Tree Braids Service Overview

Tree Braids are a technique where hair extensions are cornrowed into your natural hair, with small sections of the extensions left out to mimic free-flowing hair. This creates the illusion of a full head of loose hair while keeping your natural strands protected underneath.

Ideal for clients who want the look of a weave or long hair without glue or sewing, Tree Braids blend protection with versatility. The final look can be straight, curly, or wavy depending on the hair used.
