This is one type of African American common braid hairstyles. Cornrows braided hairstyles is very trendy among men and women.
Modern ladies, are you listening? Gone are the days when the elaborate hair styles were meant only for the ladies. The poor men use to wear wigs (those who had high ranks or held lofty designations) otherwise they had to be content with tying their hair at the back in the proverbial ponytail. But now, that picture of the past has completely changed.
Now, men can have as many hair styles as that of the modern women such as cornrows. Men even have the advantage of having the same hair style as women and one such hair style is the cornrow or cornrows hair style. This hair style is very popular in United States of America and we often find the sport persons representing this country are flaunting cornrow hair style.
Cornrows requires a lot of skill and patience on the barber’s part and the person, who is going for this style, needs to sit patiently too for a couple of hours to achieve the final look. Cornrows hair style looks very intricate and weaving the hair in braided patterns is quite difficult.
The style depends on thickness and growth of hair. A thicker growth of hair will hold this style well. The barber has to part the hair in any number of groups. Then the hair in each group is again divided into three or four sections. These three or four sections are interwoven like an ordinary braid or they can be twisted a little more to give them a creative touch. Each group of hair is treated likewise, until the entire head is full of braids. Sometimes the hair is pulled back and the braids are weaved accordingly so that all the braids lie at the back of the head. At other times, the braids are made all round the head to obtain a round shape. Once done, the style can be maintained easily and there is no need to brush your hair any more. Rough and coarse hair holds the style better than satin smooth hair. The cornrows style gives you a distinctive look.
