17. Large Double Braids
Our next pick features a boxer braid look. It has the same double braids but these have been pulled so they sit very loosely. When you pull a braid out it makes it look voluminous and relaxed instead of neat and tight. This is a gorgeous hairstyle that will suit everyone. It would also be a great choice for anyone who hasn’t mastered the sleek boxer braid look.
