What this style is
Jumbo XL 20" (Mid-back length) offers extra-large knotless Bora Bora braids finished to sit around mid-back length for a bold, voluminous silhouette. The knotless method attaches hair with a feed-in technique that reduces concentrated knots at the root, and many clients report a comfortably secure feel with minimal slippage.
This size and length create a strong visual impact suited to events, everyday styling, or performance looks in Los Angeles. Because the braids are large, they move with more body and require different upkeep than thinner braids; they are especially popular in peak months like June, July, and December.
Technique and what to expect
Appointments for this service are scheduled for 120 MINUTES. Knotless Bora Bora braids are typically created with a paced feed-in method and, at our Hollywood La Brea corridor salon, stylists often work together to keep a steady, efficient flow. Teamwork can shorten downtime and help maintain consistent tension so the braids feel comfortably attached.
We work with a range of supplied hair types and color combinations and can blend shades and textures into the braids. Clients who bring wefted or wavy weave hair have been accommodated, though bulk braiding hair generally feeds more smoothly. Expect color blending, careful tucking, and finishing that emphasizes neat parting and a full silhouette.
Care and local considerations
Aftercare for Jumbo XL braids focuses on maintaining the shape and scalp comfort: gentle nighttime protection, light moisturizing where needed, and avoiding heavy product buildup. Los Angeles’s Mediterranean climate makes these braids convenient for year-round outdoor life, but sun and sweat during warmer months mean you may want occasional refresher appointments or targeted maintenance.
Plan bookings around busy seasons—June, July and December—or before events like concerts and shows. Our salon’s location near Hollywood/Highland Metro and the Hollywood Walk of Fame makes quick pre- or post-commute appointments possible, and we offer evening and weekend availability for clients with late or irregular hours.
