Bohemian/Goddess Box Braids

Starting with the beloved combo of curly hair and box braids with a summer twist, and the twist is that the style is a bob. When the sun is out a little longer and shining brighter, that is the clear indicator to get a bob.

Fulani Braids

The beauty of Fulani braids is that you always get a combo of box braids and cornrows. If the hair begins to feel too hot, you can easily style it in a bun making it a perfect summer braid hairstyle.

Box braids can look dull, so why not dress them up in some cute silver cuffs? Accessories always add that little spark a style is missing.

Soft Loc Bob

Another bob, but with soft locs. This a cute style to keep the natural hair tucked away while remaining a little cooler.

Passion Twists

For some reason, I declare passion twists as the staple summer braid hairstyle, especially as a bob.

Cornrows and Box Braids

A great style to highlight any skills in creating baby hair. When it comes to cornrows, people tend to look at the neatness, braid pattern, and, most importantly, how the baby hairs are styled.

Cornrows reached a new level of neatness when stitched braids came out. There were already so many stylish patterns, but now the individual parts of the braid are neatly created.

Butterfly Loc Bob

The light brown is slightly noticeable, but the subtle hint of color makes the hairstyle look more lively. You can do the same with other colors to give your summer braid hairstyle a pop of color.

Goddess Box Braid Bun

When you have goddess box braids, the best way to style them in an updo is to always leave out some curly pieces.
