If you want a look that’s all about feeling free, at peace, and embracing your inner creativity, there’s nothing quite like gypsy braids. 

Are you not sure how to bring them to life in a stylish way? 🤔

That’s what we’re here for…bring your braiding hair, and let's do it.

What Are Gypsy Braids?

Take a look at the music world, and you’re sure to find someone stepping out in a set of gypsy braids sooner rather than later. 

You can think of them as intricate little ornate plats that are adorned with a whole host of stylish accessories.

Feathers, ribbons, and wooden beads are just a few of the popular items that you will see stylish queens using to bring the gypsy braid look to life. 

Having a free-flowing curl at the end is a signature look that is all about making you feel free to express yourself.

You might even consider having the tip of the curl in a different color like the Burgundy Braiding Hair when you want to change things up a little more.

All you have to do is keep reading, and you’ll be able to fall in love with a look that really needs no introduction. 

What’s the Best Hair Type for Gypsy Braids?

Wet hair will reduce the risk of tangles when braiding, while wavy hair is better than curly hair because it won’t get knotted as easily.

We love the idea of you treating yourself to a set of our premium Deep Wave Braiding Hair and then working your magic. 

The look and feel of the braiding bundle allow you to create a look that is sure to stand out for all the right reasons.

Exactly what you want to hear when it’s time to turn on the style in a way that will make all of your friends take notice. 

Hair thickness is another key thing we need to touch on before we leave you to create your unique style.

Thin, brittle hair that is easily broken is not the best choice when you want to get styling.

Opt instead for hair with plenty of natural durability and volume, like our Raw Indian Braiding Hair, and you’ll be onto something beautiful before you know it. 

When Do Gypsy Braids Become Boho Braids?

We thought you would never ask!

If you prefer the look of our Deep Wave Boho Braids, by all means, be our guest.

After all, the Private Label experience is only ever about allowing you to connect with your inner style queen in a whole new way. 

Imagine taking some wavy Medium Brown Braiding Hair and then using some of it to hang naturally and some of it to create a cute selection of eclectic braids.

The boho style is all about a less-is-more approach and could be worth a look if you love gypsy braids but also want something a little different. 

How Do You Look After Your Gypsy Braids?

You’ve created your own style and fallen in love with the new look you see in the mirror, so why run the risk of letting the frizz take over?

No, we can’t think of a good reason either!  While some will tell you your new braids are going to use up a lot of your time, you know that you’ve taken the smart approach.

Braiding hair is much easier to look after and allows you to focus on what really matters. 

All you really need to do is combine warm water with a sulfate-free conditioner, and you’ll be able to moisturize them the natural way.

With a weekly haircare routine that fits in with the rest of your life, you’ll be able to extend the lifetime of a braiding hair bundle from 2-3 months to well over a year.

Good news for those of you who want to be able to enjoy a fresh burst of signature style for many years to come. 

How Many Bundles Are Needed for Gypsy Braids?

There’s no right or wrong answer here because it depends on what you want to achieve.

More bundles mean more size and volume, and two bundles certainly have a nice balance to them if you’re trying braiding for the first time. 

The key is to get a little bit experimental in front of the mirror so that you can celebrate your creative side.

Once you do that, you’ll be able to elevate the way you feel with a look that catches the eye from across the room. 

How Much Curl Do Gypsy Braids Need?

Some women love lots of volume and opt for large sweeping curls, while others like the intricacy and more refined look of smaller, more frequent curls.

If you were braiding with your own natural hair, then we would highlight how you don’t want to risk breakages by constantly restyling.

But because you’re thinking of treating yourself to a high-quality braiding hair bundle, you have all the freedom in the world to try out new styles. 

At the same time, when thinking about how much curl you want, why not think about adding a second color to your cart?

You may have started with a rich caramel brown, only to have your head turned by a splash of pure blonde. So why don't you begin with the Copper Braiding Hair?

The beautiful thing about working with bundles is that you get the freedom to have a little bit of everything. 

Rather than coloring your hair constantly, you can just reach for something else and weave it into your main theme.

Perfect when you want to be able to wow the room with a bold new look that just feels right.
