Cornrows are a timeless protective style created by braiding the hair close to the scalp in clean, defined rows. They’re neat, low-maintenance, and endlessly customizable—from straight-back rows to curved, zig-zag, and freestyle designs.
Cornrows originate from West and Central Africa, where braiding patterns carried cultural meaning and practical function. The style traveled across the diaspora and remains a foundational technique in protective styling today.
Braids created close to the scalp by adding hair as the braid travels along each parting. They can be natural or feed-in with extensions.
Typically 2–4 weeks depending on size, design, and aftercare. Larger rows can last a bit longer; smaller detailed designs may need earlier refresh.
For feed-in cornrows, bring 2–4 packs of pre-stretched braiding hair (X-Pression or similar). Natural cornrows don’t require added hair.
We braid for security without over-tightening. You should not feel pain. Let us know immediately if anything feels too tight.

Cornrows (also called canerows) are formed by adding hair from the parting as the braid travels along the scalp. We offer natural cornrows and feed-in cornrows (using pre-stretched braiding hair) for fuller, longer looks without bulky starts. Styles range from 2–4 jumbo rows to intricate, small designs and 2-layer/lemonade variations. This is a great choice for active lifestyles, protective styling, and clients who prefer quick morning routines.
