Boho braids take structured braiding and soften it, with curly pieces left loose around the face and mixed through the length. It’s polish that doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard.
These are the twelve boho looks I reach for most.
Curly Money Pieces Around the Face
Leaving a few curly pieces loose around your face softens the whole style instantly, it’s the single detail that makes boho braids read as boho.
Loose Boho Curls Throughout
Curly extension pieces woven through the length, not just at the face, give the whole braid a fuller, more textured look than a plain straight braid.
Boho Braids With a Middle Part
A middle part keeps the boho softness from looking messy, giving the style a bit of structure without losing the effortless feel.
Boho Half-Up Style
Pulling the top section up while leaving the rest down keeps the curls visible and your face open, a good option for warmer days.
Boho Braids With Gold Accessories
A few gold cuffs or beads placed through the braids elevate the whole look without taking away from the soft, natural boho feel.
Boho Braids for a Beach Day
Boho braids hold up beautifully in humidity and water, honestly one of the best protective styles for a beach trip or vacation.
