There are different types of braids like cornrows, Box braids, Knotless braids, Micro braids, Boho braids, stitch braids, Jumbo braids, Ghana braids, amongst others. If you’re looking for a hairdo that will make you chic and classy, follow this guide below.

Box Braids

Box braids are individual plaits created by sectioning the hair into equal-sized, box-shaped parts. They typically begin with a knot at the root, where braiding hair extensions are added for extra length and volume.

Cornrows

Cornrows are a traditional hairstyle with deep cultural roots. The hair is braided close to the scalp in either straight rows or intricate patterns, creating a neat and striking look.

Knotless Braids

Knotless braids are a modern take on box braids. Instead of starting with a knot, they feature a knot-free base for a seamless look and lightweight feel. This method makes them gentler on the scalp.

Stitch Braids

Stitch braids are a variation of cornrows, created using a braiding technique that produces a distinctive ‘stitched’ appearance.

Pick and Drop

Pick and drop braids involve plaiting the top length of the hair (usually around three inches) and leaving the rest loose in soft waves or curls.

Boho Braids

Boho braids are another curly style, featuring loose, wavy strands inserted throughout the braids. This gives them a carefree, bohemian vibe.

Ghana Braids

Ghana braids are created by forming cornrows and adding extensions for added thickness and volume.

Jumbo Braids
Jumbo braids are a larger, more voluminous version of traditional braids.
