If you adore braids and you always find yourself browsing through Instagram, you should already know by now that there are many different methods, styles, and even techniques that can be applied to create the most incredible hairstyles. Stitch Braids are one such braid style and have recently become quite popular.
Stitch braids resemble conventional cornrows. However, the distinction is barely perceptible. To create the stitches in thread braids, you only need to use a little different technique. The hairdo is created by employing the stitch-in braiding technique. The hair is divided into thin or thick horizontal lines and braided in stitch braids. Following that, a cornrow is created by braiding the horizontal lines. The most common method for creating stitch braids is the feed-in technique, in which more hair is introduced as the braid is being worked on.
Away from the times of conventional cornrows, ladies especially black women can now proudly wear a newly improved cornrow style called “Stitch Braids” thanks to the innovativeness of Black hairstylists around the world.
Stitch braids can be your next point of hair exploration if you’re growing tired of the same old looks you are used to. But bear in mind that it requires the skills of a professional hairstylist to achieve. However, the adaptability and sport worthiness of the stitch braids are what makes them so cool. There are many different ways to style them. Hence, we have highlighted a few suggestions below.
High Bun Stitch Braids
Buns are a fantastic idea at all times. Especially when all you want is something simple and low-maintenance. It’s the kind of hairdo that combines ease of use and functionality with an attractive and classy appearance. You don’t have hair that covers your entire face, and they are light and elegant enough to wear to almost any occasion. You have the option of choosing a high stitch braid bun rather than low, loose buns.
Swervy Stich Braids
Other than using straight lines and zigzag motions, other exquisite hairstyles can be created. The best thing you have probably never tried is swervy braids. These stitch braids are cool, charming, and chic all at once. They’re like a work of art on your head.
Stitch Braid Space Buns
Because stitch braids are so simple to work into just about any hairdo, they give us the freedom to express our creativity, experiment with different designs, and play with our hair. Braided space buns are a whimsical and exciting way to express yourself. To give your natural hair more volume and control, stitch extensions in. Then begin splitting your hair, and when you’re finished, pull it all up into space buns.
Diagonal Line Stitch Braids
Fun fact: “Curly hair can be easily tamed with stitch braids”. By braiding the strands in diagonal rather than straight lines, you can keep the look simple while twisting it. On the neck, the braids sag haphazardly. All females, regardless of age, can wear this style.
Heart-Shaped Design
You always can embellish your hairstyle by stitching braids. The black hair is knitted into braids that overlap at the top, while the sides above the ears set this style apart from others. The look and style are completed with a sweet heart-shaped braid made from the strands.
Double Helix Pattern
This is just another fun way to show off braids. The front hair is divided into sections, and the braids cross over one another to form a double helix pattern. At the back, the last few light brown sewn locks are braided, giving them a sophisticated, sleek appearance.
