Braiding Styles & Categories

Knotless Braids

Knotless braids start with your natural hair and gradually feed in braiding hair as they go, instead of tying a knot at the root.

Cornrows

Cornrows are braided close to the scalp in continuous rows, using an underhand technique that's been part of Black hairstyling for generations.

French Curls

French curl braids are individual braids finished with soft, curled ends instead of straight tips..

Natural/Men Styles

This category covers styles designed for natural hair textures and classic men's braided or twisted looks.

Retwist/Starter Locs

Starter locs are the beginning of a loc journey — small, neatly sectioned twists trained to lock over time.

Soft Locs

Soft locs are a faux loc style made with lightweight synthetic hair, either crocheted into cornrows or wrapped by hand.

Distressed Locs

Distressed locs have a deliberately textured, lived-in look — less uniform than soft locs, with more visible texture throughout each loc.

Dye Services

Color services to refresh, deepen, or change the shade of braiding hair or natural hair.

Quickweaves/Sew-ins

A sew-in secures wefted hair extensions onto braided natural hair with needle and thread — a longer-lasting, more protective install.

Twists

Two-strand twists are created by twisting two sections of hair around each other, with or without added extensions.

Fulani Braids

Fulani braids originate from the Fulani people of West Africa, traditionally marked by a center cornrow with braids framing the sides and face, often finished with beads or other adornment.

Invisible Locs

Invisible locs sit between twists and locs — natural hair is flat-twisted, then braiding hair is twisted in to extend length, creating the look of a fresh loc retwist without the commitment of real locs.
