How to Install Pre-Sectioned Human Hair for Boho Braids (Step-by-Step Guide)

Boho braids have become one of the most popular protective styles thanks to their effortless blend of braids and soft curls. But anyone who’s ever tried creating this look knows the struggle: uneven curl sizes, shedding, bulky extensions, and a long braiding process.

That’s why the new pre-sectioned, pre-separated human hair extensions with extended threading are a game changer. In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how they work, how they differ from traditional crochet hair, and how to install them for flawless, long-lasting boho braids.

What Makes This Hair Different?

Before diving into the tutorial, let’s clarify the major difference between regular crochet hair and this new version designed for boho braids.

1. Regular Crochet Hair

• Comes with short thread

• Designed to be crocheted directly onto your cornrows

• Doesn’t offer the structure needed for boho braids

• Can easily tangle or shed when used incorrectly

2. New Extended-Thread Human Hair for Boho Braids

This is the innovative part.

• Comes with a much longer built-in thread

• Made from 100% human hair

• Pre-sectioned and pre-separated, so every curl is identical in thickness

• Eliminates bulk and shedding that usually comes with human hair bundles

• Speeds up the braiding process because each section is already measured

• Ideal for creating consistent boho curl pieces throughout your braids

• Can be reused multiple times with proper takedown

Because the thread is long, it cannot be used for traditional crochet installs—the loop would be too long. But for braids? It’s perfect.

What You’ll Need

For this style, the creator used:

• 1 pack of Xpression braiding hair, cut into four sections

• Pre-sectioned 100% human hair curl extensions with extended thread

• Comb, mousse, shine spray, edge control (optional)

• Clips for separating and organizing hair

Pre-sectioning is key. Since the extension hair already comes separated into equal pieces, you won’t have uneven curls or thick-and-thin strands throughout the style.

Why This New Extension Is a Game Changer

This type of hair solves several long-standing boho braid problems:

✔ Even Thickness

Every curl is the same size, giving you a polished and uniform finish.

✔ Zero Shedding

Unlike bulk human hair that sheds everywhere, this version stays intact thanks to the guideline thread.

✔ Faster Braiding

The built-in thread keeps curls organized and easy to add as you braid.

✔ Reusable Curls

After takedown, the curls can be stored and reused for your next install—saving money in the long run.

✔ Perfect for Boho Aesthetics

Soft, natural curls blend beautifully with braids for that signature boho look.

How to Install Boho Braids Using Pre-Sectioned Human Hair

Step 1: Prep Your Braiding Hair

Cut the Xpression braiding hair into four equal sections. Stretch and separate if needed.
Keep each section organized to avoid tangling.

Step 2: Prepare the Human Hair Curls

The human hair comes already pre-separated, so no additional prep is needed.
Each strand has a guideline thread keeping it uniform and ready for quick installation.

Step 3: Start Braiding

Begin braiding as you normally would with your braiding hair.
When you’re ready to add a curl:

1. Take one pre-sectioned curl.

2. Insert it into the braid at your desired height.

3. Continue braiding while letting the curl hang freely.

Because the thread keeps everything intact, the curl won’t frizz or shed.

Step 4: Repeat Throughout Your Head

Keep adding curls to create the signature boho look.
Since the curls are evenly sized, your final style will look professionally done.

Step 5: Final Touch-Ups

Finish with:

• Mousse to tame flyaways

• A little shine spray

• Edge control if you like a polished hairline

How to Reuse the Curls

One of the best features of this extension is its reusability.

Here’s how to preserve them:

1. Go to a salon or stylist experienced with boho braid takedowns.

2. They’ll carefully remove each curl without tearing the thread.

3. Store the curls in a clean, dry bag.

4. Reinstall whenever you want another boho look.

This makes the investment completely worth it.

Conclusion

If you love boho braids but hate dealing with shedding or uneven curls, these pre-sectioned human hair extensions are worth every penny. They make the braiding process faster, neater, and easier—and the final look is flawless every time.

Whether you're installing the style yourself or heading to a stylist, this new hair type is a beautiful upgrade from traditional boho braid methods.
