Head games: Extend your DIY cornrows ¶
Published on May 14, 2020, this protective hairstyle is a great way to keep your hair looking stylish and healthy. All you need is a hair piece and basic cornrow skills.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create this beautiful hairstyle:
- Start by combing your hair and parting it into two sections.
- Plait two cornrows at the back section, starting from the back to the middle of your head. Add the hair piece to the tips to extend the length.
- For the front section, plait three cornrows, two on the sides and one at the centre, then add the hair pieces to finish into a braid.
- Arrange the braids towards the back and then interlock them together. Use pins to hold.
- This hairstyle can last up to three weeks. All you need is to touch-up the hair line without adding any hair products.
