Today's style, box braids on natural hair with extensions will also be using the rubber band method. Let's get started!

Hair Used

The Jumbo Box braid hairstyle is a protective style for natural hair. On my 4c natural hair its often necessary to braid it to keep it from tangles. I used ombre kanekelon hair from the local beauty supply store.

The brand evades me because its not a popular brand, however the color is really pretty so I decided to go with it.

Time to Create this Style
