Boxer braids are a popular hairstyle characterized by two tight, Dutch braids that are worn close to the scalp. This style is often associated with athletes, particularly boxers, as it keeps hair secure and out of the face during physical activities. The braids can be worn casually or dressed up for various occasions. The technique involves parting the hair down the middle and braiding each section in a way that the strands are woven under rather than over. This creates a raised effect, giving the braids a distinct look. Boxer braids can be customized with different sizes and patterns to suit individual preferences.
