A variety of styles derived from bohemian braids will continue to dominate the market in the second half of the year. Styles that express personality and creativity are gaining traction as consumers desire to create their own unique style. Consumers are no longer just comparing prices. And it’s one of the main driving forces behind the continued popularity of bohemian braiding.

 

 

Braids and Human Hair, The Perfect Companion

Human hair for BOHO braids has been the market leader this year. Using human hair on the exposed areas of the braid, it brings a lightweight and sleek look, tangle-free. Human hair will continue to be popular because it can be dyed, heat-treated, and styled in a variety of ways.

-Bora Bora Braids

The Bora Bora Braids and the Bohemian Braids may look similar, but they are not the same. Bora Bora Braid has more human hair than braids hair, making it look like a wig, while the Bohemian Braid is the opposite. Wet & Wavy Human Hair can create a natural and luxurious look.

 

 

-Braids with Curly Ends

Braids with curly ends bring a full, colorful look. Braiding hair with uncurled ends can be worked on with Flexi Rods, Perm Rods, or Threads to create natural waves or tight curls.

 

 

-Point Curl Knotless Braid

You can create a focal point with a few loose strands of human hair at the front and side of your head and complete a hairdo with cornrows, updos, box braids, and fashion twists for a unique look.

 

 

-Half stitch Half knotless Braid

It combines tight cornrows on the top with bouncy curls below the ears for a unique diva vibe. This style can also be done with a half braid half sew in method, but more recently, crochet or human hair are braided together for a BOHO look.

 

 

 

 

 

Natural Multi Color Blending

Gradient colors like honey blonde and light brown are still popular, and red and ash are expected to take center stage in the second half of the year. With more and more customers opting for custom styles with many colors, human hair bulks with multiple colors in one pack in addition to a variety of color options for braiding hair are being introduced.

 

 

Fine-tuning the size selection “Smedium”

“Smedium” is the braid size that falls somewhere between Small and Medium. This style is popular because it takes less time than small-sized braids, is easier on the scalp, and offers more styling options and longer hold.

 

 

 

Knotless styles are all the rage

The use of human hair in braids and the increasing variety of colors and length options are driving up the price of braiding services. It typically starts at $150 and goes up to $800 for services from popular braiders. Customers are also finding themselves perplexed by the higher price of the service. In particular, getting long bohemian braids using human hair at a salon are largely unaffordable, so more and more people are opting for crochet or wigs that are more cost-effective and can be styled at home.

 

-Crochet

Often seen in crochet tutorials, “Illusion Crochet Braids” are an evolution of traditional crochet braiding, utilizing a braid pattern that is divided into small squares or triangles to hide the knots for crocheting. This style creates an optical illusion that makes it look like the hair is growing naturally from the scalp.

 

 

-Wigs

The long knotless braid lace wig in a small square shape is particularly popular. It strikes a great balance between affordability and style.
