PROTECTIVE STYLE
Feed-In Braids
Seamless braids that blend extensions in gradually from the scalp, creating a soft, natural taper with no bulky start.
About This Style
Feed-in braids use a gradual technique where small amounts of extension hair are added in stages as the braid grows outward from the scalp, resulting in a natural, tapered look with no thick, obvious starting point. This method is often used for cornrow-style braids that need extra length and fullness while still looking authentic.
Variations & Options
Feed-in braids can be styled straight-back, in a side pattern, or arranged into ponytails and updos. They pair especially well with cornrow patterns for a natural, seamless finish.
Who This Style May Suit
This technique suits clients who want length and volume added to cornrow-style braids without the style looking overly bulky or unnatural at the root.
Preparation Guidance
Arrive with clean, dry, and detangled hair. Let us know your desired length and pattern ahead of time so we can plan the feed-in technique accordingly.
Maintenance Tips
Keep your scalp moisturized, sleep with a protective covering, and avoid pulling on the braids near the root where the feed-in technique begins.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Feed-in braiding requires careful, gradual sectioning, so appointments may take a bit longer than standard cornrows depending on your desired length and pattern complexity.
