35 Triangle Box Braids Styles

Box braids take their name from the box-shaped parts used to form each braid. But another popular method involves parting each section of hair into a triangular shape instead of a square or diamond shape. Today, triangle box braids are arguably just as popular as their box-shaped counterparts, and it’s not hard to see why: they have a really aesthetically pleasing look and it’s easy to create cute designs with the parts.
