Step-by-step. 1  Brush your hair to remove any knots before you begin. 2  Gather all your hair into a high ponytail. 3  You can also do this as a side ponytail or low ponytail. 4  Split your ponytail into two equal sections and twist both sections to the left. 5  Wrap the left section over the right to form the rope twist.
2. Take a pinch of hair from the first section. Traditional box braids are pretty small, so all you need to do in order to get enough hair for the braid is to pinch a small section between your index finger and thumb.1  Most people find it easiest to start at the front section on your non-dominant side, but the choice is up to you.. Secure synthetic hair to this pinch, if desired. You can do box braids with either real, natural hair or extensions. If you plan to use synthetic extensions, now is the time to wrap a section of synthetic hair into your actual hair.
