Colorful Box Braids
Colorful Box Braids This classic '90s style is one of the easiest protective 'dos to maintain during the summer and it can be styled in multiple ways. Instead of doing them in your natural hair color, change it up by opting for braiding hair in an unconventional color like purple — as pictured on songstress Justine Skye. As for maintenance, make sure to cleanse your scalp biweekly and redo the braids after six to eight weeks of wear.
