How to Take Care of Your Cornrow Braids

Have your cornrows looking good and keep your natural hair healthy underneath with these pointers:

• Keep your cornrows moisturized: Cornrow styles are notorious for getting especially itchy, but that shouldn’t be case. Keep an itchiness at bay by moisturizing your hair regularly with a water-based moisturizer like our Tsavorite Spritz Moisturizer Spray.
• Seal in with an oil: Apply a natural oil to your scalp after moisturizing to seal in the moisture. We just know you’ll love our Tanzanite Hair Oil-a natural blend of shea butter, avocado oil, castor oil, sunflower oil and peppermint essential oil- all great for your hair.
• Wrap your hair at night: Use a silk or satin hair scarf to hold down your hair at night, and prevent it from getting frizzy. Using a bonnet alone may not be as efficient.
• Style your edges: Enhance your look by laying your edges with some edge control gel.

Overall, cornrow styles are perfect for the summer. These are just a few of the many cornrow styles you can try this summer. Don’t be afraid to show your braider one of these styles and have them make it your own! Because you are a GEM.
