Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Cornrows crochet.

Most Cornrows crochet styles last four to eight weeks with proper care. Longevity depends on hair growth, base tension, and maintenance. Regular moisturizing, gentle cleansing, and avoiding heavy manipulation extend wear; we recommend touch-ups or removal after eight weeks to protect your hair.

When installed by a skilled stylist and not overly tight, Cornrows crochet is protective rather than damaging. Damage results from excessive tension, poor maintenance, or leaving styles too long. We assess your hair and recommend appropriate tension, products, and removal timing to keep hair healthy.

Wash Cornrows crochet every one to two weeks using a diluted sulfate-free shampoo, focusing on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent mildew. Lightly moisturize braids and scalp with oil or leave-in spray, and avoid heavy products that cause buildup.
