Medium Full Boho Braids Tutorial Using Ywigs Burmese Loose Deep Wave Hair

If you’ve been searching for a detailed boho braids tutorial that shows exactly how to achieve a full, waist-length look with a natural curl pattern, you’re in the right place. In this post I’m breaking down my step-by-step process for installing medium-size boho braids using Ywigs Burmese Loose Deep Wave human hair bundles.

Why I Chose Ywigs Hair

I teamed up again with my favorite hair company, Ywigs, to create this look. They sent me three bundles of their double-drawn Burmese Loose Deep Wave hair (18 inches), and I purchased an extra half bundle to complete the style.

• Double drawn = thicker from root to tip, so you need fewer bundles than beauty-supply hair.

• Bundles are full, affordable, and offered in multiple curl patterns & colors.

• Ywigs also provides wholesale options for braiders.

Pro tip: I recommend the 20-inch bundles for even more fullness with fewer pieces added.

Preparing and Parting the Hair

1. Start at the nape: I always section the nape of the neck first. For medium braids, I created three rows here (4, 5, and then 6 braids per row depending on the client’s nape width).

2. Minimal boho hair at the nape: Because sweat and friction can tangle curls, I added only 4–5 boho pieces per braid in this area—enough to look natural when hair is pulled up.

3. Pre-part the top: I part ear-to-ear and pre-section 6 rows on each side (12 rows total) before braiding. This keeps everything neat and speeds up installation time.

Adding Length and Curl Pattern

• My client is tall, so I used 54-inch braiding hair and braided the human hair into the ends for extra length without extensions.

• Sealing the ends: tie a knot, add a small hidden dab of nail glue, and wrap twice over the knot to prevent white residue.

Because this is a loose wave pattern, braiding the human hair into the ends matches the curl better than trying to perm-rod it afterward.

How Many Boho Pieces Per Braid?

Here’s a guide for those who like exact numbers (I usually eyeball it):

Add a boho piece every ½–1 inch down the braid to build fullness. With 3 Ywigs bundles, you can easily achieve this density.

Understanding Single, Double & Super Double Drawn Hair

• Single drawn: more filler hairs, tapered, needs more bundles.

• Double drawn (my go-to): thicker, heavier, fewer fillers, full look with fewer bundles.

• Super double drawn: the fullest option, almost no filler hairs, higher price point.

Knowing the difference helps you match the fullness you see in tutorials.

Time & Maintenance

This style took me 7–8 hours (I’m a fast braider—expect ~8 hours for most).
Clients love the loose-textured boho braids because they’re easier to manage and don’t wrap around the braids like deep wave hair does.

The Finished Look

We achieved a middle- or side-part “bust down” style with extra length and volume—perfect “Bora Bora” inspired braids. After dipping, the curl pattern loosened slightly, which my client actually preferred for a tamer finish.
