Are you looking to switch up your look with something fun and unique? Box braids are the perfect option for you! Brown and pink box braids are an eye-catching style that will make you stand out from the crowd. They are easy to maintain, and you can create your own style with different braid lengths and colors. In this tutorial, we will show you step by step how to make your own beautiful brown and pink box braids.
Step 1: Preparation
Before you start braiding, you need to make sure that your hair is prepped properly. First, you will need to wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. This will help to remove any build up and make your hair more manageable. Next, you need to detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb. Make sure to do this carefully so you do not pull or tear your hair out. Once your hair is detangled, you can apply a leave-in conditioner to help keep your hair moisturized and prevent breakage.
Step 2: Parting
Once your hair is prepped, it is time to start braiding. Begin by parting your hair into small sections. You can use a rattail comb to help make the parts even. Make sure to leave some space between each section so that you can braid the hair properly. You can start with two sections on each side of your head, and then work your way up or down depending on how many braids you want in your style.
Step 3: Applying Color
Now it is time to add some color to your braids. For brown and pink box braids, you will need to use a hair dye that is specifically designed for braiding. Start by applying the brown dye to one of the sections. Make sure to cover the hair evenly and make sure that the dye is fully saturated. Once the brown dye is applied, you can add the pink dye to the other section. Again, make sure that the dye is evenly applied and saturated.
Step 4: Braiding
Once the dye is applied, you can begin braiding the sections. Start with the brown section and begin braiding using the same technique that you would use for regular box braids. Make sure to braid tightly, but not too tight, so that your braids will last longer. Once you have finished braiding the brown section, you can move on to the pink section and repeat.
Step 5: Finishing
Once you have finished braiding all of the sections, you can secure the ends with an elastic band. If you want your braids to last longer, you can apply a hair gel or wax to the ends. This will help to keep the ends neat and prevent them from coming undone. You can also add beads or charms to the ends of your braids for a more decorative look.
Conclusion
Brown and pink box braids are a great way to switch up your look without having to commit to a permanent hairstyle. They are easy to maintain and you can create your own style with different braid lengths and colors. With this step by step tutorial, you can now create your own beautiful brown and pink box braids.
