Looking for boho braids without synthetic hair? If you have a sensitive scalp or simply prefer a softer, more natural texture, this tutorial will show you exactly how to achieve lightweight, voluminous boho braids at home using 100% human hair from Ywigs.
Why Choose Human Hair for Boho Braids
Most crochet and boho braid styles rely on synthetic hair, which can irritate sensitive scalps. Using human bulk hair means:
-
A soft, natural texture that blends beautifully with your own hair.
-
Movement and flow just like your real hair.
-
Lightweight wear with less tension on the scalp.
-
Easy maintenance—wash, condition, and style as desired.
The Hair I Used
For this look, I used Ywigs Spanish Curl Human Bulk Hair in 20-inch length. I ordered five packs but only needed three for a full, voluminous style. The tight curls add natural volume and a gorgeous boho vibe.
Ywigs is truly a one-stop shop for protective styles—from crochet hair and wigs to frontals, bundles, and human bulk hair.
Prep Before Braiding
-
Pre-twist or stretch your natural hair if desired.
-
Apply gel and section your hair in advance. This makes the feed-in process smoother.
Step-by-Step Installation
-
Start with Your Natural Hair: Begin braiding your hair first.
-
Feed in Human Hair: After about three braid rotations, feed in small pieces of the Spanish curl hair for volume.
-
Add More for Volume: I added four to five curls per strand and two extra pieces at the ends for fullness.
-
Secure the Ends: Take a small piece of hair, tie it in a knot a few times, and seal with a dab of black hair glue (it blends better than nail glue). Trim flyaways with scissors.
Styling & Maintenance
-
Washing: After installing, wash and condition the braids. Use a stocking cap over your scalp to minimize irritation.
-
Finishing Products: Apply Lotta Body foam mousse and a light oil (like BioSilk) to set the curls.
-
Versatility: Wear your boho braids in a ponytail, side part, middle part, or half-up/half-down. The curls give a “sew-in” look with the freedom of individual braids.
Wear & Comfort
These braids are extremely lightweight—no heaviness or pulling like some synthetic styles. Installation takes time (I split it into two days because my arms got tired), but the result is worth it: soft, natural, voluminous boho braids you can style however you want.
Conclusion
I’m in love with these human-hair boho braids. They’re perfect for anyone with a sensitive scalp or looking for a natural protective style.
