How to Create Boho Braids with Curly Ends

Braid damp hair loosely, leaving the bottom third unbraided, then curl those ends with a diffuser or curl cream for that perfectly undone bohemian texture.

1. Prep with texture. Start with damp hair and apply a texturizing spray or sea salt spray from mid-lengths to ends. This gives you grip and enhances natural movement. Skip the roots to avoid looking greasy.
2. Create loose braids. Divide hair into 2-4 sections depending on thickness. Braid each section loosely, stopping about 4-6 inches from the ends. The key is imperfection—let pieces fall out naturally.
3. Curl the ends. Apply curl cream to the unbraided ends, then either scrunch with a diffuser on low heat or twist small sections around your finger and let air dry. The contrast between braided and curly creates that effortless boho vibe.
4. Soften and finish. Once dry, gently tug at the braids to loosen them further. Run your fingers through the curly ends to break them up slightly, then mist with a light-hold hairspray for longevity without stiffness.
