Bohemian Braids: What Hair Do You Need? A Complete Guide

Bohemian braids, also called boho braids, are a beautiful and versatile style that combines traditional braids with loose, curly, or wavy pieces of hair. The result is a softer, textured look that can be customized for different lengths, colors, and braid sizes.

If you’re considering bohemian braids in Marietta, Georgia, one of the most important things to know before your appointment is what type of hair you need.

What Are Bohemian Braids?

Bohemian braids are typically created by incorporating loose curly or wavy hair throughout the braided style.

The loose pieces create the signature boho appearance and give the hairstyle movement and texture.

You can customize the style with different braid sizes, lengths, colors, and curl patterns.

What Hair Do You Need for Bohemian Braids?

The type and amount of hair you need can depend on the size and length of your braids and how much loose hair you want incorporated into the style.

Common options include:

● Loose deep wave hair

● Loose wave hair

● Deep curly hair

● Burmese curly textures

● Other soft curly or wavy human hair textures

Human hair is often a popular choice for the loose pieces because it can provide a natural-looking finish and can be maintained and restyled.

How Much Boho Hair Do You Need?

The amount of hair needed depends on your desired braid size, length, fullness, and how much curly or wavy hair you want showing throughout the style.

Longer and fuller styles generally require more hair.

If you’re unsure how much to purchase, it is best to confirm the amount with your braider before buying your hair.

Where Can You Get Boho Hair?

If you need boho hair for your next appointment, you can visit the Magic Hair Line page on the Magic Hands Studio website to shop available boho hair options.

Shopping for your hair in advance can make it easier to arrive prepared for your appointment.

Before purchasing, make sure you select the texture, color, and length that match the bohemian braid style you want.

How to Choose the Right Boho Hair Texture

Your choice of texture can significantly change the final appearance of your braids.

Loose Wave

Loose wave creates a soft, relaxed appearance and works well for clients who want a subtle bohemian look.

Deep Wave

Deep wave provides more defined waves and creates a fuller, textured finish.

Curly Hair

Curly textures create a more dramatic boho appearance with noticeable curls throughout the style.

The best texture depends on the look you’re trying to achieve.

Should You Choose Human Hair or Synthetic Hair?

Both human hair and synthetic hair can be used for different braided styles.

Human hair is often chosen for bohemian styles when you want the loose pieces to have a more natural appearance and greater styling flexibility.

Synthetic options may also be suitable depending on your desired look and budget.

If you’re unsure which option is best, ask your braider before purchasing.

How to Prepare for Your Bohemian Braid Appointment

Before your appointment:

● Wash and properly detangle your natural hair.

● Avoid excessive product buildup.

● Confirm the braid size and length you want.

● Save a photo of your desired style.

● Confirm whether your stylist provides braiding hair.

● Confirm how much boho hair you need.

● Purchase your hair ahead of time if you are responsible for bringing it.

Being prepared can help your appointment run more smoothly.

How to Maintain Bohemian Braids

Because bohemian braids include loose curly or wavy hair, the loose pieces may require additional care.

Protect your hair while sleeping with a satin or silk scarf or bonnet. Avoid excessive manipulation and gently separate the loose pieces when needed.

You can also follow the care recommendations for the specific hair texture you purchased.
