The answer is a big – YES..you may want to know why and how is it so easy to get Box Braids done on Indian Hair?

Team DreadLey – the Expert in Hair Braiding across India has got you covered, please continue reading to know more..

Box Braids are nothing but ‘ box ‘ sections creatively made on the scalp and Braids made through each hair section.

They can be created with our Own Hair as well as with Hair Extensions.

What’s the difference between Own Hair Braids and getting Braids done with Extensions, you may ask?

Indian Hair types are : smooth, wavy, curly.. unlike African hair types that are very thick, rough and dense. Both are completely different hair types, where Africans may not need to use extensions (most of them do use it anyway) , but for Indian hair, Extensions play a huge role. 99% of our Indian Clients get Braids done with Extensions and we’ll tell you why..

While Braiding, Extensions help in giving volume to our Indian hair types, helps with the style not looking flat, you can add colours and length if needed, and the style lasts longer as well.

This was a little about What are Braids and how is it made..

Let’s come to the big question – CAN INDIAN’S GET BOX BRAIDS DONE ON THEIR HAIR

If you recollect, after oiling your hair – mom used to make a plait for you and even at school, we used to tie two plaits to look presentable and boys were asked to keep their hair short.

Box Braids are the same, it’s just that the quantity of Braids have increased from 1 and 2 Braids to as many as an individual would like to get done. Also, it’s done with utmost Professionalism.

Box Braids is nothing but Hair Braids that are made without the use of chemicals, damaging products, heat. It’s just top quality hair extensions braided along with your Own hair.

No harm to your Own Hair in any way.

It’s also easy to wash and easy to remove.

Once removed : Comb it, Wash it and you’re back with having your usual hair. And and and, you’re going to miss it once it’s removed, we assure. Haha.

So many Clients have got it done at our Studio for the past years and most of them come back to do it all over again, that’s the beauty of Braids.

No need to comb, no need to maintain it, no need to keep it in a certain way, it’s Braided and you’re always ready to slay with it.

If someone tells you it’s cultural appropriation / Braids belong to a certain part of the world / only a specific community can do it..

Just think about it : We are in 2025 now, isn’t it supposed to be a free world with a mindset far from these thoughts? We mean, trying on a Hairstyle which is completely Harmless to yourself and to others is the least you could do to embrace yourself and the endless possibilities to look and feel your best.

You have had your usual open hair all your life, even after removing the Braids you’re going to have your usual hair, so why not try Box Braids and experience the goodness it holds while you’ve still got the chance to do it, right?

It’s literally just HAIR BRAIDING, read the bold letters again, if you look at it in the truest form without adding other things to it, it’s clearly just that..no harm whatsoever, pure hair enhancement and a beautiful Hair Journey to look back upon.

We’ve been Braiding Professionally in Mumbai, India for many years now and it is still not a well known Style here, it is a budding Hairstyle, you may see very few people getting it done, but the numbers have definitely increased over the years..

And Indians may think it’s not common like Hair Cuts or Hair Colouring , it’s damaging , cultural appropriation , can’t be washed or removed , it has chemicals , it causes hair fall , it pains etc

But NOW YOU KNOW, it is all a myth.

Box Braids is completely opposite, and only if you try it you will know it, also when you are having a conversation with someone about Braids, make sure the person has had the experience of getting Braids done, because someone who’s done it would never tell you the negatives, because there clearly aren’t any. Especially with so little right information about Braids on Indian hair type in India, you should only and only listen to a Professional or someone who has experienced getting Professional Braiding done from the right place.

The next time you think about getting Box Braids done on your Indian Hair type and if there’s anything that’s stopping you. Know that – that’s all a myth and Box Braids could be the best Hairstyle you could EVER have.
