As the braiding hair community continues to progress, feed-in braids have become the standard. It’s the ultimate protective style technique that’s known for limiting hair loss, as well as tension on the scalp, and that’s a big deal because we all love our natural hair.
So, how do feed-in braids protect your crowning glory? It’s a process during which the braided style starts with your natural hair. Synthetic hair is then gradually added; often done to form thicker braids or to achieve a neat and smooth finish at the hairline.
The best part is that the feed-in technique can be applied to every type of braided style, from simple Ghana cornrows to box braids and lemonade braids. You name it! You can take a breather knowing that your protective style is doing exactly what the term implies.
That’s why this article is all about feed-in braid styles that are trending right now! Let’s begin, shall we?
1. Classic Black Box Braids
We’re starting with a protective style that has been a favorite for so many of us. Box braids have come through on numerous occasions for a neat and stylish look.
These braids can look even sleeker when you say goodbye to the anchor knots at the root. Start with your natural hair and add medium-sized strands of braiding hair step-by-step to achieve this look.
2. Ghana Braids with Low Ponytail

4. Black and Blonde Goddess Cornrow Box Braids
Curly box braids are where it’s at! They’re cute and easy to achieve, attracting tons of attention online. It all begins with medium-sized feed-in cornrows that extend into long goddess box braids.
The curls at the end of this style give this look a sassy feel and a modern twist. Not to mention, those blonde streaks, adding a chic contrast to the black braids.
5. Brown Goddess Box Braids
Here, you can clearly see where the natural black hair starts the style, as a result of the stark color difference.
Brown artificial hair is then steadily added, forming jumbo cornrow box braids. Tendrils were included at the end for a cute touch.
6. Black Stitch Ghana Braids
Along with the feed-in technique, stitch cornrows also give your braids a neat finish as hair is sectioned into thin lines, horizontally. The cornrows increase in size as they go along before ending in thick plaits.
This style can be worn casually with a cute top and jeans or you can spruce it up with accessories such as hair cuffs, cords, or cowrie shells for fancier outings.
7. Black Cornrow Box Braids with High Bun
A braided bun is a go-to style that makes your hair look neater than ever while keeping braids out the way and making you look elegant as well.

8. Black Jumbo Passion Twists with High Ponytail
Passion twists are among the sleekest braid styles with a silky look and texture that is superior to traditional twists, so it makes perfect sense to rock this look in a feed-in or knotless style.

10. Burgundy Cornrow Braids with Curly High Bun
I love braided styles that end in curls. The combo is so beautiful and adds extra flair to your daily outfits.

14. Small Black Distressed Faux Locs
