Updos With Box Braids

1. Top Bun

Stay on the lighter side by braiding the hair while incorporating shiny silver strands along the length. The braided strands are then secured in an oversized high bun sitting on the head accentuated with a bright-colored headband for a funky appeal. 

2. Two-Toned Bulky Bun

Play with two contrasting shades rather than one before styling the braids in an updo. Use soft brown and blonde extensions while intertwining the hair into medium-sized braids all over the head. Style the strands in a bulky high bun reaching the hairline to complete the look. 

3. Half Up, Half Down

Here is another effortless way to rock box braids with an updo hairstyle. Half of the long braids are secured into a medium bun while the remaining dangle loose. Pull out two braided strands at the front to frame the face playfully. This fun style is ideal for young girls.
