Cornrow braids are traditional braid styles that get their name from their simple and straight look that resembles rows of corn. They\u2019ve evolved over the years and now come in different shapes and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornrows are braided close to the scalp and, despite being protective hairstyles, can cause too much tension on the scalp and hair loss if they\u2019re braided too tight. They don\u2019t require a lot of maintenance and can last for several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural hair<\/a> is a perfect match for cornrows. You don\u2019t need any braiding hair. They can be small, medium, or large. The smaller sizes last the longest. You can braid them into many different styles like braided ponytails<\/a>, all back styles, and more. Natural hair can be braided into cornrows without the addition of any braiding hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re getting cornrows with braids, a part of the hair (either the front or the sides) is braided into cornrows while the rest is plaited<\/a> into knotless or box braids. This style takes longer than full cornrows because of the individual braids. Tribal braids<\/a> are a beautiful example of cornrows with braids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornrows with hearts and crisscross designs are really trending these days. The heart design is achieved by parting the hair into a heart shape and then plaiting the hair in line with the shape. The crisscross design is achieved by braiding two parts as halves and crossing them in such a way that the first braid is plaited down the second braid\u2019s line while the second is plaited down the first braid, as shown in the picture above. Choose a trending style for that creative touch that will keep you from regular cornrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try them in different sizes and lengths, add color, or accessorize them with beads, braid jewelry, or curled ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straight back cornrows are braided from the front of the head to the back<\/a>, close to the nape of the neck in a perfectly straight order. Straight backs are the simplest cornrow styles and they can be done in small, medium, and jumbo<\/a> sizes. The small sizes take the longest time to finish, but they last the longest. You can add braiding hair to reach your desired length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goddess cornrows are beautiful styles! The characteristic curls come from curly leave-out extensions or by leaving out the straight braiding hair<\/a> and curling it using rollers and dipping them into hot water to seal the curls. Goddess cornrows require more maintenance than regular cornrows because the curly extensions must be kept from tangling. Use leave-in conditioner to keep them looking fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornrow box braids<\/a> start as cornrows and flow into box braids. They\u2019re the best of both worlds for people who like both styles. You can do them as half-up, half-down cornrows plus box braids or even do the cornrows on one side to imitate a shaved side<\/a>. Cornrow box braids take more time than full cornrow styles, but they last a long time, and they look incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four cornrow braids are a gorgeous, quick, and simple style. Section your hair into four parts and cornrow from front to back. Because of their size, they aren\u2019t for long-term wear, but they will last longer than two cornrows. You can add braiding hair, stitching, or tuck them into a bun or ponytail. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1281,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[90],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1188"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7919,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188\/revisions\/7919"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/braidhairstyles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
