What are Box Braids? - DreadLey Dreadlocks

The DreadLey Knowledge :

Like the name itself – BOX Braids are Sections made in a Square / Box shape on your scalp and once that is done, Braids are created in every section by attaching Hair Extensions to your Own Hair OR people also consider making Braids with the use of their Own Hair only.

  • Are they Temporary or Permanent?

On Indian Hair Type – Box Braids last for about 2 months

  • Can we attach Hair Extensions to Short Hair?

Yes, attaching Hair Extensions to Short Hair is possible.

Minimum hair length required to attach Hair Extensions is 3 – 4 inches.

Why do people go for Hair Extensions?

When we have Short Hair – extensions help with adding length and volume and it also helps with creating the exact Hairstyle you desire, lasts longer on Indian Hair type as well.

  • Do they damage or are they harmful to our Own Hair?

No, Braids do not damage your hair at all. You have our word.
We use Imported Hair Extensions that are Chemical free.
To create Braids all we do is – attach Damage / Chemical Free extensions to your hair. That’s it.

  • Is it possible to Wash our Hair when we have Braids?

Yes, you can definitely wash your hair when you have Braids.
Depending upon our lifestyle, we may wash our natural hair 2-3 times a week.
When you have Braids, you need to wash them less number of times than you usually do – only so that your Braids do not get messy soon.

  • Braids and Colours

Since the natural colour of our hair can be black , brown , light brown , dark brown , grey , white etc

While trying Braids with Extensions – since our Vibe and Style is different from one another, few of us may love going with Subtle colours and the rest of us may love Vibrant colours.

It’s a win-win either way.

Because you can play with as many colours as you want and experiment with your Hair Makeover time and again without causing any damage to your hair, what’s better?

  • Is it okay for any of us to have Braids irrespective of our Nationality?

Yes. It’s a Protective Hairstyle that has been tried by multiple human beings since the beginning. Braids are also created as a Style Quotient or to look Neat and Presentable.

Braids do not belong to a specific Culture or Region. It’s a myth.

It’s a Free World and now is the time to try what you have been wanting to, otherwise when would you do it?
No one wants to look back and regret not trying what they really wanted to, especially when it’s a harmless thing to try.

Live with love and let live. Make the most of this life and all the beautiful opportunities it holds. Enjoy
