Cornrows
This hairstyle features intricate, parallel rows of braids running across the scalp. The braids start at the front and are woven across the head, creating a sleek, cornered pattern. This style is often worn by individuals with coily or kinky hair textures, as the braiding technique helps to manage and style the hair. The cornrows provide a neat, structured look that can be worn for both casual and more formal occasions.
To achieve this cornrow hairstyle, start by sectioning the hair into the desired number and placement of rows. Using a rattail comb, create a straight parting line and begin braiding the hair, pulling it tightly against the scalp. Continue this process, braiding each section and securing the ends with small elastic bands. For a sleek, polished look, apply a light hold gel or pomade to the braids. The cornrows can be worn as-is or incorporated into other styles, such as updos or half-up looks.
