This is everything a box braids bob is supposed to be. It’s an angled bob style that curls under the chin, just like the classic bob. That’s a flattering ‘do for just about anyone because it frames the face so beautifully and features the perfect length.
A bob with bangs is its own special look. The bangs add some precious youthful playfulness to the look, not to mention the way they accentuate those big, bright, beautiful eyes!

This bob is so cool! It is an absolute perfection from root to tip. The side part has a slimming effect which is a big plus for round faces. These braids are the ideal length for a face-framing ‘do that doesn’t need a single accessory to make it stand out.
@modernsalon
Longer braided bob hairstyles with square parts are amazingly versatile. Having this hairstyle, it’s easy to pull off both a middle and a side part and style dozens of different updos. Thin curly strands flowing along the braids create lush, enviable bulk that’s also manageable and free of frizz.

This half up half down bob braids hairstyle somewhat reminds us of Victory rolls, but it’s much easier to do especially if you have such a great base for it. Simply divide, twist and pin. This is a stunning way to style a braided bob for anyone who loves retro-inspired hairstyles.
@modernsalon
Many bobs tend to be chin-length, but there’s no saying they can’t be a bit shorter than that. The short bob pictured here is a modern update of the classic hairstyle. It also works as a pretty protective style for African-American hair.

Marvel at the perfection of these angled braids, the lovely color, and the beautiful silhouette of this bob. It has cornrows on one side and, thanks to the layers, it’s inverted. The asymmetry at the front provides beautiful ascending lines and makes the style edgy.
@justbraidsinfo
Pixie braids in a bob suggest unlimited options in styling because these braids are usually small and manageable. Sweep them to one side, throw them up into a half bun or braid the bangs… What else can you add? Some color – your favorite color or the one that compliments your skin tone.

It’s time to upgrade your short bob with an asymmetrical twist. Side-parted styles are sexy and chic, so why not try this awesome style with beautiful diagonal lines and shorter braids underneath? A couple of purple braids will make it brighter.
@jdivastyles
This box braid bob is full of style where every detail is considered. The braids start as cornrows and end as freely hanging tight plaits, sealed and curled under. Don’t hesitate to experiment and adorn your braided bob with highlights and accents. From colorful braiding hair to random faux locs – a fresh twist is always welcome!
@modernsalon
Thanks to the center part and the way these braids are carelessly thrown back, this is one bob that gives off a Boho allure. The beads add some glitz, and a few face-framing braids of a different color work as a lovely accent you may make noticeable or very subtle like in this example.
@modernsalon
Look how fun and vibrant this bob is in the photo! Imagine it in real life. Classic bobs are sleek and smooth, so why not shake it up a bit with the addition of caramel highlights and curls woven into the braids? This makes the braided bob look full of movement and volume.
@tekeirastyles
Once you get your new braided bob, you’ll be happy to wear those fun braids freely hanging for a while, but then you’ll wonder how else you can style them. Two Minnie Mouse buns are something simple and very girly-cute you can do within two minutes.
@modernsalon
Not only do short bob braids lend themselves well to the bob hairstyle, but they look gorgeous in vibrant, unexpected colors. Purple is a perfect choice, clearly, but almost any hue will work. It just takes confidence to pull off a sizzling, attention-grabbing hairdo like this.
@worldly.roxi
High buns and top knots offer an alternative to boring half-ponytails. Braided buns, in particular, are easy to create, plus, they open up the face. This is something that can effortlessly be achieved with bobs of any length and braid thickness.

Box braids in a bob are like natural locks only much more manageable and free of frizz. This bob follows the popular asymmetrical style, and the thickness of the braids adds some serious volume. The golden beads on the braids support the brightness of the style and highlight these beautiful dark eyes.
@cchairsalon_
One of the best things about braided bob hairstyles is that it’s more lightweight than traditional long box braids. So, it’s easy to opt for thicker knotless braids or some funny wooden beads. The beaded ends refresh this long bob letting it reveal another layer of personality.
@slayedinbraids
Here’s a fairly laconic bob style created with Senegalese braids – chic, chin-length, and elegant. The bob braids are parted in the middle and feature sassy bantu knots on the ends. Isn’t it beautiful?
@chayslaysme
Thanks to the thin box braids and curly hair extensions, this braided look gets a nice curly bob feel to it. Make the parting intentionally uneven for a messy bob vibe. You may also consider implementing face-framing layers or side-swept bangs – it will suit the hairstyle perfectly.
