Hello ladies, have you noticed the weather is too hot these days for weave-ons and wig caps?

If you have, then you might be wondering the type of hair style you can rock in this yuletide.

If so, then relax. This is the appropriate time for braids and you can go in for cornrows.

What Are Cornrows?

Cornrows, also known as braids, are a traditional African style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows are often formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines. But they can also be formed in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs.

Often favored for their easy maintenance, cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time if maintained through careful washing of the hair and regular oiling of the scalp. If the scalp is not oiled properly however, prolonged styling with cornrows can result in dandruff and major hair loss.

Because of the way they are braided, they allow proper air into your hair. There’s therefore no need to complain of heat in the hair.

They also accentuate the beauty and shape of your face.

So for this festive season, if you’re thinking of going in for cornrows, here are a few styles you might want to choose from;
