Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Classic Cornrow Braids.
Typically they last 4–8 weeks with proper care. Longevity depends on hair texture, braid thickness, and maintenance. Sleep on satin, avoid heavy products, and book touch-ups when edges loosen to keep the style neat and prolong wear.
When installed with gentle tension and proper technique, cornrows do not inherently cause damage. Excessive tightness or prolonged neglect can lead to breakage or traction alopecia. Communicate comfort levels with your braider and remove styles if pain or excessive shedding occurs.
Yes — you can wash hair with cornrows. Use diluted shampoo, focus on the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and pat braids dry. Limit washing to avoid frizz and ensure hair fully dries to prevent mildew or scalp issues.
Appointment time varies by braid size and pattern. Plan for 1–4 hours for a typical set; finer, more intricate cornrows take longer. We recommend arriving with detangled hair and allowing extra time for consultation and personalized styling.
Yes — cornrows suit most hair types and ages when tailored correctly. We adapt braid tension, size, and pattern for children, seniors, and textured hair to ensure comfort, protect strands, and achieve the desired look.
Maintain braids by sleeping with a satin scarf or bonnet, moisturizing the scalp with light oils, avoiding heavy creams that cause buildup, and gently cleansing when needed. Re-tighten loose edges promptly and schedule refreshes to keep cornrows neat longer.
