Cornrows are more than just a look—they're a protective style that shields your hair from breakage, reduces daily heat or tension, and helps support healthy hair growth by minimizing manipulation.
Whether you want classic straight backs, designs, or a custom part pattern, cornrows should match your hair type and lifestyle. For best results, avoid braiding too tightly to protect your scalp and edges.
Keep your cornrows fresh by moisturizing your scalp regularly, wrapping your hair in a satin scarf at night, and cleansing your scalp every 2–3 weeks with a gentle, braid-safe wash.
Install time depends on the style and size: cornrows ≈ 1–2 hrs, medium knotless or box braids ≈ 3–5 hrs, small or waist‑length styles ≈ 6 hrs+.
