Among the coolest trends of the moment, we definitely find boxer braids: thick braids that start from the top of the nape of the neck.
This type of hairstyle has a long history: it was used in the United States by African American women around the mid-1800s, until it became a must-have today.
They can be done in a thousand different ways, but the most popular boxer braids are of two types:
– French braided boxer braids: These are the classic braids, made with three strands of hair that are braided from the top of the head. For a simpler, evergreen look.
– Dutch braided boxer braids: the strands of hair are not placed on top of the previous ones, but are braided in reverse, from underneath, making the design of the braid more visible for a decidedly stronger look.
The trend of these hairstyles was especially raised by celebrities. It is impossible not to think of Kim Kardashian: she was the one who brought the trend into vogue; in Italy, instead, Chiara Ferragni chose a disheveled version perfect for a street style look.
