Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Cornrows.

Cornrows usually last four to eight weeks with proper care. Protective effects depend on hair type, braid size, and daily maintenance. Avoid excessive pulling, moisturize scalp, sleep with a satin scarf, and return for touch-ups to extend longevity.

When braided correctly with balanced tension, cornrows protect hair. Excessive tightness, infrequent maintenance, or leaving styles too long can cause breakage and edge stress. Our stylists assess scalp health, adjust tension, and recommend care routines to prevent damage.

Wash, deep-condition, and detangle your hair before your appointment. Hair should be completely dry unless instructed otherwise. Avoid heavy oils or styling products so braids hold better; bring reference photos and discuss size and pattern preferences.

Yes — extensions and color can enhance cornrows. We use high-quality synthetic or human hair matched to your texture, and coloring options tailored to scalp-safety. Adding hair affects time and cost; consult your stylist for best methods and maintenance tips.

Moisturize scalp three times weekly with a light oil or leave-in, mist braids with water and conditioner, protect at night with a satin scarf or pillowcase, avoid heavy manipulation, and schedule gentle touch-ups when new growth appears.

Appointment time ranges from one to six hours depending on braid size, pattern complexity, added extensions, and hair length. Simple straight-back cornrows are faster; intricate designs or added hair may require longer sessions. We give time estimates during booking.
