All the Braid Designs Inspo You Were Looking For
Looking for new braid designs to wear as a protective style for your natural hair? Check out our inspo styles below.
1. Wavy Box Braid Design

We’ve seen box braids with curly or wavy ends. However, this hairstyle takes a new take on box braids with a wavy braid design. This is the perfect look for those looking to try something new with their braids while also achieving a cute boho-chic look, whether on small or larger braids. We recommend maintaining these gorgeous waves with For Every Hair Type Smooth & Style Mousse.
2. Intricate Cornrow Braid Design

Looking for a gorgeous way to style your hair into braids without having to spend too long in the salon chair? Then, we absolutely love these intricate-looking cornrow braid designs. This is a sleek way to have all your hair pulled back and show off your facial structure. Top it off with styled edges using a gel such as SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Defining Styling Gel for an even more complete look.
3. Crisp-thin Cornrow Design

Love the look of the cornrow braid design above but want something that will last for an extra week or two. Then these crisp-thin cornrow braids are for you! This is a gorgeous and practical look to wear as we begin to transition into the warmer months of the year.
4. Ponytail Braid Designs

Looking for a quick braids hairstyle? We absolutely love how this look allows you to leave your natural hair out while also sporting braid extensions to the sides of your hair that frame your face. This style looks especially great when worn in a ponytail. For a frizz-free look, gel your hair down with TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Firm Control Gel.
