Cornrows are a black hair style, originally from Africa, that reemerged in American popular culture in the early 70’s. The cornrow is a tightly woven braid that is usually repeated in uniform rows, not unlike a cornfield. Designs are not limited to the traditional style though; and various cornrow styles have been created over the years. Cornrows, similar to dreadlocks, can be left in for weeks at a time, as long as some simple hair care routines are observed, helping to keep the hair clean and the scalp moist and supple.
