stitch braids
Thread-joined woven strands
Stitch braids are a protective hairstyle where hair is braided flat against the scalp in neat, visible rows that resemble stitching.
The technique creates clean horizontal lines between each braid, giving a textured, patterned appearance.
Popular in Black hair care, they're valued for low maintenance and versatility: She got stitch braids for the summer.
Also called feed-in braids when hair is gradually added for a natural look.
