Originally from Severn, Maryland, the sisters grew up with religious parents, singing in church choirs and touring the East Coast singing in various events. In 1989, the sisters signed a record deal with Arista, releasing their debut single 'Good Life'. The single practically went unnoticed commercially, leading to the siblings getting dropped from the label.

In 1991, Toni pursued a solo career after being recognised by Antonio "L.A." Reid and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, who were in the process of forming LaFace Records. The remaining sisters became backup singers for Toni's debut album and tour, but would eventually sign to LaFace as well two years later. However, Reid moved on to work with Atlantic Records, and would decide to take the siblings to that label also. However, Traci would not be signed with the siblings due to her pregnancy at the time, leading her to leave the group

1996 saw The Braxtons finally release their debut album So Many Ways, which made the USA Top 200 albums and the RnB Top 40. 5 singles were lifted from the album, while 3 of them charted inside the UK Top 40. The Braxtons' biggest hit to date is a cover of Diana Ross' classic track "The Boss". The single reached #1 in the USA Dance Charts with the help and support of Masters At Work.

In 1999, Tamar decided to leave the group to start her solo career, releasing her eponymous debut in 2000. All of the sisters would then individually begin to work on various projects throughout the following decade (2000-2010), primarily Toni.

In 2011, The Braxtons signed to television network WE tv for a reality series entitled Braxton Family Values, which focused on the relationship between the siblings as well as their mother. Four years later, in 2015, they released their second album (their first as a quintet) Braxton Family Christmas, which saw the siblings cover various Christmas songs, as well as performing a few original compositions.

As of 2020, Braxton Family Values are on their seventh season, yet to be renewed for an eighth season. Tamar Braxton has released four more albums since her self-titled debut, and Traci released two solo albums respectively in 2014 and 2018.
