Cornrows are braided very close to the scalp and they expose the fine skin on the scalp. They are considered a protective hairstyle and also with low maintenance. This hairstyle is achieved using an underhand, upward motion to make a continuous, raised row. Cornrows are often done in simple, straight lines, also styled in elaborate designs.
