Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Cornrows.

With correct maintenance—regular scalp cleansing, nightly satin protection, and avoiding heavy oils—Cornrows can last three to eight weeks depending on hair growth, braid tightness, and activities. We offer follow-up touchups to refresh styles as needed.

When installed and removed properly by experienced stylists, Cornrows are a protective style that minimizes manipulation. Excessive tension, prolonged wear, or improper removal can cause breakage; our team uses gentle techniques to keep your hair healthy.

We typically require at least one to two inches of natural hair to braid securely, though techniques like feed-in braids and extensions allow for more versatility. Book a consultation so our stylists can assess your hair and recommend options.

Comfort varies; slight tension is normal during installation, but severe pain signals overly tight braiding. Our stylists prioritize scalp comfort, adjusting tension, and offering breaks. For children we use gentler techniques to minimize discomfort.

Yes, but take precautions: wear a swim cap in chlorinated pools, rinse and cleanse hair after swimming, and use light moisturizing sprays. Sweat and water can loosen styles faster; scheduled touchups and protective nightly care extend wear.

Pricing depends on braid complexity, hair length, density, and any added extensions or accessories. We price per hour or set; book a consultation or call for a customized quote. We’ll provide transparent pricing before service begins.
