Ghana Braids

Ghana Braids in Indianapolis, IN

Ghana braids, also called banana braids or all-back cornrows, are one of the boldest, most graceful protective styles you can wear. At Ramas Hair Braiding, our stylists braid thin at the part and build up thickness as the rows travel back, creating a sculpted, eye-catching look that holds for weeks. Whether you want a classic all-back set or a more elaborate geometric design, we’ll work with your hair type and vision to get it right.

Ghana Braid Styles We Offer

Classic Ghana Braids

Classic Ghana Braids

The traditional look: braids start small near the part and gradually thicken as they move toward the back, creating clean, graduated lines that sit flat against the scalp. A versatile everyday style for any hair length.

Ghana Braids w Curly ends

Ghana Braids with Curly Ends

For a softer finish, we can add curly or wavy extensions at the ends instead of a straight braid tail — a popular way to dress up the classic style without much extra time in the chair.

Chevron-Geometric Ghana Braids

Chevron & Geometric Ghana Braids

Want something more artistic? Our stylists can part your Ghana braids into chevrons, triangles, or other geometric patterns for a bolder, more editorial look.

Colored Ghana Braids

Frequently Asked Questions about Ghana Braids

How long do Ghana braids last?

With proper care, Ghana braids typically last 4 to 8 weeks. Keeping your scalp moisturized, sleeping with a satin bonnet or pillowcase, and avoiding excessive manipulation will help your style stay fresh longer.

What's the difference between Ghana braids and cornrows?
Ghana braids are a style of cornrow — the difference is in the technique. Traditional cornrows stay a consistent size throughout, while Ghana braids start thin and gradually get thicker as they travel back, giving them their signature graduated look.
Are Ghana braids good for natural hair?
Yes. Installed flat against the scalp with no heat, Ghana braids are one of the better protective styles for natural hair. Just make sure your stylist isn’t braiding too tightly, which can cause tension at the hairline.
