Boho
Braids.
The ultimate holiday braid. Structured box braids meet free-spirited curly ends — effortlessly romantic, endlessly versatile, perfect for Mauritius.
What Are Boho Braids?
Boho braids — short for bohemian braids — are a hybrid braid style that combines the structure and longevity of traditional box braids with a free-flowing, curly or wavy finish at the ends. The result is a style that feels both polished and effortlessly undone.
This is achieved by leaving the ends of each braid partially unplaited, or by incorporating curly crochet hair into the lower sections. The contrast between the tight braid at the top and the loose, flowing ends at the bottom is what defines the boho look.
Why Boho Braids Are Perfect for Mauritius
Boho braids thrive in beach and holiday environments. The style holds up beautifully against sea salt, humidity and sun — making them the number-one requested style from tourists visiting Mauritius. They photograph stunningly, suit every face shape, and feel light and comfortable in warm weather.
Many of our international clients book boho braids on arrival in Mauritius so they can enjoy them for the entire duration of their stay. We offer the service at our Beau Bassin salon or via mobile service to your hotel or villa anywhere on the island.
Customisation Options
Boho braids can be done in a wide range of sizes, from thin and delicate to chunky and bold. Colour options include natural shades, ombre gradients and highlighted ends. Curly end texture can be tighter or looser depending on your preference.

Common Questions
How long do boho braids take?
Depending on the size and length of the braids, a full set of boho braids typically takes 5 to 9 hours. Smaller, longer braids take longer to install but last further into the style’s lifespan.
Can tourists get boho braids done at their resort?
Yes — this is actually one of our most popular services. We travel to hotels and resorts across Mauritius. Simply WhatsApp us with your location, the dates you’re available, and your preferred style, and we’ll confirm a time slot that works for you.
Will boho braids hold up at the beach?
Absolutely. Boho braids are one of the most beach-friendly styles we offer. The braided section holds firm even when wet, while the curly ends add to the bohemian look after a swim. Just squeeze out excess water and let them air-dry.
What’s the difference between boho braids and knotless braids?
Knotless braids have a uniform braided look all the way to the end. Boho braids leave the ends curly or wavy for a romantic finish. You can also request knotless boho braids — knotless installation with bohemian curly ends — for the best of both worlds.
