These 15 Jumbo Box Braids Are Just Incredible

Jumbo box braids are a bigger and thicker variant of the famous African-rooted protective hairstyle that divides natural hair into boxy shapes, and they surpass other braided protective styles for a number of notable reasons.

They are totally low maintenance because fewer pieces are produced when creating bigger and thicker braids, and they can last up to three months, ultimately saving you time and money. These braids are very stylish and are literally attention-grabbing when paired with any outfit or styled with any fashion color and sparkling hair accessory.

Plus, these sexy versatile braids can be pulled up into any hairstyle you’d want! Just never forget to have a daily moisturizing routine for healthier and more fabulous results.

Walk like a diva with these striking pieces flowing down your back! Here are awesome jumbo box braids hairstyles to recreate for your next protective style.

Half Up Bun

Q&A with style creator, Tiffany Shuler

How would you describe this look?

This style is considered as jumbo box braids. It’s a trendy take on box braids, a popular hairstyle in the African American culture. What I like about this style is its versatility. It can be dressed up or down!

Any advice for someone considering it?

Box braids of any style are considered protective styles. They are not only for fashion but meant to tuck your hair away and aid in growth and retention. It also saves time with getting ready in the morning since there will be no need to do your own hair. This style can feel heavy during the first week of wearing it. There can be some tension when getting this style, but it’s important to communicate with your stylist to avoid being uncomfortable or in pain. It took approximately 8 packs of pre-stretched hair (brand: Lock’N Hold) to achieve this style.

How would you describe this look?

I called this the half up/half down braid style or box braids in back/cornrows in front. These can be done much smaller, if the client wishes, or longer. It’s always up to them to decide. They are beautiful box braids created on half of the head with feed-in cornrows in the front. The big and small braids give the hairstyle a cute contrast and design. What I love about this style is that it is very versatile besides having cornrows.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This style is suitable for any occasion, for the working class, and for party time. Women with any hair type or texture can rock this look. It is very easy to maintain, just sleep in a silk bonnet or scarf and it will last up to 4-6 weeks. Also, the scalp can be moisturized daily for extra protection and prevent dryness.

It can be worn as is in the picture or all down. It also can be braided into one braid and be accessorized. We can also create a full ponytail with the ends hanging for exercise moments or into a bun for a more corporate classy professional look.
