#1: Grey Cornrow Bob With Twisted Ends
Here’s an easy way to achieve a quick evening look without long heavy braids! Short cornrows accented with twisted corkscrew extensions are simple to maintain. There is essentially no fringe that falls, and the style holds itself in place and stays close to the head. Women who like to have short styled hair and want to protect their hair from the elements, this is perfect for them. The tips have movement, but are not stiff.

#2 Silver Cornrow Braids With Beaded Ends
Cornrows in the middle of the back of the head are accented by brightly colored beads. Hair beads give this braid personality and help keep the sides from falling, as the extra weight pulls the braid down. This style works well with gray hair because of the silver blend with the natural gray hair. Because each braid is accented by PC tips and hair beads, this style makes more noise and more movement than a traditional hairstyle. This should also be taken into consideration when choosing this style.
#3 Half-Up Micro Box Braids With Top Knot
I have small dark brown knots on top of micro box braids. The first few hours (8+hrs) of getting them done are the worst for the hairline. Micro box braids take the longest to do, but look the best and hold a style. Small braids give less tension to the edges so you can be less concerned with your edges getting pulled out. Plus, this style allows you to pull your hair back half way so you don’t have to pull your hair all the way back.
#4 Two Large Cornrow-to-Curl Pigtails
This style has two-braided cornrow partings with long and tight curly extensions. The side extensions go past the chest while the center part has no extensions and face framing tendrils. There is movement in this style that other styles may lack. It has a fast installation compared to other styles since this style only has two braids. It is intended for people interested in protective styles but do not wish to sit for a lengthy period of time for the installation.
#5 Silver Box Braid Bob With Side Part
A bob with a deep side part and small gold rings on the accents may take a bit more technique to pull off, but is still relatively easy to style. This bob’s gray extension color grows out naturally from the root, so it will look like you have been sporting that beautiful gray hair for some time. This bob length is a great choice, as it is very lightweight and easy to wear each day. The small to medium braids give this look plenty of shape and structure when worn with a bob.
#6 Medium Box Braids With Curly Ends and Silver Cuffs
The braided style pairs loose curls with the face framing the rest of the hair in a bohemian, low bun style from the back of the head. No tool are required to put this style together, because you can let the curly ends down and put a braid along the side of your head. This style then offers the option of either wearing the braid to the side or keeping it tied up at the back of your head. Because of the style’s use of loose curls, this requires maintenance, since the curls have to be moisturized several times a week, so remember to sprinkle some Hair mousse on this style every day.
#7 Long Black Fulani Box Braids With Gold Cuffs
Fulani braids looking effortless with gold cuff braid inserts. These strategically placed cuffs ensure every braid is non uniform. These can quickly be installed because of their size and therefore less tension on the scalp. These are considered a great protective style to sleep in because of the loose fit, but can be worn with a bonnet for additional protection.
#8 Blonde-Highlighted Cornrows With Long Curly Extensions
Blended curly extensions, past the chest, with honey blonde and brown mixed color and cornrows. This texture and color combination will pop! The extensions have a warm blonde color that shines, almost like foil highlights. The braid lightener effect is a safe way to add color and dimension to your hair. It doesn’t require dying natural hair. The extensions should have an ordered curl pattern. If the extensions twist in the opposite direction of the cornrow, there will be a clear disruption in the appearance of the hair.
#9 Half-Cornrow Half-Box Braid Bob With Swirl Detail
A box braid bob with a chin length tuck on one side with an added cornrow swirl. This is a fun way to enjoy box braid bobs. The asymmetrical features add even more flair than your average box braid bob. This style is great for rounder face shapes since the length and angle of the chin helps create definition and angles. This bob may require more upkeep though, since one side is made of cornrows and the other is made of box braids, so cornrows would have to be done first.
#10 Shoulder-Length Black Box Braid Bob
A loose shoulder looks good with a braided thin braid bob. Braids tangle less than bigger braids. Small size leads to a full braid. This also helps with the short time it takes to do it. Braids are great for long hair because they hold your hair out of your long clothing to prevent it from getting stuck underneath your collar or bag or coat. Small braids still take around 3-4 hours to complete.
#11 Medium Knotless Box Braids With Curly Bohemian Ends
This cool mid-back length black knotless braid has a side lean and has a section that’s boho-curly. The style balances the amount of time you have to install and the overall size of the braids. The curly sections of this style will frizz before the braids loosen, so this style actually lasts as long as the curls. Finger-detangling the curly sections and applying leave-in conditioner to the curly sections will help to avoid build up of products and will help the style last longer.
#12 Waist-Length Dark Brown Passion Twists
Dark brown passion twist style that extends past the waist. The mix of dark and light browns brings warmth to this style. Passion twists at this length keep volume and look natural at the roots. Be careful of pulling at sensitive areas of your scalp because it may aggravate those who have thinning scalp/sensitive skin. Those with sensitive skin should hold on from styling this length until their scalp is fully healed or opt for shorter styles.
#13 Black Knotless Braids With Curly Ends and Wavy Tendrils
A long, black knotless braid with wavy face framing tendrils is an awesome style for the summer! When you do a braid out hairstyle, the looser pieces framing the face create a style that is less of a braid out and more casual, which is a nice look. Knotless box braids have less tension on the hair edges than regular box braids, which makes them a better choice for frontal hair thinning. The tendrils do need to be refreshed daily, but all you need for that is water and gel.
#14 Center-Part Goddess Braids With Waist-Length Curly Ends
Long braids on the crown of your head transition into long dark brown curly extensions that reach down past your waist. This style has just the right amount of brown and black. That actually matters and makes this style really dynamic. This style is great because of all the volume. This style length takes a lot of upkeep, so make sure to have some layer maintenance and a satin pillowcase. This style does make the front weigh down a lot, so be sure to tension the front edge of this style.
#15 Side-Swept Cornrows Into Long Senegalese Twists
A long side-parted style with protective cornrows to twisted braids with the ends curled. This style can keep flat hair from looking dull in the crown area, and the added length in twisted braids can provide movement. It’s a great option for ladies that prefer to go a few weeks without a braids touch up (4-6 weeks). Curls can stay fuchsia and defined with the aid of a satin bonnet, so wear one to bed at night.
#16 Radial-Part Fulani-Style Cornrows With Long Box Braids
This style features multiple long box braids that start with cornrows in the style. This style takes around 5 to 7 hours to do. This braiding style takes time and needs skill, so it is a bit pricey. This style can become itchy and flaky because the parts are dry. So to help with this, we recommend a light coating of oil on the scalp.
#17 Silver Shoulder-Length Loose Twists With Curled Tips
A hairstyle consisting of a side part with a braid that ends in twists. These braids are relaxed with a loose twist so they have some causality. The grey hair all around makes this style work best on someone who is fully grey. It is a simple style as it is long enough to be out of the way of the collar but short enough to not get all tied up while sleeping and causing you to have a bad hair day or two.
#18 Swirl-Parted Cornrows With Long Brown Senegalese Twists
Long dark brown Senegalese twist with curved cornrows featuring a crown parting. I like your design! The crown parting adds interest to the area people will look at first. Dark brown extension color on dark skin tones adds a warm tone and is less artificial compared to black. This will take a longer time to style than a normal straight back silk press because of the detail work to create the parting design.
#19 Grey Cornrow-to-Twist Bob With Spiral Ends
Grey cornrows with spiraled tips. The tips curl, giving hair a nice finished look, and grey looks great against her silver. Grey extensions that are more affordable tend to frizz and go gray more often. So if you specify gray braiding hair when you want it done in twists, curls will last longer.
#20 Chin-Length Chunky Black Two-Strand Twists
A thick two-strand twist is added to the center part and down to the chin. Thickness within the twists gives the face fullness without length. This style is a good option for fine hair because each twist has few strands, therefore low tension. This size and length of twists takes about 2 hours to complete the installation.
#21 Shoulder-Length Jet Black Senegalese Twists
This style incorporates a Senegalese twist. This means the tops have cornrows, and the rest has loose twists with fullness at the ends and flatness at the crown. It is ideal for beginners as it is not long and the weight is distributed from the scalp. The tips are brown, so they break the black, which leaves a more natural look rather than having to dye black hair.
#22 Tight Stitch Cornrows Into a Single Low Braid
A nearly scalp level stitch to construct cornbraids in a single braid at the nape. This stitch is great because it looks neat and features woven texture without adding bulk, making it perfect for the workplace. Because cornrows are so close to the scalp there is literally nothing to fall on the wearer’s face. Individual full braids take longer to install, so these take less time to install.
#23 Grey Goddess Braids With Curly Loose Ends
This style has gray braid with loose curls on the side Bryanning them together into a cascade. The top is braided, while the bottom is curled to give it volume, texture, and overall a more balanced look. This style keeps your head from feeling heavy. It’s a lot easier to maintain because it is natural hair, which is gray braid, and gray curl hair, which is used to style it. This is a low maintenance style that you can maintain by using a leave-in conditioner spray between washes. This helps keep your hair curls hydrated and maintaining this hairstyle longer.
#24 All-Grey Straight-Back Feed-In Braids
A fine, straight-back feed-in braid that hits right at collarbone level. Matching braid hair to your natural grey hair conceals the growth of your braid. This braid thickness works great for fine edges because it does not put too much tension. You should have the braid placed loosely in the front of the forehead to conceal the most highlighted area of thinning hair.
#25 Waist-Length Brown and Pink Marley Twists
Warm brown Marley twists installed to hip length with accents of pink throughout the style. To some people, pink and brown might be a little random, however, pink accents work well with a brown base. I enjoy this style a lot because the base color of brown is very elegant and prevents this style from looking costumey. This particular color palette is very timeless with elders, as it’s not a permanent change in hair color, and it’s done as hair extensions. Accent pieces can even be added as extensions at the braiding shop. Draw guidelines for your braiding artist of how and where you’d like the pieces to be placed.
