Ghana Braids / Cornrow Crochet (Feed-In Style)
Estimated Price Range
Prices verified 2026-03. Varies by vendor and exact specs.
Ghana braids (also called banana braids or Cherokee braids) are thick, raised cornrows that are braided close to the scalp with added hair for thickness and length. The feed-in technique starts thin at the hairline and gradually thickens — creating a natural, less bulky appearance at the roots. Crochet versions bring this salon-intensive style within reach of a faster installation.

Care & Maintenance
- Ghana braids are tight — apply soothing oil to reduce tension during the first 48 hours.
- The raised cornrow pattern can catch on fabric — use a satin pillowcase.
- Edge control gel along the hairline keeps the style looking polished.
- Lasts 4-6 weeks depending on your hair growth rate.
