Looking For Cornrows How To Instructions?

Cornrows (also known as cane rows) are one of the oldest and most popular braid styles ever created. It’s so popular in fact that even though it’s a traditionally black hair style, it’s been adopted by many other ethnic groups.

These braids take the least amount of time to put in and take out and it’s very easy to customize your own special look.

It’s one of the few braiding techniques that you can get really creative with. With a little skill and imagination there’s almost no limit to the looks you can do!

Let’s look at how these braids are done and how you can keep them looking good.

Cornrows How To Style And Care Tips

Here are some tips for styling and caring for your cornrows.

• You can either use your own hair or add extension hair to your cornrows.
• Your hair should be at least 2-3 inches long to create a neat cornrowed hair style.
• This type of braid style lasts anywhere from 4-6 weeks, depending on how you care for them.
• Braiding firmly (but not tightly) is the key to having neat long lasting braids.
• Braids made with narrower parts last longer than big ones.
• Put a stocking cap over cornrows before you wash to keep them neat and frizz free.
• Wash your hair once week with diluted shampoo.
