Men's Cornrow Ideas and Maintenance Tips

When it comes to black men’s hairstyles, cornrows have always been a staple. Whether you’re aiming for a low-maintenance look that keeps hair out of your face or you’re trying to make a style statement, cornrows are a versatile and stylish choice. Let’s dive into the ins and outs of rocking those straight-back cornrows and some cool designs to keep you looking fresh.

How to Do Cornrows

So, wanna learn how to lay down those perfect cornrows? First thing’s first, make sure your hair is detangled and moisturized. Use a rat-tail comb to part your hair into the desired sections. Apply a smoothing gel to each section as you go to keep your braids neat and flyaway-free. Remember, the tighter you braid, the sleeker the look, but don’t pull too hard—you want to keep those edges healthy! If you’re not sure about doing it yourself or wanna try some intricate designs, hit up the pros at Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston. Samia and the team there are cornrow wizards!

How Long Do Cornrows Last?

Cornrows can last from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them. Keep them looking fresh by wearing a silk scarf to bed or using a satin pillowcase to prevent frizz and breakage. Also, remember to keep your scalp moisturized with some light oil—coconut or jojoba oil works wonders.

How to Wash Cornrows

Yes, you can (and should!) wash your cornrows to keep your scalp healthy and fresh. Dilute your shampoo with water in a spray bottle, and gently spray it onto your scalp. Use the balls of your fingers to softly massage the shampoo into your scalp. Rinse it out by letting water run through your braids, and apply a leave-in conditioner to keep everything moisturized. Try not to manipulate your braids too much to avoid frizz
