Cornrows and braids are one of those timeless styles that have crossed all gender and ethnic gaps. In fact, nothing is more beautiful than heedful of intricate braids and rows and no two styles are exactly alike. That is why more and more people are choosing to express themselves and their individual style through braiding and rowing.
But as with all styles, cornrows come with their own special challenges and problems. One of the most obvious problems associated with any tight braiding technique is breakage. While black hair has fewer tendencies to break than Caucasian hair, it can still take a great deal of abuse if the braids are not done and cared for properly. In addition to breakage, you can also experience dull, frizzy and dry hair as a result of wearing cornrows or braids.
Protect your hair at night with a scarf or duerag made of silk or satin.
Keep your scalp moist. Do this at least 2 to 3 times during the week, using a leave-in conditioner.
Extend your style time by redoing your edges.
Don't leave them in too long once you see new growth.
My # 1 recommended product to use with your cornrows or any other protective hairstyle would be: Cantu shea butter ( Apple Cider Vinegar ROOT RELIEF + Peppermint Oil )
It's great for weaves, braids, locs & extensions and refreshes your scalp without washing or water. I use this product faithfully for myself and my 2 daughters. Let me know in the comments your experience with it. Also, check out my Pinterest page @Spoiled Chic Boutique
