LOOK: Cornrow styles we love right now
Cornrows are a hairstyle that will never go out of fashion.
Not only do cornrows look stylish, but they also provide several benefits for your hair’s health.
Once you have your cornrows done the style requires minimal upkeep.
Making a perfect option for those who don’t want to waste too much time styling their hair every day.
Besides being an easy style to maintain it’s a good protective style as well.
The style keeps your natural hair tucked away, which helps to prevent breakage and split ends, promoting overall hair health.
If they are not braided too tight, which they shouldn’t be, having your hair in cornrows can promote hair growth as well since the style reduces manipulation and tension on the hair follicles.
Another great thing about having cornrows done is that you have so many styles to choose from for different occasions.
Whether it’s a casual day-to-day look or something more formal, there’s a style for every mood.
Here are a few cornrow styles you can try next time you’re looking for something different.

Cornrows into a bun
For a look that is both elegant and eye-catching braid your cornrows into a large bun at the top of your head.
