Feed-in Cornrows

Long • Styled look

Feed-in cornrows are cornrows braided straight back from the hairline, with extension hair fed in gradually so each braid starts thin and natural at the front and grows thicker. They are put in by a stylist, take one to two hours for four to six braids and last two to three weeks.

Feeding the hair in avoids a bulky knot at the hairline, which reduces tension on the edges. Ask for clean, straight parts and no pulling at the front.
