Cornrows braidsĀ are a traditional African hairstyle where the hair is braided very close to the scalp, in a straight line, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row.
The braids are often formed in simple, straight lines, but can also be styled in complex geometric or curved patterns. Cornrows can be braided with natural hair or with extensions and can be adorned with beads or other embellishments.
