Adding extensions by pinch braiding is called braid fusion. Bulk hair is braided with the natural hair to hold it securely.
Basic Pinch Braiding Step-by-step
You'll need the lock of hair that you
want to extend or braid around, and a portion of bulk hair for
braiding. Find the halfway point of the bulk hair.
Each of the halves of bulk hair will
be a strand with which you will do a three strand braid. The natural
hair will be the center strand, and the bulk hair will be the two outer
strands.
You will place the halfway point of the bulk hair near the root of the natural hair.
Then cross one side of the bulk hair
over the other. (You will do this more tightly in real life than it
looks in this diagram, but be mindful of braid tension when you do.)
Then, since it was is middle strand,
you'll cross the natural hair between the two strands of bulk hair, and
continue braiding normally.
When you begin to run out of natural
hair, you will need to make sure you'll still have three strands with
which to continue the braid.
To do this, you will take some hair
from one of the strands with bulk hair, and add it to what is left of
the strand of natural hair.
Then continue braiding normally.

They're both braided styles. They look like pinch braids. I wore these once upon a time long ago. There are two methods for tying off the braids, thread or using a small piece of the braiding hair. (the latter is how my stylist did it)
