Fulani braids are a great protective hairstyle and if you can cornrow you will find it’s a quick and easy hairstyle you can do yourself. If you are going to do it yourself, you need to consider if you want to add extensions for length or use your natural hair.

When adding extensions to Fulani braids the feed in method is used. This means you add the hair extensions a little at a time as you braid. This helps to keep the braids nice and thin on the top becoming thicker at the end. Unlike box braids for example where you add the extensions at the beginning of the braid, you don’t do this with Fulani braids.
