ExploreBox braids are used by curly and curly girls for different reasons.

However, many people die of desire to leave the ends thinner and do not know what to do. Is it your case? Then check out the tips that Fica Diva separated for you!
Ask the professional not to braid the hair completely
Box braids are beautiful and very stylish, but they take a lot of work for you to venture out alone. Therefore, go to a specialized professional to make your cornrows. However, if the intention is to make the ends thinner, ask him not to braid the strands until the end.
This way, you can model them to your liking, not only to make the ends thinner, but also to form curls, if you want. This process can be done on both jumbo and kanekalon braids. Another tip is not to separate the material with equal sides, but leave it with one side longer than the other when braiding, so the ends are naturally thinner.
Make a capillary seal at the ends
As the ends of the box braids are loose at the end of the process, it is important to do a capillary seal to make them tighter and thinner. This technique is nothing more than a thermal shock, which "sticks" the wires and prevents them from fraying.
To seal, you only need a pot with very hot water and another with very cold water, if possible with ice cubes. So, just dip the ends first in the hot container and then in the cold, without intervals, repeating the process at least four times. It's important to have a towel nearby to dry the locks and, before doing the thermal shock, make sure that the material used can even be immersed in high temperature.
To form curls, bet on the mustudinho
If you prefer to curl the ends instead of making them thinner, that's okay. The process is almost the same, with the difference that you won't need cold water to seal the strands.
Also, before dipping the unbraided ends in hot water, you need to curl them with curlers first - whichever way you see fit. Then let the wires dry naturally and only then remove the accessories.
