Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Cornrows.

Cornrows typically last two to eight weeks depending on hair texture, growth rate, and how well you maintain them. Nightly wrapping, regular moisturizing, and avoiding excessive manipulation help extend wear. Schedule a touch-up or removal once you notice significant new growth or braids loosening.

Properly installed Cornrows are generally protective, but too-tight braiding or heavy extensions can cause tension and breakage. We assess scalp health, adjust tension, and recommend periodic breaks to prevent traction alopecia. Speak with our stylist for personalized installation and aftercare tips.

You can swim and exercise with Cornrows, but protect them from chlorine and saltwater by wearing a swim cap and rinsing immediately after. Keep scalp clean and moisturized and pat braids dry to prevent mildew or buildup. Avoid excessive friction from rough towels.

Wash diluted shampoo onto the scalp every one to two weeks, rinse and condition ends carefully. Apply a lightweight oil or leave-in moisturizer to the scalp, and sleep on a satin scarf or pillowcase. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup or weigh down braids.
