List of Creative Small Box Braids
Each style has its own unique look and way of making. Stay till the end so that you don’t miss anything.
White Braids
You don’t need to color your hair white for this. Just get some white hair extensions or threads or ribbons, whichever is easily accessible. Just make sure they’re thin.
Then, start making small box braids. In the end, you can also make a little bun on each side.
Blue-Black Double Buns
Either color your hair or use blue-colored hair extensions, thread, or ribbon. Now, there’s no need to cover all of your hair in blue just like the previous style, just use the blue ribbon in between randomly.
Center part the hair before making the braids and then make two half buns on the sides, keeping the rest of the braids open.
Half Updo
This style is particularly suitable for those with afro or curly hair. First of all, tie your hair in a tight ponytail. Then convert your ponytail into small box braids.
If you don’t have long hair, you can use brown colored ribbon or threads or hair extensions to match your black hair.
Pink Ombre
You can create the impression of an ombre without actually coloring your hair. Just grab some pink threads, and that’s it.
Then, starting from the roots, tie your natural hair in braids and when you come to the middle portion, start adding pink threads in your braids. Your pink ombre impression is ready.
Bob Braids with Curls at End
We bet you haven’t thought about converting your bob into braids until you saw this. You don’t even need anything extra for this, just your natural hair.
So start making braids but make sure you’re leaving the curly ends open. You can also add colorful beads to add a colorful touch.
Cornrows with Thin braids
Another hairstyle for girls who have afro hair is long box braids. You can take light brown or golden hair extensions and start making braids towards the back of your hair.
It should look like a wet hair look. If you don’t know how to keep your hair backward, take the help of a hair spray.
Ponytail Look
It is not necessary to keep your small box braids in an open hairstyle. You can also tie them in a high ponytail to create a completely unique style.
This hairstyle is suitable for your school or college environment. However, you’ll need a big rubber band to tie your hair.
Shiny Brown Braids
When you have naturally thick brown hair, you have many options to style them. This time tie them in box braids from roots to ends.
Keep your hair center-parted for a neat look. Such hairstyles take a lot of time to make, but they are worth the end result.
Multicolor Braids in a Pony
Color your hair without actually coloring it. How? Just get some different color hair extensions or threads and tie them along with your braids.
A combination of light pink and light blue colors would look cheerful. This way, you’ll know which colors suit your hair.

The colors included should be VIBGYOR. Keep the braids very thin as all the colors should be seen clearly.
White & Purple Weaves
The majority of your braids will be in white color, but the addition of purple in between will look so beautiful.
As usual, get white and purple colored hair extensions, and start braiding them with your natural hair. Create any length of micro weaves you want.
Golden Brown Weaves
If you have naturally brown hair, golden brown hair extensions will blend naturally with your hair color. However, it will look like you made all these braids using your natural hair only.
Make braids of medium thickness. You can also wear a bandana or headscarf too.
Blonde Ombre

Burgundy Black Twists
This hairstyle is only possible when you have long hair. Make several long, thick braids from roots to ends, then grab a big elastic rubber band.
Take hair from your crown area and pull them backward. Tie it in a loose ponytail and leave the rest of the braids as they are.
Braids with Beads
Beads are added to braids to create beautiful looks. This time add them to your thin box braids. Keep the number of beads limited as the show stopper here is your braids, not the beads.
If possible, use a designer or big beads instead of small and colorful ones.
