What the difference between the bohemian braids, gypsy braids and bora braids.
The gypsy braids and the bora braids both have a lot of curly hair, but the difference is in the type of hair used:
For the gypsy braids, we use deep bulk curly human hair, while for the bora braids, we use wet and wavy human hair.
The bohemian braids also have a lot of curly hair, but not as much as the gypsy and bora braids.
