Boho braids are known for their soft texture, free-flowing curls, and effortless look—but installing them with loose bulk human hair can be tedious. Strands fly everywhere, the hair tangles easily, and finishing each braid often requires trimming stray pieces.

Y Wigs’ new 18-inch Loose Deep Wave Feathered Bulk Human Hair solves all of that. In this tutorial, you’ll see how this feathered, crochet-style human hair helps you create neat, full, curly boho braids faster—and without knots, glue, or endless cleanup.

What Makes Ywigs Feathered Bulk Hair Different?

This version of Y Wigs human hair comes pre-attached to a long, 4.5-inch thread.
Unlike loose human bulk hair, the thread keeps each piece controlled and prevents flyaways.

Benefits include:

  • No loose hairs sticking out

  • Faster braiding

  • Beginner-friendly installation

  • Easy curl separation

  • Reusable (thread stays intact after takedown)

This makes it ideal for boho box braids, boho knotless, and boho feed-ins.

Materials Used

  • 5 packs of Ywigs 18” Loose Deep Wave feathered hair

  • Gummy edge control

  • Crochet hook (optional for concealing tracks)

  • Pre-washed human hair bundles for added fullness (optional)

Step-by-Step: How to Install Boho Braids With Feathered Bulk Hair

1. Prep Your Hair Sections

Divide your natural hair into three strands and braid down 2–3 times to anchor the braid.

2. Fold the Feathered Hair in Half

The long thread allows flexibility, but the creator prefers folding it in half so the thread spirals neatly.
This also keeps the curls aligned and easier to add.

Each “piece” contains two curly strands, so folding doubles your control.

3. Add Hair Using the Thread

Slide the thread between your fingers and:

  1. Pull out one curly strand

  2. Braid down

  3. Add another strand

  4. Braid down again

  5. Continue adding 5 pieces per braid (10 strands total) for a full boho look

The thread stays flat and hidden inside the braid.

4. Leave Curls Out as You Go

After each add-in, pull one curl outward to create that soft boho texture.

5. No Knot, No Glue—Just Braid Past Your Natural Hair

Once your natural hair ends, braid a little farther.
The braids stay secure without:

  • glue

  • knots

  • rubber bands

Everything holds because the feathered hair stays compact and controlled.

Why This Method Saves Time

Compared to bulk human hair:

  • No separating or detangling bundles while braiding

  • No trimming stray hairs afterward

  • No adding shine products to keep strands together

  • No flyaways

  • No restarting a braid because the hair slipped

This makes it ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a faster, neater boho braid install.

Adding Bundles for More Fullness (Optional)

The creator used two old human-hair bundles to add fullness in the back.
She quickly stitched the bundles along the braid perimeter for volume, then crocheted loose curls over the tracks to hide them.

This gives the style a natural, seamless finish—especially when the braids are worn down or in a side part.

Finished Look

The final result:

  • Soft, curly boho braids

  • Full volume from added bundles

  • Seamless curls with no frizz

  • A natural, lightweight finish

  • Curls that look “wet” even when fully dry

  • Easy takedown with reusable strands

The stylist also shows that when unraveling, each braid releases cleanly—the threaded curls slide right out with no tangles. Every strand stays attached to its thread, ready to reuse.

Conclusion

Ywigs’ feathered bulk human hair is a game-changer for boho braids. It combines the look of premium human hair with the convenience of pre-looped crochet hair—making it incredibly easy to install, wear, and reuse.
