What Are Feed-In Cornrows?
Discover the Seamless Braiding Technique
Feed-in cornrows represent a modern evolution of the classic cornrowing technique. Unlike traditional methods where the braiding hair is added in bulky knots at the beginning of the braid, the feed-in method involves gradually adding small pieces of extension hair to the natural hair as the braid progresses down the scalp. This creates a much flatter, smoother, and more natural-looking transition from your roots to the extensions.
The result is a sleek, seamless braid that appears to be growing directly from the scalp. This technique not only enhances the aesthetic of the style but also reduces the tension and bulk at the hairline, making it a healthier option for your edges and scalp. It allows for incredible versatility in design, from simple straight-backs to intricate, artistic patterns.
Benefits for Hair Health and Style Versatility
One of the primary advantages of feed-in cornrows is their function as a superior protective style. By tucking away your natural hair, they shield it from daily manipulation, environmental stressors, and breakage, promoting healthy hair growth and length retention. The gradual feeding-in process distributes the weight of the extensions evenly, placing significantly less tension on your hair follicles compared to other braided styles.
This method offers unmatched versatility and a flawless, natural appearance. Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a bold, dramatic look with length and color, feed-in braids can be customized to match your vision. They provide a long-lasting style that can be worn for weeks with proper care, saving you time on your daily hair routine while always looking polished and chic.
From Salon Preparation to At-Home Maintenance
To ensure the best results, please arrive at your appointment with your hair thoroughly washed, detangled, and completely dry. We recommend avoiding heavy oils or leave-in conditioners right before your service, as this allows for a cleaner application and better grip for the braids. Properly prepped hair is the foundation for a beautiful and long-lasting style.
During your service, our skilled braiders will begin by carefully sectioning your hair according to your desired design. We then meticulously add extension hair piece by piece, braiding with precision to create the seamless feed-in effect. We prioritize your comfort throughout the process, ensuring the braids are neat and secure without causing excessive pulling or discomfort.
To maintain your feed-in cornrows, it’s essential to keep your scalp clean and moisturized. You can use a diluted shampoo to gently cleanse the scalp and a light oil or leave-in spray to prevent dryness. At night, protect your style by sleeping with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet. This routine will keep your braids looking fresh and help prolong their lifespan.
