Box Braids Near You: Sizes, Lengths & Style Options

Box braids are a classic protective style that has stayed popular for decades, and they're available at Braids by Favor in Crystal, MN. The name comes from the square-shaped sections the braids are installed in, which create a neat, even pattern across the scalp. They can be done in many sizes — from jumbo and large to small and fine — and in lengths ranging from short to waist-length, so there's a box braid look for nearly every preference. Because the braids are rooted with a small knot, they tend to feel slightly firmer at the scalp than knotless styles, though a skilled braider will always work within your comfort level. If you're comparing options, our guide to knotless vs. box braids breaks down the differences. Explore the service on our services page and book your appointment in Crystal.
