Cornrow braids are an easy and protective style to maintain for two to six weeks, perfect for healing damaged strands and encouraging healthy hair growth. Plus, it’s simple if you moisturize the scalp regularly!
Micro cornrow braids
Micro cornrow braids are tiny yet sophisticated braiding hair styles in small sections. Perfect for installing with natural or added human hair, micro braids often appear thicker than they actually are and last weeks with proper care. Incredibly versatile micro braids also give many styling possibilities not possible with larger or denser styles.
To achieve this effortless yet chic style, gather your braids on top of your head and secure them with elastic or shoelaces. Next, flat twist your braids a few times and wrap them around each other until they reach a bun shape – use bobby pins as necessary to keep them secure! Add some flair to your look by curling micro cornrow braids – especially ones made of heat-resistant human hair! Just be sure to use a clarifying shampoo, such as Mizani’s Style Shifter Society Wonder Crown Scalp Foaming Pre-Cleanser, and a hydrating conditioner on the ends to avoid dryness.

Center part cornrows
This center-part cornrow hairstyle is classy and seductive – a stylish way to show off your face! The symmetrical look can complement a variety of facial structures; however, rounder features may respond best. If you want something bold and artistic as an addition, play around with texture by intermixing mini cornrows with regular or jumbo braids for an eye-catching visual statement. Add gold embellishments to your cornrows for an eye-catching yet sophisticated look, perfect for formal events. Experiment with different shades of gold until you find one that stands out.
Cornrows with a feminine flair!

Gray cornrows
This style features two braids set at an obtuse angle to frame and highlight your brow line for an alternative yet refined look for special events or nights out on the town. If you want to add some edge to your cornrows, ask your stylist for some textured cornrows with crimped edges that create a visual contrast and an interesting visual pattern. Pairing this look with a gold cuff instantly transforms this style into an evening-out look!
Classic side cornrow twist
Try something more complex when creating the classic side cornrow: make four cornrows instead, with two outermost braids creating a round design and slightly thicker central cornrows for an eye-catching halo effect that’s great for formal events.
