Cornrow Braids Hairstyles FAQs 

What Are Cornrows Braids?

Cornrow braids are 3-strand braids with a 3D effect. In this, we wave hair underneath each other to create braids but also pick hair from underneath to add in braids. These can be made by adding weaves to hair.

Can You Do Your Own Cornrow Braids?

Yes, if someone is skilled in it. Otherwise, we suggest you go to a professional stylist so that your hair is not extremely tight on the scalp, which can lead to hair loss (traction alopecia).

Steps to Do Cornrows Braids?

First, section hair vertically from the hairline to the nape of the neck all over the head of the desired width, depending on how thick or thin cornrow braids you want.

Second, take hair from any vertical section and divide it into three sections.

Third, start making braids like three-strand braids.

Forth, after waving the hair two times underneath the middle strand, the braid is secured from getting loose. Start adding hair from underneath from each side you wave hair to braid.

Fifth, when you reach the nape and have no hair to add from underneath, switch to making a 3-strand braid.

Sixth, when you reach the ends of your hair, seal it with a knot and tie a rubber band there.

Seventh, apply the second to sixth step to every hair section.

How Long Do Cornrow Braids Last?

Depending on the type of cornrow braids and how well these are done, cornrow braids last 2 to 8 weeks.

Conclusion:

This article has shown you the best cornrow braids hairstyle for 2023 in different sizes for all hair lengths. The best thing is this hairstyle securely tucked away hair, so it does not require manipulation every day to style it. Therefore, it works as a healthy protective hairstyle and allows the hair to grow lengthy. But, if the hair is left unattended and unkempt after the cornrow braids, the product build-up and braids installed longer than the suggested period can severely damage the hair.

But no worries! All you need to do is have your favorite hairstyle installed and care for your hair!
