Hey guys,
Just updating you on my most recent protective style, ombre box braids! I love, love, love this style and soon I’ll be posting different styles to put them in.
They are not the average length of typical braids because of the ombre that I added, so they are on the really long side, but I don’t mind. It gives me the opportunity to do different hair styles that I couldn’t do before as well as show case the cool color.
The hair that I used is regular kanekalon 2 & 33V. I used a common brand, I’m not sure which one, but its considered generic, plus it was 3 for $5 at my local beauty supply so I grabbed 9! Six of the braid hair was the color 2, which is the closest I can get to my natural hair color, while I bought three of the color red or 33V.
The reason I didn’t need as much red hair was because I only wanted the color on the tips, plus my method required me to cut each red pack in half, giving me six “short” packs of hair and letting me have enough to complete the braids.
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions, or if you’d like to see more styles and tips, follow me on Instagram 😊 @naywithazee
