Will cornrow braiding damage my hair?

Cornrows will not damage hair if the braids are done right and handled with care. Oftentimes, the look desired is a neat, tight braid. The person performing the cornrows must be careful not to pull the hair too tight, as doing so can cause breakage to the hair.

Proper preparation is necessary before the braiding begins. Hair should be lightly sprayed with water mixed with a detangler or lightweight conditioner to ensure the hair is knot-free before the braiding begins. To minimize breakage, the hair should only be slightly damp; truly wet hair will constrict too much and when it expands during the drying process it can break off.

African-American hair will often damage less than Caucasian hair, since Caucasian hair is typically finer and more prone to natural breakage.

Cornrow braiding was featured in our local TV program and I have known from watching it that it's not bad for anyone who chooses to have it as long as it's being taken care well of. Since your hair is being woven into cornrows, it looks neat but it makes it now difficult for you to clean all parts of your scalp unlike when your hair strands are all free. So, the best advice that I have known from a hair expert is that you should take extra care of your braided hair because if you don’t, you will likely suffer problems like having dandruff to infection and you may accumulate lice because you cannot easily clean your hair.

It requires extra care. So whatever style you choose, you should get advice from your beautician.

Much like any braiding of the hair, cornrow braiding will not damage your hair as long as it is done carefully and you take care of your hair properly. When putting cornrows in your hair you should make sure that you have an adequate amount of tension on your hair, but also do not pull too much. If you pull the hair too tightly, the natural tinsel strength of the hair, the amount of pull before breaking, the hair may weaken and split.

Split ends are damage that can result from over-stretching your hair. A good rule is that if you can feel your hair being pulled then the integrity of the hair strands is being compromised. If you are getting someone professional to do the cornrows for you, make sure they understand the style of cornrow that you want, and if your hair is brittle or can withstand a little bit tighter pull.

Cornrows are notoriously tight and if thebraid technician is pulling too hard, they will not know unless you tell them. Communication will protect your hair from damage either by stretching your hair, or pulling some of it out at the roots. In any event, no cornrows are like French braids, and they will not damage your hair.

Condition your cornrows to ensure that the strength of the hair and the pliability is maintained because this will help your cornrows to stay and help your hair stay healthy.
