Box Braids parting is evolving, we cannot stress this enough! These are not your momma’s braids—these are much more intricate, stylish, edgy, colorful and everything in between. While traditional box braids got the name because of the boxed parts that stylists generally use, recently we are seeing more and more triangle parts. These make your braids look sleek, polished, and just bomb af!
Now it is obviously up to you which part you want when you are getting your box braids done. We love both of them because we have seen the best stylists slay these looks over and over again and it really is just a matter of personal preference. Both look great with knotless braids or traditional box braids. We are going to show you some of your favorites. Use them as inspiration so the next time you book your box braids appointment, you can go in confident to let your braider know which parting style you prefer.
