CORNROWS

Cornrows are an ancient traditional African style of hair grooming. The hair is being braided very close to the scalp and by applying the right technique we are producing a continuous row. Most of the times our staff created cornrows in a simple way, like straight lines. In addition, by customer request, our cornrows in North York experts can create cornrows as geometric designs too. The appropriate maintenance requires very careful washing of the hair and regular oiling of the scalp.
