Box Braided updos are quick, easy and inventive. This is where you can be creative and style your braids differently every day. Moreover, braided updos are elegant and ideal for hot summer days. Pair them with strapless and halter styles of dresses and tops. We bet you'll love your box braids even more after trying some of the chic updos from this gallery.

Asymmetrical side updos, which “slide” to one side, look very appropriate in the office or in any other environment where you need to look very presentable. The easiest way to create such a style is to braid an upside-down braid, secure it to the side and tuck the ends in.

High, voluminous buns are a different story about braided updos. Most girls like to make them very high, almost to the hairline, although a large bun on the crown also looks fantastic. You can experiment with the shape, by making it higher or flatter, tighter or messier. A good idea is to divide your box braids into vertical rows and twist them before forming a statement bun.

Highlighted box braids give the simplest box braided updos a boost, as they accentuate every twist or curve, giving your braided mane even more attention. The most common colors for box braids are black and dark brown, which match the shade of your natural hair color, but as you can see, lighter box braids can also look very flattering.
