Feed-In Braids
Hair Included, Up To 1h 25min
Feed-in braids are a plaited hairstyle where the braid is built with extensions from the ground up instead of just installing the extensions. So, this is a practice of “feeding-in” bits of hair to the main braid to grow in size progressively, and it prevents your edges from excessive tension caused by too thick extensions.
They are called feed-ins because you can feed in little pieces of hair extensions while you are building the plait; one amount of hair is added for cornrows, a knot is made at the beginning of plaiting, and everything is braided to the end. While making feed-in braids, a braider adds synthetic hair several times without a knot at the beginning. $50-150
