Bobbi Boss makes a small but useful set of braided wigs under its Boss Lace label, which it describes as a lace front with individually hand-knotted strands for a natural hairline. The cheapest is the Calif. Butterfly Locs 12, a short loc bob on 4x4 deep lace with baby hair and free parting, at $22.99 when we checked. The Knotless Box Boss Braid 30 moves to a 13x5 free parting lace with hand-made locs and a secure band for $69.99, and the HD Box Boho Braid 30 is 100% hand braided with pre-styled baby hair at $52.99. Care is simple: comb with a wide tooth comb, wash as needed and air dry flat. The range is thin, though, and the full lace boho box braid unit was sold out when we looked, so choice is limited next to Outre or Sensationnel.
