A cornrow braid is a type of plait that is woven flat to the scalp in straight rows and has a raised appearance, resembling rows of corn or sugarcane (hence their apt name). Cornrows originate from Africa and the Caribbean and are a popular protective hairstyle for both men and women with natural hair. Depending on how they are installed and maintained, they can last anywhere from 2-8 weeks, making them a popular and low-maintenance hairstyle choice.

Even though cornrow braids aren't a new hairstyle, they have definitely gained in popularity with A-listers like Alicia Keys, Zendaya and Zoë Kravitz all fans of the style.

What Are Cornrows?

Cornrows are tight, 3 strand braids that are braided close to the scalp. Their characteristic 3D look is created by weaving the strands under one another while also picking up hair from underneath.

Cornrows are much more than a hairstyle, originating in Africa thousands of years ago (there's evidence of them as far back as 3000 BC). Historically, braids have held a lot of meaning with different styles and patterns reflecting a person's religion, relationship status and ranking within their community.

In 1979, American actress Bo Derek appeared in the film 10 with beaded cornrows, starting a trend for braids outside people of colour. More recently, Kim Kardashian-West wore cornrows and Fulani braids and attributed her hairstyle to Bo Derek, which many felt erased the rich African heritage of cornrows. This has led to lots of commentary and discussions about cornrows in mainstream media.

Step 1. Wash your hair with the Love Beauty And Planet Hope & Repair Shampoo and Conditioner and comb through to remove tangles.

Step 2. Section your hair to create a vertical row from front to back using a tail comb.

Editor's tip: More sections equal smaller braids, larger sections will create bigger braids.

Step 3. Starting at the front of your row, take a small section of hair. Divide this small section into 3 equal pieces.

Step 4. Start the braid by crossing the left or right strand under the centre strand and then repeating with the outer strand from the other side.

Step 5. Next, repeat step 4, this time adding in additional hair to each side from underneath as you weave.

Step 6. Once you have no more hair to add from underneath, continue to do a traditional 3-strand braid until you reach the end of your hair.

Step 7. Seal off the ends with a knot or secure with an elastic.

Step 8. Repeat steps 2-7 until all of your hair is braided.

Step 9. Smooth edges with a toothbrush and the TRESemmé Botanique Air Dry Natural Hold Gel.
