Box braids for men are a highly effective “protective style” that involves dividing the hair into small box-shaped sections and then braiding the hair in a manner that allows it to hang freely. The technique used to create box braids shares similarities with the method used for cornrows, making it a valuable foundational practice for beginners before attempting more intricate cornrow styles.
Box braids are particularly well-suited for Afro hair textures. Not only do they serve as a protective hairstyle, shielding the hair from external elements and minimizing manipulation, but they also contribute to hair growth. This combination of protection and growth enhancement makes box braids a popular and beneficial choice for individuals with Afro hair textures.
