how far up you want the curls.
Leave your hair in for around five minutes to secure that curls stay in place until you redo or try a different style.
Banana Clip
Banana clips are one of my favorite things to use for the summer. Not only is it a cute style but depending on the clip, it can also complement your outfit. As a lover of pastels, I love finding hair clips that are light pink, blue, or white, and searching in stores for more unique and specific hair clips is always fun.
The clip also helps to keep your hair off your neck, which can be really helpful when it starts to get hotter. And if you hate hair ties, then, once again, the clippers are perfect for you because it doesn’t grip onto your hair as tight as a hair tie might.
Braids on Braids
Do not be afraid to braid your braids. I’m talking about one big French braid. Or two big braids that flow down your back. Or possibly a braid that wraps around your head, giving you a medieval look.
It’s fun to braid your box braids because the final product gives your hair a complexity that is elegant and represents how unique and adaptable Black hair can be.
Short
It’s known that before it’s time to take out your box braids, everyone cuts it to the length where your own hair stops. And every time that happens, most of us remember that we look good with short box braids.
But the next time we get box braids, we never get them short.
I’m here to tell you that this is your sign to try short box braids.
If you don’t wanna go for short, I would start with collarbone length just to see if you like them shorter. But for the full look of short box braids, I would recommend braids that only flow to the shoulders, or a chic bob style.
This is the perfect look for summer because it’s cute, easy to style, and keeps you from having a lot of hair on your head while the heat comes in. It also gives you a crisp new look that may encourage you to try more new things throughout the summer.
Box braids are a protective style, so no matter what you do, your hair will be protected from the humidity. But if you’re someone who always wears box braids, and wants a change of pace for the summer, you can always try one of these styles so you can start the summer feeling fresh.
