About this hairstyle
Cornrows are braided flat against the scalp, straight back or at a slight angle. They're the ultimate practical style: neat, low-maintenance and ideal for the working week or school. They also make a good base for resting your hair between longer installs, or for wearing under a wig or headwrap.
Since the session is fairly short, it's easy to fit in on a weekday evening or a Saturday morning. Book on KOUTIVA and choose the date, time and neighbourhood in Douala or Yaoundé. The team calls to confirm the exact price based on the number of rows and whether you want added hair, then a vetted hairdresser from our network comes to you.
Styling tips
- Tie a wax-print headwrap at the back for an easy weekend look.
- Thin, numerous rows stay understated for the office.
- Add beads at the ends for a festive touch.
How long it lasts
They usually hold for 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the size of the rows and how well you protect them.
To prepare before the hairdresser arrives
- Hair washed, detangled and dry
- Braiding hair if you want longer or thicker rows
- A chair near a power outlet
- An idea of how many rows you want and in which direction
Care
- Satin scarf or bonnet at night to keep the lines crisp
- Lightly moisturise the scalp between the rows
- Try not to scratch, to protect the roots
Frequently asked questions
How long does the appointment take?
Allow roughly 1½ to 3 hours, depending on the length, volume and size you choose.
Do I need to provide extensions?
It's up to you: bring your own, or ask KOUTIVA to supply it for an extra charge shown on the page. Just let us know your choice when you book.
Can the price change?
The price shown is a starting price. The KOUTIVA team calls you to confirm the exact amount based on the number of rows and whether you add extensions, and the travel fee depends on your neighbourhood.
Can cornrows be done without extensions?
Yes. If your natural hair is long enough, the rows can be done without added hair. Extensions are mainly for extra length or thickness.
