What are Boho Braids?

Boho braids which are short for bohemian braids, are a gorgeous and effortless type of curly braids. Upgraded from the classic box braids, boho braids are box braids with curly strands added in at various points of the braids. The more curly strands added, the more voluminous your hair will look. This creates a carefree and chic look. The length of time required to complete boho braids can vary depending on your hair texture and your preferred thickness of the braids.
