Get answers to common questions about Cornrows.

Cornrows can last anywhere from two to eight weeks depending on hair texture, growth rate, maintenance, and care. Proper cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding excessive manipulation extend longevity. We recommend touch-ups or reinstallation when braids loosen near roots to maintain a neat look.

When installed correctly with gentle tension and proper aftercare, cornrows are protective and should not cause hair loss. Tight braiding or prolonged neglect can stress edges. Our stylists assess scalp health and adjust technique to protect delicate hairlines.

Dilute sulfate-free shampoo to gently cleanse the scalp, focus on roots, and rinse thoroughly. Pat braids dry, apply lightweight oil or moisturizer to scalp and braids, and sleep with a silk scarf or bonnet to reduce friction and frizz.

Yes — our stylists can feed-in or sew extensions into cornrows for extra length and volume. We match hair texture and color and use methods that minimize tension. Consult during booking to choose the best extension type and timeline.

Timing varies by style complexity and length—simple rows take around 1 to 2 hours, while intricate patterns or added extensions can require 3 to 6 hours. We provide time estimates during consultation to ensure comfortable scheduling and accurate pricing.

Use a lightweight leave-in moisturizer, scalp oil (tea tree or jojoba), and a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo for cleansing. A satin scarf or bonnet protects overnight. Avoid heavy creams that cause buildup; ask our stylists for product samples matched to your hair needs.
