How to do boho knotless French Curl braids

Start by parting clean and stretched hair into your desired sizes using a rat tail comb.

Apply shine n jam to tame flyaways and to give you clean/well-defined parts.

Just like you would with regular knotless braids, start by plaiting the natural hair and feed in the French curl braiding hair gradually as you move along the length of the braid.

Depending on how many curls you want, leave out several small pieces of the hair you’re adding as you’re braiding it. This is how you create the boho look.

Once you have your desired length braided, tie a knot using a strand of the hair three to four times at the end of the braid leaving 4 to 6 inches of the curls out. This will make sure the braids don’t unravel.

You can also apply some glue to the strand of hair you’ll use to tie the knot to make it more secure.

“Where you tie the knot at the end of the braid is dependent on how long your hair is,” says Mariama, a Texas based Expert braider. “If your hair is long, you’ll want to make sure you braid a couple more inches below where your hair ends before tying the knot. This will ensure you won’t cut your hair when it’s time to take out the braids.”

Mariama also recommends using your previous braid as a reference for where to tie the knot on the next braid for uniformity purposes.

Repeat the same method all over the head until you’re done.

After you’re done, trim any flyaways using a pair of scissors and shape as desired.

Apply some mousse, lay your edges and you’re ready to rock your new hairstyle.

How to do boho layered French Curl braids

To get the layered French curl braids look, you’ll need to buy the French curl braiding hair in different lengths.

Ideal length mixtures can be 12″, 18″, and 24″ or 12″, 18″, 24″ and 30″.

You’ll then ask your stylist to use the 30″ hair at the back, the 24″ and 18″ mid-back and centre then the 12″ hair at the front.

The curly bits will then be trimmed as desired.

The end result will give you a nice layered look regardless of how you style them.
