Service Description

Cornrows are a traditional African hairstyle where the hair is braided very close to the scalp using an underhand, upward motion. The result is a continuous, raised row of braids. These braids can be styled in various ways, from simple straight lines to elaborate geometric or curvilinear designs. Cornrows are not only a practical and low-maintenance protective style but also a significant cultural and artistic expression among Black women, with roots tracing back centuries in Africa. Here are some stunning variations you might consider: Pigtail Cornrows: These sporty yet stylish cornrows keep your hair out of your face while framing your features. For added flair, consider adding mini braids alongside the larger cornrows. Rainbow Center-Parted Braids: Make a statement with multicolored cornrows sectioned off horizontally. The symmetry of this style is visually striking. Beaded Straight Back Cornrows: Inspired by Alicia Keys’ iconic Fulani-style braids, this version incorporates beads for extra appeal. Simple Straight Back Cornrows: Don’t underestimate the beauty of classic straight-back plaits. Add thick sections or hair extensions for added impact. Cornrows with Slicked-Down Baby Hair: Showcase your baby hairs by using edge control gel to create swoops and swirls at the front. Half Cornrow Crown: A '90s-inspired look where the front is cornrowed, leaving the rest of your natural hair out in spiral curls. Embrace the contrast! Blonde Cornrow High Ponytail: Keep your hair off your face by cornrowing the front and braiding the rest like regular box braids. Aim for a high ponytail for maximum impact. Remember to personalize your cornrows to suit your style and personality!
