How to do the versatile boho braided mohawk
Here’s a step by step picture tutorial.
Step 1
Start by parting the hair down the middle and then parting additional sections on each side.
Step 2
After parting a section on each side, do two cornrows.
The hair that’s sectioned here is where the boho knotless braids will be done.
Step 3
Section the hair into your desired parts and start doing your boho knotless box braids.
Step 4
Your knotless braids should be in the middle and look like this.
If you want them to be fuller, part a bigger chunk of hair in the middle and do smaller boho knotless braids.
Step 5
Section the hair on both sides into three equal triangle parts or more if you’d like.
This is where you’ll do the freestyle curvy stitch cornrows braids. Think Alicia Keys inspired braids fit into the triangle parts.
Step 6
The freestyle curvy stitch cornrow braids should look like this.
Step 7
Your end product should look like this. Boho knotless braids in the middle and freestyle curvy feed in stitch braids on either side.
