So, What Are Cornrow Braids?
Cornrow braids are a type of flat plait that originates from Africa and the Caribbean. And yes, you guessed it right — their name comes from their appearance which is similar to rows of cane or corn.
No Damage to Your Hair
You do not have to worry about cornrow braids damaging your hair. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Cornrows are the ideal option to pick if you are looking for a protective hairstyle. Having a professional braid you will ensure just the right amount of pressure and tightness of your braids, so you feel zero discomfort, and there is no damage to your scalp.

We frequently get asked by customers if such a hairstyle is worth a try. Our short answer is: Absolutely! These are braids that you can see on the street and on the catwalk.
