Can I wash my hair while wearing cornrows?

Yes, but gently. It’s best to use a diluted shampoo and focus on the scalp to remove buildup. Avoid vigorous scrubbing, and always ensure your hair is completely dry after washing to prevent frizz or mildew.

Are cornrows suitable for all hair types?

Cornrows work best on natural or textured hair, as it holds the braids more securely. However, men with other hair types can also get cornrows with proper prep and products that help improve grip and protection.

How should I prepare my hair before getting cornrows?

Start with clean, detangled, and moisturized hair. It’s a good idea to deep condition your hair a day before your appointment. Avoid using heavy oils or gels before your session, as they can make it harder to braid neatly.

Do cornrows damage hair?

When done professionally and not too tight, cornrows do not damage your hair. In fact, they can help protect it from breakage and environmental stress. Always communicate with your stylist about comfort to ensure the braids aren’t pulling too tightly.

What types of braiding styles do you offer?

We specialize in a wide variety of African hair braiding styles, including box braids, knotless braids, cornrows, Senegalese twists, Fulani braids, Ghana braids, and more. Each style is tailored to your preference, hair type, and lifestyle.

How long does African hair braiding typically take?

The duration varies based on the style and complexity. On average, expect 2 to 6 hours, but intricate designs may take longer.

Are there specific care instructions for maintaining braided hair?

Yes, proper care is crucial. Moisturize your scalp, avoid excessive tension, and cover your hair when sleeping to prolong the style.

Can I choose a specific braiding style, or do you have set designs?

Absolutely! We offer a range of styles, and you can choose or customize based on your preferences, ensuring a personalized look.

What types of hair extensions are available for braiding?

We use various extensions, including synthetic and natural hair. Your stylist can guide you on the best option for your desired look.

How often should I schedule appointments for braiding maintenance?

Maintenance frequency depends on your hair type and the style. Generally, every 4-6 weeks is recommended to keep your braids looking fresh.

Cornrows Preparation

Embark on the journey of getting Cornrows with confidence by following these essential pre-service tips:

1. Cleanse Your Scalp: Start with a clean scalp by washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo. A clean scalp provides the perfect foundation for Cornrows, ensuring that the braids stay neat and well-anchored.

2. Moisturize Your Hair: Hydrate your hair with a nourishing conditioner to enhance its flexibility and manageability. Well-moisturized hair contributes to a smoother braiding process and ensures a comfortable wear.

3. Detangle Thoroughly: Gently detangle your hair to remove any knots or tangles. This step helps the braider work with ease and ensures that the Cornrows are neat and uniform.

4. Scalp Health Check: Assess your scalp for any signs of irritation or issues. If you have existing scalp concerns, it’s advisable to address them before getting Cornrows to ensure a comfortable braiding experience.

5. Communicate Your Style: Clearly communicate the Cornrow style you desire to your braider. Whether you’re opting for a classic straight pattern, zig-zags, or intricate designs, expressing your preferences ensures a personalized and satisfactory result.

6. Hair Length Consideration: Discuss with your braider the ideal length for your Cornrows. The length not only affects the overall style but also influences how long you can comfortably wear the braids.

7. Avoid Heavy Products: On the day of your appointment, refrain from using heavy styling products or excessive oils. Clean, lightweight hair allows for a more precise and comfortable braiding process.

8. Relax and Enjoy: Come to your appointment with a relaxed mindset. Cornrows are not only a protective style but also an opportunity for self-expression. Enjoy the process and the transformation that awaits!

Cornrows Maintenance

Congratulations on your stunning Cornrows! To ensure their longevity and keep them looking fresh, follow these comprehensive maintenance and upkeep tips:

1. Gentle Cleansing: Regularly cleanse your scalp and Cornrows to remove any oils, sweat, or styling products. Use a mild shampoo and gently massage your scalp, ensuring that the braids are thoroughly rinsed. Allow your Cornrows to air-dry to prevent frizz.

2. Moisturize Regularly: Keep your natural hair and Cornrows moisturized to prevent dryness and maintain a polished look. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or a moisturizing spray, focusing on the roots and the length of your braids.

3. Scalp Health: Maintain a healthy scalp by applying a light oil or serum to soothe any potential irritation. If you experience itching, apply oil using a clean applicator directly to the affected areas. Avoid scratching to prevent damage to your scalp and the Cornrows.

4. Protective Styling at Night: Preserve the integrity of your Cornrows by protecting them at night. Wear a satin or silk scarf or use a satin pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent frizz, ensuring your Cornrows look fresh each morning.

5. Minimize Heat Usage: Limit the use of heat styling tools to maintain the integrity of your Cornrows. Excessive heat can cause damage to both the braids and your natural hair. Opt for heat-free styling alternatives to preserve the style.

6. Avoid Excessive Manipulation: While Cornrows offer versatility, excessive styling or constant manipulation can lead to fraying or unraveling. Keep styling simple, and if you want to change your look, opt for gentle styling methods that won’t strain the braids.

7. Regular Trims: Schedule occasional trims to keep your Cornrows looking sharp and prevent any frayed ends. Trimming every 4-6 weeks helps maintain a polished appearance and promotes the overall health of your hair.

8. Protect from Environmental Elements: Shield your Cornrows from harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds or excessive sunlight, as these can contribute to frizz and dryness. Consider wearing a hat or headscarf for added protection.

9. Listen to Your Hair: Pay attention to any signs of discomfort, tightness, or changes in your natural hair. If you experience any issues, consult your stylist for adjustments. Open communication ensures that your Cornrow braiding experience remains comfortable and enjoyable.

By incorporating these maintenance tips into your routine, you’ll prolong the life of your Cornrows and keep them looking effortlessly chic. At Eunice African Hair Braiding, we’re dedicated to not only creating stunning braided styles but also empowering you with the knowledge to maintain your look with ease. Enjoy the beauty of your Cornrows and embrace the confidence that comes with well-maintained, gorgeous hair!
