Ghana Braids Service Overview

Ghana Braids are a traditional African braid style known for thick, raised cornrows created using the feed-in method. These braids start small and gradually build in thickness as more hair is added. The result is a sleek, polished look that sits prominently on the scalp and can be styled in straight, curved, or zig-zag patterns.

Also called “banana braids” or “invisible cornrows,” Ghana Braids are protective, long-lasting, and beautiful on all hair types. You can customize the number of braids, parting design, and accessories for a look that fits your vibe.
