Braiding Styles That Are Trending Right Now

Braids are more than a hairstyle — they're an art form. Whether you're looking for a protective style or a statement look, here are the braiding trends our specialists at Plaza Park are loving right now.

Knotless Box Braids

Knotless braids remain the go-to choice for their natural look and reduced tension on the scalp. They lay flatter, feel lighter, and give a more seamless appearance than traditional box braids. Ask your braider about medium or jumbo sizes for a quicker install.

Bohemian Goddess Locs

Boho locs combine the structure of faux locs with loose, wavy hair woven throughout for an effortlessly romantic look. They're perfect for spring and summer and can last 6-8 weeks with proper care.

Fulani-Inspired Braids

Fulani braids feature a distinctive pattern with a center cornrow and side braids, often adorned with beads or cuffs. This cultural style has become hugely popular for its versatility and visual impact. It's a great choice for anyone wanting a unique, eye-catching look.

Caring for Your Braids

Keep your scalp moisturized, wrap your braids at night with a silk or satin scarf, and avoid keeping braids in longer than recommended by your stylist. A good braiding specialist will advise you on the best maintenance routine for your specific style.
