Stitch Braids Styles

The term “stitch braids” refers to a method of cornrowing that involves creating neat box-shaped lines along the length of each braid. Use a non-flaking styling gel or pomade when creating stitch braids for a sleek look with extra hold. The finished look of stitch braids is extremely neat and pretty. You can create them using just your natural hair or by adding braiding hair to create a variety of beautiful styles.
