Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process for feed-in braids?
The process for feed-in braids involves starting a cornrow with your natural hair. As the braid progresses, small pieces of extension hair are gradually added or 'fed in.' This technique creates a flat, seamless start at the hairline that looks natural and reduces the bulk often found in traditional braided styles.
How long do feed-in braids usually last?
Feed-in braids typically last between two to four weeks depending on the size of the braids and your hair texture. Smaller braids generally stay neat longer than jumbo styles. Maintaining the style requires protecting the hair at night and keeping the scalp clean to prevent frizz around the seamless roots.
Are feed-in braids better for your edges?
Yes, feed-in braids are often considered better for hair health because they start with your natural hair. This significantly reduces the initial weight and tension placed on your delicate hairline. By avoiding heavy knots at the start, this method helps protect your edges from pulling and potential thinning over time.
What is the difference between cornrows and feed-in braids?
The main difference is the appearance at the root. Traditional cornrows often have a visible knot or bulk where the extension hair begins. Feed-in braids use a specialized method to make the hair transition invisible. This results in a flatter, more realistic look that mimics the way natural hair grows.
Can feed-in braids be done on short hair?
Feed-in braids can be achieved on various hair lengths, but your hair should be long enough to be securely gripped into a braid. Our professional stylists in Los Angeles can assess your hair during a consultation to determine if the feed-in method is the best choice for your current length.
