Triangle box braids are an alternative to box braids, where the hair is sectioned into triangles instead of boxy ones. Totally above average, these plaits are convenient and an easy idea to try!
These unrivaled braids were once worn by hair queens Zoe Kravitz and Teyana Taylor! Versatility is always present in box braids. From a top bun, chunky braids, or side-swept, you’ll always have choices to take your hairstyle to the next level.
Chalia Mangrum from Ohio designs snazzy braided looks, matching them with different accessories. “The main thing women get wrong is that your hair has to be blown straight or a certain texture.” She tells us this while reassuring us that triangle part box braids are for all hair textures.
Regarding maintenance, Chalia recommends a hair oil, an edge control, and a foam. “Use oil to keep your scalp from getting dry. The edge control keeps your edges slick and on fleek, and the foam helps control frizz,” she says. Wrap them up at night and don’t pull, which will loosen them up quicker. Following these tips will give you lovely plaits lasting about 4 to 6 weeks.

How would you describe this look?
This look is called the knotless bohemian box braids (triangle parts). First, I love this look because of the knotless beginning, which causes less tension and more flexibility when styling. Also, it gives a more natural look than the traditional box braids method, where the knot is visible. The bohemian hair attached to the ends gives this style a feminine and boho look, which my clients love most.
Any advice for someone considering it?
Triangle knotless braids are beneficial to our natural hair. For the initial install, there is no tension and strain on the hair, especially on the hairline, which is most females’ concern. Also, it’s low maintenance, and the versatility is amazing!
