Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about 4 Cornrows (Full Head).

With proper care—regular moisturizing, silk or satin at night, and gentle cleansing—the style typically lasts two to six weeks. Longevity varies by hair texture, growth, and daily handling; schedule touch-ups if edges loosen or you want a fresh look.

When installed by trained stylists with balanced tension and protective techniques, cornrows are low-risk. Avoid overly tight braiding, heavy products, or prolonged continuous wear. Follow aftercare, allow rest periods, and consult stylist about scalp sensitivity to minimize breakage.

Appointments usually take 60 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, thickness, and desired precision. We allocate extra time for consultation, gentle detangling, and scalp care to ensure neat, symmetrical rows. Arrive with clean, dry hair for best results.

This service is for natural hair only, but we can discuss transitioning to extension options in a separate appointment. Extensions require different technique and pricing. Book a consultation so we can assess your hair, desired look, and timeline for adding extensions safely.

Wash, deep-condition, and thoroughly detangle hair 24–48 hours before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils or product build-up; hair should be dry. Bring reference photos and communicate tension preferences. Arriving on time helps us complete precise, symmetrical cornrows.

Moisturize scalp and braids lightly with water-based leave-in or oils, sleep on a silk scarf or pillowcase, and avoid heavy manipulation. Cleanse scalp gently every 1–2 weeks. Book maintenance if edges loosen; avoid prolonged tension for hair health.
