17. Undercut Edges with Braided Top
Combine edgy streetwear aesthetics with classic protective braiding by pairing a shaved undercut with short box braids on top. The sides and back of the head are clipped short—often adorned with shaved geometric designs or lines—while the crown features short, bouncy box braids that can be styled forward, slicked back, or tied into a top knot. This style offers an incredible contrast in textures, dramatically reduces hair density for ultra-lightweight wear, and keeps you feeling extremely cool during warm weather.
