However, there are other styles such as cornrow braided updo hairstyles, cornrow tree braids, and cornrows with twists, among others as we are yet to see detailed in this post.

 

  • Cornrows Hairstyles are easy to maintain as they require only washing and regular oiling of the scalp. And I believe this is true for any braided hairstyles as they all need low Maintenance. So if you have been looking for a braided hairstyle that requires low maintenance, look no further coz cornrow hairstyles will be the best choice for you.

 

  • The other thing that I like about cornrows hairstyles is that they look great on almost everyone irrespective of gender and age. This means that cornrows can be worn by both men and women; Africans, African Americans, and white ladies; younger girls or teenage boys, mature ladies or youthful gentlemen.

  • Retains hair growth. Braided hairstyles are known for retaining hair growth. Cornrow hairstyles are of protective braided hairstyles that will retain the growth of your hair.

 

  • Saves on time for styling most especially during rush hours. It used to be a little challenging for me when I hadn’t plaited my hair into beautiful cornrows. Choosing which hairstyle to wear more so in the morning when rushing to work was a great challenge for me. But after discovering or knowing the trick of cornrows, now I need not worry anymore coz these versatile cornrow hairstyles solved everything.

However, it should be noted that irrespective of the numerous advantages cornrow hairstyles have over other hairstyles; they take time during the styling process and since it involves braiding hair to the scalp in a series of rows, may be painful during and after the styling process.
