Do it yourself!
Anyone who wants to take the risk of doing a boxer braid - the one in which the hair is parted in the middle - should know that there are different ways and ties for the hairstyle.
Variations can happen in the way the braid is done and also in the mixture of the braid with other possibilities, such as a ponytail and even buns.
There is the traditional model - where the hair is braided from beginning to end. It is perfect for practicing sports and for those who need to keep their hairstyle very firm throughout the day.
There is also the inverted boxer braid - when the braid is done with the locks going under each other and not over it, as in the traditional model. It makes the buds looser, appearing more on top of the head.
Meet the different and devastating types of braids
If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, you can invest in the fish scale model - which is braided with just two strands. It's a little more difficult to get the hang of braiding, but the result is super different.

Another option is the boxer braid that ends at the back of the head - it is complemented with a ponytail. But the variations don't stop there. You can wear it with buns, curlers or loose hair.
The good news is that you can learn how to do the boxer braid at home. It's not that easy, but don't give up! With a little practice, you will gradually improve and at some point you will be doing the hairstyle with your eyes closed. A good tactic is to start braiding someone else and then try it on yourself.
