box braids
Cornrow-free protective style
Box braids are a protective hairstyle in which the hair is sectioned into small square or rectangular parts and each section is braided from the root.
The style originated in African cultures and remains popular for its versatility and low maintenance.
Box braids can be worn long or short, often with synthetic hair added for length: She got box braids for the summer.
