As the short rains approach, it's essential to protect your hair from the elements. One stylish way to do this is by trying a cornrow hairstyle that will keep your ends tucked away and allow you to quickly wear a cap or hood.

Published on September 17, 2019, this protective hairstyle is perfect for the rainy season.

Here's how to achieve this look:

  • Start by combing your hair through and applying a bit of hair pomade.
  • Make a parting starting from the back going across in a curve, then plait a cornrow.
  • Make another section starting from the middle of your head, then plait another cornrow.
  • Once you're done with plaiting, join the tips together, make one French braid, curve to the side, and secure it with a hair styling pin.
  • Finish the look by brushing the hairline using a tail comb for a clean finish.
