#11: Rainbow Box Braids In a Ponytail

These are the brightest and most colorful box braids we have seen so far, definitely meant for those who want to stand out in the crowd. Add in a whole lot of pink, yellow, green, blue and other rainbow hues and you have exquisite box braids to work, which so easily win our hearts. The red adds the fighting spirit, while the other colors themselves speak of a stronger, more confident personality. It’s sexy and we all know it, meaning you should definitely go for some glaring bright colors to your hair this coming summer.

#12: Blonde Haystack Twisted Updo

Blonde highlights to the black hair? Why not? It’s a pretty fun look actually and can be used beautifully to show off the pretty box braids that take over the twisted updo look you hastily created. It allows the hair to stay together really, while the color combinations make it appear like hay has been braided in with the real hair. It is pretty awesome as it is.

#13: Double Trouble Retro Look

Double buns to the side of the head make this box braid hairstyle seem like it belongs in an anime series by the Japanese, except that it has been around since the ’90s and long before that in certain tribes around the world. The twisted buns allow for better balance on the head, shifting the weight about and allowing half to cascade down in a truly retro style.

#14: Volume with Purple Tinge

Box braids add in quite a bit of volume really, sleeking things out but still keeping up with the latest hairstyle trends. Adding a bit more bump to the crown can only make things look better, and when those box braids are a combination of medium and thin strands, adding in some color only brightens up the look. Purple hair with purple/coral makeup is just our cup of tea.

#15: Pink and Trendy Tree Braids

Micro braids are also known as tree braids and are really tiny when putting together. This style includes thicker box braids turning into micro braids, with most of the hair braided nearer to the roots, the strands falling in a glaring pink color that is very pretty to behold. Must be the Congo trend if the caption to the image has anything to say about it. Pulled up into a half up and half down high ponytail, it is certainly a style we can see ourselves enjoying, particularly since the pink is faux extensions added in.
