The 10 Viral Braiding  Styles To Try  

1. Fulani Braids

Inspired by the Fulani people of West Africa, this style features cornrows with intricate patterns, often accessorized with beads or cowrie shells. A center part and side-swept braids gives this classic braid a modern twist.

2. Butterfly Locs

This style is a softer, more ethereal take on traditional locs.  These weightless, wavy, lightweight braids use crotchet or hand twist technique to mimic butterfly wings. They’re perfect for if you’re going for a bohemian but polished vibe.

3. Knotless Box Braids

10 Trendy Braiding Styles to Try in 2025

Gentler on the scalp than traditional box braids, knotless braids start with your natural hair and gradually feed in extensions for a seamless, natural look. The result? A seamless “grown-out” look that’s easy to style.

4. Feed-In Passion Twists

10 Trendy Braiding Styles to Try in 2025

This is a miix of twists and braids and this particular style uses the feed-in technique (adding hair gradually) for a fuller, more natural appearance. This is a great alternative to Senegalese twists if you’re looking for something different.

5. Ghana Braids (Banana Braids)

These are sleek, geometric cornrows that sweep backward into a ponytail or bun. They’re bold, regal, and perfect for a protective style with an edge.

6. Lemonade Braids (Side-Swept Cornrows)

Popularized by Beyoncé, these braids are styled to one side, creating a glamorous, face-framing effect. Opt for jumbo braids if you’re feeling bold or better yet, micro sizes for a subtle effect.  Remember to use a satin scarf at night to preserve the side parts for longer.

7. Stitch Braids

Stitch braids are basically ultra-neat cornrows with a “stitched” parting for a futuristic, high-fashion aesthetic. Often styled in creative designs or paired with colored extensions.

8. Poetic Justice Braids (Long Box Braids)

You could say this is a nostalgic throwback to Janet Jackson’s iconic look, these waist-length box braids are making a comeback for a bold, carefree statement.

9. Goddess Braids (Thick Cornrows with Curly Ends)

Goddess braids are simply thick, raised cornrows paired with loose, bouncy curls at the ends for a romantic, goddess-inspired finish.

10. Micro Braids (Boho Micro Braids)

10 Trendy Braiding Styles to Try in 2025

These super-thin, lightweight braids that offer endless styling options—buns, ponytails, or half-up styles reportedly take about 6 hours to make. But hey, with the vast option of ways to style them, I think it’s worth it. Plus, they’re long-lasting too.

Final Tips for Choosing Your Braid Style:

  • Consider hair health: Opt for knotless or feed-in styles if you have fine or fragile hair.
  • Accessorize: Beads, rings, and cuffs can elevate any braid.
  • Maintenance: Keep your scalp moisturized and protect edges with silk scarves
