It’s time to go above and beyond with the stylish cornrow derivative, stitch braids, a style I like to call the expert version of traditional cornrows. It requires a more precise technique to accomplish, however stitch braids are a trendy alternative to its classic forerunner.
Applying the feed-in method, this technique isn’t difficult once you get the hang of it but requires a skilled braider to form neat horizontal lines, using the pinky finger, preferably with a nail, to navigate the hair until each stitch is complete.

The option also exists to accessorize with stylish hair jewelry. You’re about to see all that and more in this amazing round-up of trending stitch braid styles. Let’s get right into it!
