Cornrows Braids

Cornrows are a traditional African style of hair braiding, where hair is braided very close to the scalp in a continuous, raised row. They are created using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows can be formed in simple, straight lines, or complex geometric or curvilinear designs. Often used as a foundation for other styles, including weaves or extensions, cornrows are a versatile and protective hairstyle. They're celebrated not only for their intricate beauty but also for their cultural significance across various African communities and the African diaspora.
