Cornrows
The hair is braided flat against the scalp in neat rows running from the forehead to the nape. It’s a clean, orderly and strong look, and a protective style that needs no styling for weeks.

About Cornrows
Each cornrow is formed by braiding sections picked up from the roots along the scalp. Straight-back rows are the classic look, but zigzag and curved patterns are also possible. The number and width of the rows determine both the look and the installation time. The result typically lasts two to four weeks.
Since all the hair is pulled back, your features and head shape stand out, which looks great on oval, square and diamond faces. Cornrows hold best on afro-textured and curly hair. Tight braiding can strain the hairline, so watch the roots and take breaks between installs.
What’s the difference between cornrows and box braids?
Cornrows are braided flat to the scalp in rows, so the hair doesn’t hang loose. Box braids are individual braids coming out of square sections that hang freely. You can try both in the catalog.
How long do cornrows last?
Usually two to four weeks. Wearing a satin bonnet at night and keeping the scalp moisturized help the rows stay neat.
