Which method of cornrowing results in a more natural look and less tension on the hairline?

The feed-in method is designed to create a more natural look while also minimizing tension on the hairline. This technique involves gradually adding in extensions or additional hair as the braid progresses, allowing for a smoother transition between the natural hair and the added hair. By using this approach, the stylist can control the amount of hair being braided at any given time, which helps to ensure that the cornrows are not too tight. This reduced tension is particularly beneficial for protecting the hairline and preventing potential damage or breakage.

The traditional method, in contrast, often results in braids that can be quite tight at the scalp, as all the hair is braided in at once, leading to increased tension on the hairline. The freehand method involves braiding without a specific pattern or guide, which may not provide the uniformity and reduced tension that the feed-in method offers. Lastly, the comb method primarily focuses on sectioning hair and may not specifically address the tension factor or overall aesthetic as effectively as the feed-in technique does.
