Cornrow Braids
At Rama’s Hair Braiding, located in Indianapolis, IN, we combine over 10 years of hair braiding experience to bring you the best customer service and hair care products. Our professional stylists are trained to create multicultural styles, catering to all hair textures for both men and women.
Enjoy our family-oriented, friendly environment while we serve you. We specialize in creating stunning and long-lasting cornrows, where hair is tightly braided close to the scalp in continuous, raised rows, protecting hair from damage and creating beautiful patterns. Well-done cornrows can last 4 to 8 weeks with proper care, depending on hair texture, length, braid tightness, and the braider’s skill.
Who Can Have Cornrows?
Cornrows are suitable for anyone with enough hair to braid, regardless of gender or ethnicity. They offer a break from daily styling and serve as a cultural expression, personal style, and fashion statement.
For those with sensitive scalps, tight braids can cause discomfort or worsen dandruff. To avoid hair loss from tight braids, ensure they are professionally done and not too tight.
How Long Will My Cornrows Last?
At Ramas Hair Braiding, we create beautiful, long-lasting cornrows that can stay vibrant for 4 to 8 weeks. Here’s how we ensure your style lasts:
- Expert Braiding for Your Hair Type: We tailor techniques for coarse, fine, short, or long hair to maximize hold and reduce frizz.
- Perfect Tension: Our braids are firm, not tight—ensuring longevity without damage to your edges.
- Professional Techniques: Clean parting, consistent braiding, and optional extensions for a polished, long-lasting style.
- Nighttime Protection: Wrap your hair with a satin or silk scarf to reduce frizz.
- Scalp Care: Moisturize regularly with lightweight oils to keep your scalp healthy.
- Gentle Washing: Use diluted shampoo to clean without loosening your braids.

Extending the Life of Your Cornrows
Nighttime Routine
Protect your cornrows at night with a satin or silk scarf or bonnet to prevent frizz and unraveling. Secure your braids without compressing them too much to avoid stressing your edges.
Healthy, Happy, Clean Hair
Wash your braids carefully using a diluted shampoo mixture applied directly to your scalp. Massage gently and rinse without manipulating the braids excessively. Ensure your braids are completely dry to prevent mold or mildew.
Scalp Oils
Keep your scalp healthy by applying oils sparingly with your fingertips. Oils soothe irritation from tight braids and protect your hair.
Edge Touch-Ups
If your edges grow out faster than the rest of your hair, have your stylist redo them to extend the life of your cornrows without redoing the entire style.
Cornrows: Do’s and Don’ts
Do Not Over-Manipulate
Avoid over-styling or handling your cornrows too much to prevent braids loosening and frizz control.
Keep Hair Hydrated
Moisturize your hair and scalp with water in a spray bottle, especially in hot or dry weather. Avoid over-wetting to prevent unraveling.
Don't Wait Too Long for Removal
Take out your cornrows after 6-8 weeks to prevent matting and breakage. Allow your hair some time to rest before getting it redone.
