Medium knotless braids are a protective hairstyle where synthetic hair is gradually fed into your natural hair, starting with your own hair at the scalp (no tight knot). They are lighter, more comfortable, and gentler on the scalp than traditional box braids. PLEASE make sure hair is free of oil/ cleaned unless you're adding a wash.

Traditional box braids are a protective hairstyle where each braid starts with a tight knot at the scalp using added hair. They're sectioned in square parts and offer a fuller, structured look.
