Seamless braids with bold flair and lasting comfort.
Feed-in braids are a lighter, sleeker alternative to classic braids like cornrows. Rather than using bulky extensions from the start, the stylist gradually brings in hair for a natural, flat finish. This method reduces the tension on the scalp, protects the strands, and allows for amazing versatility.
From fancy to simple, these braids fit every preference. So, if you need a protective style that combines aesthetics and practicality, these styles will keep your hair looking stylish and secure for weeks!
Some head shapes are a crime to hide behind a curtain of hair. And when getting a buzz cut is not an option, scalp braids are a must-try.

The plaits of this style go from the forehead to the nape, crisscrossing twice en route, and culminate in two low curly buns.
@braidsbyarrie
Sleek and half-up braided, this hairstyle rocks bob-length boho braids. Wear them down or gather the plaits into a chic updo.
@hair_by_favy__
The flowy lines of the freestyle cornrows beautifully accentuate the contours of the head and coordinate with the styled edges.
@savsstyles
This style blends the pliant shape of the plaits with the strict geometry of the stitch pattern. If your scalp is sensitive though, you might want to skip stitch braids as they have to be plaited quite firm to keep the shape.
@hairbyericalatrice
The front and sides of this hairstyle are styled with feed-in braids that start small and get thicker as extensions are added. The crown and back have sew-in wefts for volume and texture.
@tjslayedit
With braids starting at the hairline and aiming for the crown, a braided ponytail is the most logical option. Include braided bangs for the face-framing effect.
@braidedby.tiffyy
Creativity is the name of the game! Braids of varying sizes and techniques, crafty partings and crisscrossing, and styled baby hairs to top it all off.
@marnibraids
If you love simple silhouettes and quality over quantity, you’ll love these minimalistic plaits. Wear them to anything from a date night to a gym.
@stylesbykira__
You can wear your heart on your sleeve or you can wear double hearts woven into your hair. A warm copper shade spices up the look.
@braboisbeauty
This braider got her client’s bae’s name plaited into the design. What a romantic way to profess your love for someone!
@slayedbyalisha_
We can’t even imagine how much skill and dedication it takes to create a masterpiece like this! The thread-thin braids gradually get bigger and end with bouncy curls.
@_queen_of_braids
We absolutely adore how this intricate tribal design embraces the long braided bangs and beaded decor. It’s an original style that honors your roots.
@neyhairs_
This style boasts neat braiding but it’s not puristic even a tiny bit. The thoughtfully placed wispy curls and a messy low bun create a laid-back feel.
@tonedbyt_braids
Straight-to-the-back styles can be easily spruced up with small accents that don’t disrupt the general front-to-back flow but make it more visually interesting.
@javixsha.beauty
“Flawlessly clean lines, perfectly spaced sections,” that’s how the braiders from Nigerian Abuja Hair and Beauty Lounge describe this style.
@infinity_beautylounge
This asymmetrical hairstyle lends itself well to a variety of updos. Since one side is braided further back, you can always leave out several braids from the other side to frame the face.
@hair_by_favy__
Nothing can beat the classics! Neat straight-back cornrows look amazing whether you run errands during the day or attend cocktail parties at night.
@friostyles
Goddess braids instantly level up any look. They can be thrown up in a ponytail or a bun, or accessorized with cuffs, rings, and charms.
@fatimahairbraiding_beauty_bar
This style takes two popular styles – the classic Fulani braids and Beyonce-inspired thin lemonade braids – and joins them in one striking look.
@stylesbykira__
Taking inspiration from Alicia Keys’ braided looks, this style features gorgeously styled edges and curvy cornrows that flow into medium-sized braids.
@vstylsz
If you’re vibing with your braider, grant them creative freedom and let them create a custom look for you. We bet you’ll end up with a fierce designer look.
@marnibraids
Dainty curls are a great way to play up thick, voluminous braids. Worn down or in a chignon, this style always hits the mark.
@precisionbraids901
The snaky braids form an enchanting maze-like pattern that is hard to ignore. For a softer look, go for soft bends rather than sharp angles.
@neyhairs_
Demonstrate your best side by going for a side-swept braided bob. It gracefully opens up the face and lets you flaunt decorative elements along with braids, twists, and curls.
@hair_by_favy__
For those who love symmetry and clean, minimalistic styles, we offer this style with six stitch braids that form two buns at the base of the nape.
@zappedby.zee
Great length, enviable volume, rich texture – everything in this look makes your heart skip a bit. But what we would like to high-five is incredible color matching. Color-accented braids are trending hard right now.
@infinity_beautylounge
Love sleek looks but crave some volume at the same time? Go for all-back braids with crisp zigzag partings and finish off your plaits with barrel ends for additional volume.
@thebraidspeciallist
Bum-length braids can be quite a commitment but it’s totally doable. Protect your hair at night with a silk scarf or pillowcase to reduce friction and extend the longevity of your braids and curls.
@b.thee.stylellion
To make your style look as if you’ve just walked out of a salon, refresh the curls at the ends with a bit of curl cream to maintain their shape.
@braidedbykira
