Get answers to common questions about Cornrows.

Cornrows generally last between two to six weeks depending on hair texture, care routine and how tightly they were braided. Regular scalp moisturizing and sleep protection extend longevity and appearance.

Tight braiding can stress edges and cause traction-related thinning. We recommend looser tension near the hairline, professional installation, and regular checks to protect fragile areas and avoid long-term damage.

Yes, but protect your style: wear a swim cap, rinse and condition after chlorine or saltwater, gently pat dry, and reapply light oil to the scalp. Proper care prevents frizz and mildew.

Appointment time varies by the number of rows and hair density; 2 to 8 cornrows typically take 45 minutes to 2 hours. We offer consultations to estimate timing based on your desired look.

Cornrows suit most lengths, but hair at least one to two inches long is ideal for secure braiding. Extensions can be added for extra length or volume upon request during your appointment.

Sleep with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet and use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction. Lightly oil the scalp, avoid heavy products, and gently refresh rows as needed to preserve neatness.
