Preparation

Before getting a box braid hairstyle, you have to ready your hair. Here are the things you need to make sure to do to your hair before preparing box braids:

Shampoo
Detangle
Deep-condition
Blow-dry

Going through these processes will ensure your hair is as healthy and clean as possible. While your hair is braided, you won’t be able to get relieved of all the dirt and bacteria from your hair and scalp braids, so your hair should be super clean before it becomes braided.
If your hair is long adequate, box braids can be done with just your natural hair. However, if you want some extra length, hairpieces can be woven in.

The Basic Box Braid Steps

First, all the hair must be divided into individual boxes one at a time. When you grab a segment of hair, the hair on your scalp should look somewhat like a little square or rectangle. The size of the boxes can vary, depending on how big you need the braids to be.
After the boxes have been created, the section of hair in each box is further distributed into three even subsections and braided down to the ends. At the end of the method, the entire head of hair should be in individual braids. Then, you should moisturize your hair and scalp with natural oil.
