About this style
Why book feed-in braids at Antwerpen Braiders?
Feed-in braids are the modern evolution of the classic cornrow. Instead of attaching a chunky braid at the root, our braiders weave extensions into your natural hair gradually — the braid begins narrow at the hairline and thickens organically along the length.
The result is the cleanest, flattest cornrow you can wear: no visible attachment point, no scalp pull, and a finish that frames the face beautifully whether you choose two straight-backs, six neat rows or an editorial pattern.

FAQ
Feed-In Braids — questions answered.
How long do feed-in braids last?+
Most clients keep feed-in braids for 4 to 6 weeks. A mid-style edge tidy-up at week 3 helps extend longevity.
Do feed-in braids damage your hair?+
Not when installed correctly. The graduated technique minimises root tension, making them safer than traditional cornrows for fine edges.
Are feed-in braids the same as stitch braids?+
Both use the feed-in method, but stitch braids add a horizontal ribbon-like sectioning for extra visual dimension.
Can I work out with feed-in braids?+
Yes — they're ideal for sport. Wash gently every 1–2 weeks and refresh edges as needed.
