Jumbo box braids are a bigger and thicker variant of the famous African-rooted protective hairstyle that divides natural hair into boxy shapes. They surpass other braided protective styles for several notable reasons.
They are totally low maintenance because fewer pieces are produced when creating bigger and thicker braids, and they can last up to three months, ultimately saving you time and money. These braids are stylish and attention-grabbing when paired with any outfit or styled with any fashion color and sparkling hair accessory.
Plus, these versatile braids can be pulled into any hairstyle you want! Just remember to have a daily moisturizing routine for healthier and more fabulous results.
Walk like a diva with these striking pieces flowing down your back! Here are awesome jumbo box braids hairstyles to recreate for your next protective style.

#21: Half Updo
I called this the half-up/half-down braid style or jumbo box braids in the back/cornrows in front. These can be done much smaller or longer if the client wishes. It’s always up to them to decide on the braiding. They are beautiful jumbo braids created on half of the head with feed-in cornrows in the front. The big and small braids give the hairstyle a cute contrast and design.
