17 Classy Butterfly Box Braids You’ll Love
It isn’t easy to get butterfly braids right especially if you’re wearing them as box braids. Here are 17 classy butterfly box braids to guide you when installing the hairstyle.
Butterfly box braids are fast becoming one of the most popular hairstyles for ladies. We know this because the number of people constantly searching for the best-looking butterfly braids for inspiration has skyrocketed, and that’s putting it mildly. However, you don’t have to keep up with the objectively terrible butterfly braids you’re seeing online.
To help you get the best look without spending hours on research, I’ve conducted the necessary research for you. The following compilation of the 17 best butterfly box braids you’ll find anywhere on the internet is the result of my exploration. Without further ado, let’s jump in.
1. Braided Bun Butterfly Box Braids
A clever way to wear butterfly box braids for an excellent look when you have long hair is tying it up in a bun. I don’t have to praise how beautiful it looks, as you can clearly see for yourself. The downside? You can’t replicate the hairstyle with short hair; it just has to be long.
2. Mixed Colored Butterfly Box Braids
Colors can make or break your hair, but if you’re careful and skillful, the former will happen a lot more often than the former. Here’s an example of color making your hair look better, with the red working closely with the blonde to give the hairstyle a one-of-a-kind look.
3. Jumbo Butterfly Box Braids
Why make your butterfly braids tiny when they can look twice as good by increasing their size? You won’t also have to spend as much time braiding your hair to achieve an excellent look. However, you may have to do it twice as often, as jumbo butterfly braids don’t last as long.
4. Crochet Butterfly Box Braids
Butterfly box braids are awesome and crochet braids are equally so, but they’re not mutually exclusive. You can wear both at once if you choose to, and that’s what this model is doing in fact. As you can see yourself, it doesn’t look half bad!
5. Butt-Length Blonde Butterfly Box Braids
Sometimes, some extra length is all you need to add to your butterfly braids to make them as great as you want them to be. In this suggestion, the model succeeded in making the relatively normal look remarkable by simply making it butt-length.
6. Purple Butterfly Medium Box Braids
Butterfly braids are excellent in any color, but some colors clearly work better for them than others. One of the best colors to get medium butterfly box braids in is purple, as you can see from the image above.
7. Short Butterfly Box Braids with Beads
We’ve seen a couple of butterfly box braids earlier in this compilation and this is yet another one. Frankly, I never expected the style to look this good. Since this style already scores a 10 out of 10, adding beads to adorn the end will certainly break the scoring system.
8. Classic Black Knotless Butterfly Box Braids
You don’t have to wear your short knotless braids with beads if you don’t want to. The hairstyle naturally has a curly texture that keeps it beautiful without significant modifications, as you can see above. I’m also a fan of the side sweep; a hint if you’re looking to appear on my next compilation.
9. Ponytail Butterfly Box Braids
If the center and side partings look boring to you, you can tie your butterfly braids into a ponytail, ending up with an insanely alluring look. For an extra touch, leaving two strands to adorn the front like the model is doing here is another five-star move.
10. Red Butterfly Knotless Box Braids
This idea is more or less the same as the preceding one, but with a crucial difference: color. Colors can make or break your hairstyle, but here, I’m sure we can all agree on the kind of impact the red hair extensions have on her hair.
11. Long Gray Butterfly Box Braids
Talking about color, red isn’t the only color capable of looking adorable on butterfly box braids; for some, red is even disliked for its excessive vibrance. If you’re not into red hairstyles, this gray idea should work excellently for you.
12. Neat Edges Blonde Butterfly Box Braids
Grey may be a good-looking color, but it doesn’t look very natural. If you’re someone who prefers a color that looks a bit natural, blonde butterfly box braids are all you need. As for the neat edges, I won’t do away with them for a million bucks.
13. Brown Butterfly Box Braids
Still on colorful butterfly box braids, here is another great idea if your main keyword is “natural.” It’s not blonde; it’s an even more natural color, depending on your skin tone. If brown hairstyles tend to look great on you, this is definitely your thing.
14. Black and Yellow Butterfly Box Braids
Sometimes, you want to try colored hairstyles without doing away with the natural look of your real hair in the background. Here’s an adorable hairstyle idea that helps you achieve that by combining yellow hair extensions with black natural hair; a true five-star hairstyle.
15. Red Short Butterfly Box Braids
Red is one color that will always look natural on you regardless of the length of your hair. The model proves this theory with her short butterfly box braids that are not lacking in excellence, all thanks to a few packs of red hair extensions.
16. Simple Short Butterfly Box Braids
Short butterfly box braids can look great, even if they’re not in the color red. You don’t need any further proof for that, simply look at the image above and you should be sold. However, that doesn’t make red hairstyles mediocre, especially if you love your hair in the color.
17. Extra Long Red Jumbo Butterfly Box Braids
While the only example of red braids we’ve seen so far is short, you don’t need to install short braids to wear red. With something as adorable as this, I don’t think any more questions are necessary.
Conclusion
Butterfly braids always tend to look good, but looking good shouldn’t be sufficient for you. You should strive for the best look you can get, and a random hairstyle idea on Instagram won’t get you that. However, my compilation only accounts for the best available, so you have nothing to worry about.
