To do a boxer braid, which makes a great sporty look, one must begin by combing your hair to take away the necessity of tangles and separate it into a smooth foundation. Separate the hair in the middle forehead to buttock making two equal parts. Starting the hairline on one side, then and then add small pieces of hair until you get to the back of your head with a tight French or Dutch braid. Have the braid very close to the head in order to achieve an accurate and appropriate finish. Do the same on the other side making sure that both the braids are equal. Tie the ends using hair elastics and pull the braids to the extent one wishes in order to make them look great. Spray a light hairspray on top of that to put some flyaways under control and get a very sporty athletic appearance which remains not just trendy but useful at all hours.
