Box Braids & Knotless
From mid-back to butt length — protective styles in every size, custom-fit to your hair and lifestyle.
At Kylie Braiding, box braids and knotless braids are our specialty. Whether you want a bold jumbo look, a sleek mid-back style, or waist-length knotless braids that flow naturally, we create every set with clean parts, consistent sizing, and a finish that lasts.
Knotless braids are installed with a feed-in technique that creates a flatter, more natural start — with less tension on your scalp. Box braids use a traditional knotted root for a slightly more structured look. Both styles protect your natural hair while letting you express your personal style.
Every appointment begins with a quick consultation to help you choose the right length, size, and finish for your hair type and lifestyle.
Choose from our full menu of box braids and knotless styles. Every price is a starting point — final cost depends on length, size, and hair density.

Everything you need to know before booking your box braids or knotless braids appointment.
How long do box braids and knotless braids last?
Typically 4 to 8 weeks with proper care. Knotless braids often last slightly longer because there's less tension at the root.
What's the difference between box braids and knotless braids?
Box braids are installed with a visible knot at the root, while knotless braids use a feed-in technique that creates a flatter, more natural-looking start with less tension.
How should I prepare my hair before my appointment?
Come with clean, detangled, blow-dried hair. If you have buildup or product residue, please wash beforehand.
How long does an appointment take?
Box braids and knotless braids take 3 to 5 hours depending on length and size. Waist and butt length styles take the longest.
Can I choose the size of my braids?
Yes — from jumbo to small. We'll help you pick the right size based on your hair density and the look you want.
Do you provide the hair extensions?
Hair extensions are typically not included in the service price. Please bring your own or ask us before booking.
