Box Braids Updos

Side asymmetric updos, “sliding” to one side, look very appropriate in office or any other setting where you need to look very presentable. The easiest way to do such a style is to braid an upside down braid, fixing it sidewise and tucking its ends inside.

High bulky buns are a separate story of braided updos. Most girls like mounting them very high, almost pushing them to the line of the hair growth, although a big bun on the crown also looks fantastic. You may experiment with its shape, making it taller or flatter, tighter or messier. A good idea is separating your box braids into vertical rows and twisting them before shaping a statement bun.

Highlighted box braids spark the simplest box braided updos, as they accentuate every twist or curve, drawing even more attention to your braided mane. The most common colors for box braids are blacks and dark browns, matching the hue of your natural color, but, as you see, lighter box braids may also look very flattering.
