Cornrows are braided directly against the scalp in continuous, raised rows, using either your natural hair alone or with added extensions for length and thickness. They’re one of the most foundational braiding techniques, with a rich history and endless possibilities for pattern and design.
Variations & Options
From simple straight-back rows to intricate curved and geometric patterns, cornrows can be customized in size, direction, and design. We also offer cornrows with extensions for added length, or paired into a style like a braided bun or ponytail.
Who This Style May Suit
Cornrows work well for clients who want a sleek, low-maintenance style, athletes and active clients who need a secure style that holds up to movement, and anyone looking for a quick protective style refresh.
Preparation Guidance
Wash and detangle your hair before your appointment. If you have a specific pattern in mind, bring a reference photo so we can map it out together.
Maintenance Tips
Moisturize your scalp every few days, avoid excessive scratching which can loosen the rows, and wrap your hair at night. Cornrows typically last 2–4 weeks depending on care and hair growth.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
We’ll discuss your desired pattern and part placement before starting. Cornrow appointments are generally quicker than most protective styles, making them a great option when you’re short on time.
