What is another name for a box braid?

  1. Fishbone braid

  2. Single braid, free hanging

  3. French braid

  4. Dutch braid

The correct answer is: Single braid, free hanging

Another name for a box braid is a single braid that hangs freely. This term comes from the way the braid is sectioned and created, like a series of small boxes. The box braid differs from a fishbone braid, which typically involves only two sections, as well as French and Dutch braids, which involve weaving in additional strands of hair. So while these other options may involve braiding techniques, they do not accurately refer to the specific style of a box braid.
