To make things clear, feed in or feeder braids are a variation of good old cornrow styles. The latter ones have existed since prehistoric times, since the moment people understood how to do their hair into a number of braids lying close to the scalp. Feed in braids styles are relatively new because they require hair extensions that are naturally “fed” into braids to add volume and create a specific look and shape.
What are the best feed in braids hairstyles 2019?
The best hairstyles are always creative and unusual. Since the principle of the creation of braids is always more or less the same, it is necessary to add other creative ideas to make each particular hairstyle look unique and eye-catching.

The mentioned creative means include the following: the colour of extensions, their length and the way the ends of the braids are styled, hair accessories added after the style is finished, the direction of braids and the patterns they create on one’s head.
Classical cornrow styles
We all know cornrows as, roughly saying, straight braids that start from one’s forehead and run backward. However, when it comes to creativity, the pattern changes slightly.
