In case you haven't seen my latest Insta post, I recently got knotless box braids. It's been a minute since I've had my hair braided and I almost forgot why I love it so much—you're able to experiment with so many different looks, all without manipulating your natural hair. Honestly, thank you to the hair gods for protective styles. And even though I'm super into the half-up, half-down look right now, I'm always on the look out for ways to play around with my box braids.
