If you have more questions about the trendy plaits, here you will possibly find the answers.
What is the point of these plaits? They are protective. Moreover, they look far more natural than the majority of other plaited styles, including classic cornrows and large box plaits.
How much are they? It will depend on the skills of your stylist, and the style you choose (how many plaits, how intricate they are, etc.). They can cost upwards of a 100$. Every salon and stylist have their own pricing.
How long do they take? It takes about 2-3 hours to complete them.
How to wash them? Can you wet them? Yes, you certainly can wet your plaits. When it comes to washing them, the routine is simple: run warm water through your hair. Apply shampoo to your roots, scalp, and cornrows using a spray bottle. Massage the shampoo into your scalp and squeeze it down your cornrows. Wash them from the scalp to the tips instead of rubbing them, and rinse the shampoo away! Don’t allow your plaits to become waterlogged, and blot the rows gently with a towel to help them dry.
How to wrap them at night? When wrapping them up, use a satin/silk scarf and tie your hair up back to the front, so it stays in the scarf.
How to sleep with them? When going to bed, do the same and moisturize before if you feel it’s necessary.
How many packs of hair do you need for the plaits? When it comes to picking packs of hair, the number depends on what style you choose and the length of your hair. Our best average is between 4 and 8 single packs for your chosen styles.
How to stop them from itching? If this is not an allergic reaction, possibly dirt or lack of nourishing may cause itching. Wash your plaits at least once a week, and condition (depending on your hair type, it can be coconut oil or aloe vera gel; ask your stylist how to take care of the plaits).
How to do them? Get a list of stylists that provide this service nearby. All you have to do now is to read reviews, check out the braiders’ Instagram accounts with examples of their works, and book.
How to do them yourself? It may be hard for beginners to master this type of plaits from the first try. However, everything is possible if you follow a very detailed step by step tutorial.
Plaits with added extensions are spectacularly fun if you need a makeover, and they are easy enough to maintain with proper care. Be sure to consult your stylist to find out which styles would suit you best, depending on your hair type, condition, and your style of living. We wish you to make the best decision for yourself and your glamour!
So, you’ve heard about feed-in braids and want to try them out? Great! You should definitely give it a go! They are a protective style that really deserves its popularity!
What do they look like? They belong to the kind of plaited hairstyles where the plait is built with extensions from the ground up instead of just installing the extensions. So, this is a practice of adding bits of hair to the main plait to grow in size progressively, and it prevents your edges from excessive tension caused by too thick extensions.
Why are they called so? They are called so because you can bring in little pieces of extensions while you are building the plait.
Are they a protective style? Adding hair to your plaits makes them fuller, prevents frizz, and increases length. The technique is used for a lot of protective plaited designs.
What is the difference between this style and cornrows? The difference is in the method of plaiting. One piece of hair is added for cornrows, a knot is made at the beginning of plaiting, and everything is plaited to the end. When making the style we are discussing, a stylist adds synthetic hair several times, and without a knot at the beginning.
How long do they last? They last only up to two weeks. With some tricks, you can make them last up to 3 weeks.
Now comes the fun part! We present a list of the greatest styles that can be achieved with these plaits for your viewing pleasure! Get enchanted, get inspired, and when you find something you like – and you will find something you like – you should most definitely talk to your hairstylist about it!
