Nineties style seems to be ever-enduring. From slip dresses and oversize blazers to pixie cuts and brown lipstick, it’s almost as if we never left the decade. Bob braids are no exception. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowing braids down to my butt. But there’s something so chic about a bobbed box braids look that makes me want to call up my stylist ASAP. And with Moesha back on Netflix, I’ve never had so much box braid style inspiration.
Shorter braids don’t mean they’re short on creativity or drama. Bob braids can be styled in so many ways and take quicker to install than standard long box braids. Give these cute protective styles one look and you’ll wonder why you didn’t try them sooner.
