Do it yourself!

Anyone who wants to take a chance on making a boxer braid – the one in which the hair is parted in the middle – should know that there are different ways and ties for the hairstyle.

Variations can happen in the way of braiding and also in mixing the braid with other possibilities, such as ponytails and even buns.

There is the traditional model – where the hair is braided from start to finish. It is perfect for practicing sports and for those who need to keep their hairstyle very firm throughout the day.

There is also the inverted boxer braid – when the braid is done with the strands passing under each other and not on top, as in the traditional model. It makes the gominhos looser, appearing more at the top of the head.

If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, you can invest in the fish scale model – which is braided with just two strands. It’s a little harder to get the hang of when braiding, but the result is super different.

Another option is the boxer braid that ends at the nape of the neck – it is completed with a ponytail. But the variations don’t stop there. You can wear it with buns, curlers or half-down hair.

The good news is that you can learn to do the boxer braid at home. It’s not that easy, but don’t give up! With a little practice, you will gradually improve and at some point you will be doing the hairstyle with your eyes closed. A good tactic is to start braiding someone else and then try it on yourself.
