protect our ends without putting too much stress on our scalps.

"This style is better for your hair because there's less tension on the strands," Taylor said. "This is a healthier alternative to box braids and looks super natural, plus it's a great protective style to wear while we're [social distancing]."
