Cornrow Styles - Cornrow Braids of All Styles

Dollar Cornrows by Evelin.
Cornrow hairstyles are a traditional style of braiding the hair close to the scalp. While usually done in straight rows, the cornrow can also be seen in complex geometric and curved patterns. Often found adorned with beads or shells, the cornrow hair style is favored for its easy maintenance. It can be left in for weeks at a time with careful washing and oiling of the hair and scalp.

Cornrows were a common way of styling hair in Sub Saharan Africa for centuries, and were continued in the United States and other countries by enslaved Africans. The cornrow hair style can be used to display social status, as well. Things like religion, age, kinship, status, and ethnicity can all be conveyed. In the 1960’s the styles became widely popular among African Americans as a way to highlight their natural hair texture.

Cornrow hairstyles can range from the strictly linear, in parallel rows beginning at the front of the scalp and ending at the neck to complex geometric patterns, swirls, and curves. Although it may be tempting to consider the more stylized geometric patterns as modern, ancient artifacts uncovered in Africa reveal geometric patterns in cornrow hair styles as well. The hairstyle survived the era of slavery, when it was common to shave the heads of enslaved people, because the slaves who worked in the houses were expected to keep a neat and tidy appearance at all times. These house slaves modeled their cornrow braid after more traditional designs, and kept the tradition alive.

After the civil war, many adults straightened their hair, but the cornrow tradition was once kept alive by braiding corn rows in the children's hair. Repopularized in the late 1960’and early 1970’s, and again with the hip hop movement of the 1980’s many of the cornrow styles and designs we see today are a conglomeration of the styles found in ancient Africa, some Native American touches, and a hint of modern flair.

One of the reasons for the popularity of cornrows is the relative ease of maintenance. The braids are often found decorated with beads or shells and can be left in for weeks or even a month at a time with careful protection. Cautious washing, along with regular oiling of the scalp and hair create a long lasting, simple and quick hairstyle sure to complement almost any person's lifestyle.

How to do a Hair Consultation

Deciding a new hairstyle or color change is the really hard part. Why? Because there is no guarantee from a salon that you will get a new best style for you & you will like it. There is no trial-and-error method in cutting hair. And it should be done before you begin any type of hair service at the salon. It's recommended that you should always ask an experienced hairstylist before choosing a new hairstyle. A hair consultation is the best way for you to ask & communicate with your hairstylist and is the most important role that you will play at the salon. It is also the only real control that you will have in determining the outcome.

When making an appointment for a consultation, ask to have it at a quiet time when your stylist can give you their full attention. It takes only a few minutes, don't settle for a rushed talk as this is where problems and misunderstandings can occur.

You will need to give your stylist the following information for a successful consultation:

1. Pictures of what you do like and don't like (on your own photo preferably). This is the most important. By showing your stylist pictures there can be no misunderstanding between you both and they can't say that they thought you meant something else or insist that you told them something else and then changed your mind. If you have no idea about hairstyles you like, you should research by yourself. Spend a little time to look in hair magazine and our hairstyles collection.
2. A little bit of information about yourself, about the occasion, your needs, and your capability to maintain your hair
   
3. Let your stylist knows your face shape, hair texture, & skin tone
4. Information about your hair's recent history. Things such as colors done and other chemicals used that could adversely affect the outcome of your hairstyle and hair's condition
5. Any past bad hairstyling experiences

You, in turn, must be prepared to listen to your hairstylist's advice and remember to ask any questions such as:

• Does it suit my personality?
• Does it suit my face shape?
• How about the ability to maintain it?
• What works with my hair texture?
• How the new color may affect my skin tone?
