We all love <\/em>cornrows dearly\u2014they\u2019re straightforward, protective, easy to make, and they look great any way you style them. However, have you ever wished that you could add a little extra dazzle to your basic cornrows? Stitch braids styles are the answer to your prayers! Stitch braids are cornrows that are braided in such a way that there are visible lines underneath each cornrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not super complicated to do and with just a little practice you should be able to whip these up in no time. They\u2019re made by first adding gel to the hair to secure it in place and ensure that the lines will come out shiny and more visible. Then start making the cornrow as you normally would but as you\u2019re braiding along, create lines by using either the pinky fingernail or a rat tail comb to make small, straight parts at consistent intervals throughout the cornrow. The end result should be a cornrow that appears to have horizontal lines running down the length of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stitch braids are really trendy and all cornrow styles can be made as stitch braids if you simply use the stitch braid parting technique instead of weaving them normally.
