Boho Braids with Body Wave Hair: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Perfect Look

Looking for a chic yet effortless hairstyle that’s perfect for the fall and winter months? Carol the Diva recently shared her process for creating stunning boho braids using Eayon Hair 20-inch body wave hair, and we’re breaking it down for you. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned braider, this tutorial is perfect for adding some flair to your look.

Why Boho Braids Are Perfect for the Season

Boho braids are lightweight and versatile and give you that laid-back yet polished vibe. Plus, they’re an excellent protective style for the colder months. The added body wave hair creates a natural, voluminous look, making them ideal for styling both casual and festive occasions.

What You’ll Need:

• Honair 20-Inch Body Wave Hair (Carol used 3 packs, but only used about 1 pack for this style)

• African Pride Gel (for clean parts and smooth edges)

• Mousse (to reduce frizz and add shine)

• Leave-in Moisturizer (Carol used Olive Oil Leave-In Moisturizer)

• Hot Water (for setting the ends)

• Hair Clips & Pins (to keep sections out of the way)

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair

Start by sectioning your natural hair into four sections. This makes the braiding process easier and more manageable, especially if your hair is longer. Apply some African Pride gel to your roots and use a comb to create clean, straight parts.

Tip: Trim your hair if needed before starting. Carol was impressed by her hair growth (a year and 4 months), so she didn’t need a trim but always keeps an eye out for split ends.

Step 2: Install the Braids

Carol chose medium-sized braids for this style. Here’s how to create each braid:

1. Take a small section of braiding hair and start a regular braid.

2. Add a piece of boho hair about 1–2 inches down from the root, and braid it down.

3. After about 2 inches, add another piece of boho hair, and repeat with a third piece.

4. You can adjust the number of pieces depending on how full or light you want the braids to be (Carol used 3 pieces for a lightweight feel, but you could add more if you prefer).

5. Pin or wrap the rest of the boho hair to keep it out of the way while you braid.

Tip: Keep the braids even by pinning up sections as you go. This technique makes it easier to keep the braids uniform and prevents confusion.

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches

Once your braids are done, it’s time to lock in the style:

• Dip the braids in hot water to seal the ends.

• Apply mousse to reduce frizz, especially around the roots and ends.

• Use a leave-in moisturizer to keep the hair hydrated and shiny.

Step 4: Style & Enjoy

Carol finished off her look by styling her hair in a high ponytail, bun, and experimenting with the braids styled to the side. The hair is super lightweight, making it easy to play around with different styles. This style is perfect for busy days when you need a quick yet elegant look.

Why You’ll Love This Style

• Reusable Hair: You can use the same hair for future styles as long as you handle it carefully. No need to cut the extensions!

• Lightweight and Comfortable: Carol mentioned that the hair felt very light, making it comfortable for all-day wear.

• Customizable Length: If you want longer braids, simply add more extensions to achieve a customized length.

Whether you’re heading to work, a special event, or just hanging out, this look is versatile enough for any occasion.
