Boho braids are everywhere right now. They’ve got that effortless, curly-meets-braided vibe that turns heads every time. But while they look carefree, getting the look (and styling it after) isn’t always so simple.
If you’ve been wondering how to achieve and actually how to style boho braids once they’re in, you’re in the right place.
Quick Faq
Can I wear boho braids to work?
Yes. Just pull them back or tie them up neatly. They’re easy to keep professional.
What about weddings?
They work for weddings, too. Add some accessories or curl touch-ups, and you’re good.
How long do they last?
Usually 4 to 6 weeks. The curls might frizz earlier, but the braids are fine if you take care of them.
How to Achieve Boho Braids?
You don’t need a salon visit to get boho braids—especially the knotless kind.
With a bit of time and the right hair, you can do it at home and still come out looking like you paid good money for it.
Here’s the basic idea:
- Start with your natural hair, sectioned and clean.
- Instead of doing the traditional knot at the root, feed in small pieces of hair as you braid down.
- This keeps the tension low and the braids flat against your scalp—more comfortable, more natural-looking.
For the boho effect, you’ll need curly pieces mixed in. That’s where QVR human hair bulk hair comes in.
It blends in smoothly, holds curl, and doesn’t have that fake shine some other brands do.
You can braid it in as you go or pull pieces out for the curly tendrils. Either way, the result is soft, full, and super natural.
And bonus—no stiff ends, no helmet hair. Just lightweight, flowy braids you can actually move around in.
