Summer is here, and with it comes beach days, tropical getaways, pool parties, and endless sunshine. But the last thing you want to worry about on vacation is spending hours on your hair every morning. That’s why boho braids—soft, textured braids with face-framing curls—are the ultimate protective style for summer. They keep your natural hair shielded from the sun and humidity, while giving you a trendy, carefree look that turns heads everywhere from the airport to the pool.

Whether you’re planning a staycation or a passport-stamped adventure, boho braids done with Yummy Extensions’ Raw Braiding Hair will keep you stylish and stress-free all summer long.

Why Boho Braids Are the Perfect Summer & Vacation Hairstyle

Boho braids aren’t just pretty—they’re practical. They let you look your best without sacrificing time, convenience, or hair health.

They’re the low-maintenance style you can set and forget, freeing you to fully enjoy your vacation or summer plans.

Benefits of Boho Braids for Summer:

  • Minimal daily styling required, saving you time each morning
  • Humidity-proof for hot summer days and nights
  • Keeps natural hair protected from UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater
  • Versatile: wear them down, half-up, or in a ponytail
  • Stylish enough to carry you from brunch to a beach bonfire

Why Boho Braids Are Trending Right Now

Boho braids are everywhere this season—from social media feeds to music festivals and celebrity vacations. The reason? They strike the perfect balance between effortless and polished, making them the go-to style for anyone who wants to look chic without trying too hard.

Step-by-Step: How to Create Boho Braids for Your Summer Vacation

Step 1: Cleanse and Prep Your Natural Hair for Braiding Start by washing and conditioning your natural hair to remove product buildup, dirt, and oils. Clean hair creates the perfect base for installing human hair extensions or boho braids. After cleansing, gently blow-dry or stretch your hair to make it easier to braid. Use a rat-tail comb to create neat, even parts—this helps achieve a smooth and professional braid pattern for long-lasting results.

Step 2: Prepare the Human Bulk Hair for Boho Braids Before starting your boho braids installation, section your 100% human bulk braiding hair according to your desired braid size. This helps speed up the braiding process and ensures consistency throughout your style. Lightly mist the braiding hair with water, then apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner or styling mousse. This keeps the hair soft, hydrated, and easy to manage while you braid, making for a smoother installation experience.

Step 3: Start the Boho Braiding Process Begin each braid using your natural hair and a knotless or feed-in braiding technique. These methods are ideal for reducing tension on the scalp and creating a natural, seamless look. As you braid, gradually add in your human bulk braiding hair to blend smoothly with your own hair. For the signature boho braid style, leave out small curly pieces as you go—or gently pull them out after—to achieve that soft, textured, and effortlessly undone finish.

Step 4: Style and Maintain Your Boho Braids Keep your boho braids looking fresh by enhancing the curly leave-out strands with a curl-defining cream or lightweight mousse. This adds bounce, shine, and definition to your human braiding hair. To minimize frizz and hold the style in place, use a light finishing spray or styling foam. For long-lasting results, wrap your braids at night with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet. Proper maintenance helps preserve your braided hairstyle and protects your investment in high-quality human hair.

Step 5: Enjoy Long-Lasting, Elevated Boho Braids Enjoy the beauty and convenience of a flawless, long-lasting protective style. When installed properly and maintained with care, your boho braids can last several weeks while retaining their signature soft, effortless look. The combination of high-quality human bulk hair and expert braiding technique ensures that your style remains polished, lightweight, and full of dimension throughout its wear.

Whether you're headed on vacation, managing a busy schedule, or simply looking for a low-maintenance look that still makes a statement, boho braids are the perfect solution. Their versatility allows you to wear them in various styles—updos, ponytails, or free-flowing—while the curly leave-out pieces add a natural, romantic touch.


For best results, keep your hair moisturized, sleep with a silk or satin wrap, and refresh the curly strands with a light mousse as needed. With the right care, you’ll enjoy weeks of elevated style, unmatched comfort, and confidence that comes from wearing premium human hair extensions.


Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Boho Braids in Summer

Moisturize Daily: Lightly spray your scalp and braids with a water + conditioner-based braid spray. This keeps your hair hydrated and helps reduce scalp irritation. 

Refresh Loose Curls: Apply mousse or curl-enhancing foam to loose pieces every few days, smoothing them back to life and taming frizz.

Sleep with Care: Wrap your braids in a silk or satin scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to keep them neat and reduce friction that causes frizz.

Cleanse Your Scalp: Use a diluted shampoo or astringent like witch hazel on a cotton pad to gently cleanse your scalp without soaking your entire head.

Avoid Heavy Products: Stick to lightweight serums or sprays. Heavy creams or oils can build up on your braids and cause them to look dull or greasy.

Don’t Over-Style: While it’s tempting to keep pulling your braids into ponytails or buns, repeated tension can shorten their lifespan or cause hair breakage.

  • Yummy Raw Braiding Hair (Boho Deep Wave or Boho Deep Wavy/Curls)

Why Boho Braids are Ideal for Travel

When traveling, especially to hot and humid destinations, boho braids simplify your routine while maximizing style. Here’s why:

Swim-Friendly: Boho braids stand up to saltwater and chlorine—just rinse with fresh water after swimming to remove residue.

Flexible Styling: Wear them down, half-up, or in a ponytail. Loose curls add variety without rebraiding.

Quick Mornings: Cut styling time to minutes—just fluff curls, lay edges, and you’re ready

Photo-Ready: Boho braids make every outfit pop, from bikinis to sundresses.
