CORN ROWS


Braids, cornrows, or plaits is a trend that will never leave. The Corn row hairstyle is a traditional style of braiding the hair close to the scalp. While usually done in straight rows, the cornrow can also be woven in complex geometric,slanty and curved patterns.
Corn rows were a common way of styling hair in west africa,and east Africa for centuries, and were continued in the United States and other countries by enslaved Africans even outside Africa. The corn row hairstyle is a braiding technique for black men and women,but is now a form of self expression, and, for some, a fashion statement. A lot of white and black celebrities like Iverson,Alicia Keys,Jada pinket Smith , have been known to wear corn rows .
