Boho braids are knotless braids with curly hair left out along the length of each braid, creating a soft, beachy, free-spirited look.
Boho braids (sometimes called bohemian or goddess knotless braids) are a variation of knotless braids where the braider leaves loose, curly hair flowing from each braid instead of braiding it all the way to the end.
The curly pieces are usually water-wave or deep-wave human or synthetic hair. They''re looped into the braid every few inches so the curls cascade naturally between sleek braided sections — giving the style its signature soft, romantic look.
**Best for**
- Anyone who wants a knotless install with a less uniform, more textured aesthetic.
- Summer, vacations, photo shoots, and weddings — the curls move and catch light.
- Clients with 3b to 4c natural hair (the curly add-in blends with most textures).
**What to know**
- Install time runs 6 to 9 hours; expect higher pricing than standard knotless.
- The curly sections need to be dipped in hot water after install to set the pattern.
- Lifespan is typically 4 to 6 weeks — slightly shorter than plain knotless because the loose curls tangle as they age.
Refresh the curls with a leave-in spray and a wide-tooth comb every few days to keep the boho look photo-ready.
