Box Braids in St. Louis, MO
Box braids are one of the most popular and versatile protective styles in African hair braiding. At TJ’s Hair Braiding in St. Louis, we create box braids in a range of sizes, from jumbo to small, with careful attention to tension and neatness.
About this style
Box braids are created by sectioning the hair into square-shaped parts and braiding each section from root to tip, often with added braiding hair for length and fullness. The result is a durable, low-maintenance style that protects natural hair while offering a polished, finished look.
Who is this style for?
Box braids work well for most hair types and textures. They are a popular choice for anyone looking for a protective style that lasts several weeks and allows for versatile updos, ponytails, and half-up styles.

Keep your scalp moisturized with a lightweight oil or spray. Wrap your braids at night with a satin scarf or bonnet. Avoid excessive pulling or heavy accessories that create tension.
