Cornrows

Cornrows

Cornrows are great hairstyles for sportsmen because the hair is fixed in place so it doesn't block the eyes or anything like that. Cornrows are a popular hairstyle with black basketball players as you can see

[Barber]

Forgot to post Richard Hamilton voted by the CNN to have the best cornrows in the NBA

[Lerry]

A very popular hair style among black men and there is no doubt that it really gives a grace to them. It is a very different style..

Cornrows and braids can cause havoc with your hair follicles and the hair strands themselves due to all the tension that the follicles/hair strands are put against from the braiding process and from wearing the braids/cornrows for long periods of times.

After the braiding process, you can encounter issues with both your hair follicles and hair strands themselves as well as an itchy scalp and a burning sensation in the scalp too (this is normal), so make sure to get this braid hair care product once you have the braids/rows set and use the product daily while you wear your braids or cornrows. Do also use it for a couple of weeks after removing the braids/rows to ensure that your hair bounces back to how it was before you braided it.

Lastly, do also make sure that you are taking a good amount of vitamin C either through fruits and vegetables or with a vitamin C supplement like this excellent vitamin C supplement. Vitamin C aids in repairing the hair follicle which can be damaged by braiding so better be safe than sorry and even begin to take that vitamin C supplement once your hair is braided.

Yes a product for after braiding like the one suggested above by TMHF is good. But also tell the person braiding your hair to not pull too hard when braiding!!

The long braids of footballer Gervinho. He is a classic example of how braids can destroy the hair and hair of someone thru traction alopecia. Pro tip to everyone, be careful about braiding your hair too tight

Some pictures of Milli Vanilli's braided hairstyles from the Milli Vanilli hair thread over at the Celebrity Hair section:

I find this hairstyle particularly sexy, especially when it is applied in a white man!
eg. Think of Edward Norton in Stone or Jared Leto in Panic Room.

I don't know why.

You guys should post pictures of (lil) bow wow and (lil) romeo with braids. Theirs braids actually looked nice on them -- I say this, because a lot of people simply can not pull of braids; they either look feminine or plain ridiculous. The only picture of the braid hairstlye I think looks nice is the one of the little kid -- the other ones look to feminine and/or odd. Maybe this is just my opinion, but I think braids are best suited for children and teenagers. Most, not everyone -- however, I've only seen very few guys with braids and thought to myself, "That looks raw!" The only older guy I've seen with braids that suited them well was Shemar Moore:

Sorry, I don't know why that last image came out like that -- can a moderators/administrator please remove that, thanks! The last image was supposed to be omarion -- I think he another older guy that looks decent with braids.



In my opinion, if you're older and want to rock the braided hairstyle -- grow out your facial hair, otherwise, it doesn't look right (that's just my opinion though).

[TheMensHairForum]

That looks pretty cool, buddy. You have mentioned some interesting names in the past, and those pics look pretty diesel! Feel free to post more pics in this thread or others, we welcome any content from our community members and images helps those reading these lines to get a clearer pictures of the hairstyles and to also get inspiration and motivation (which is very important too!).

In the picture that you got the embedding wrong, it was because when you clicked on the image in Google, you forgot to then click on "View Image" in the Google preview. Don't worry, it has happened to me a couple of times too

Jaden Smith cornrows

For the 2010 movie, The Karate Kid, Jaden Smith sported long cornrows that were braided to skin and left to dangle at the back. His style looked very well braided and he wore this hairstyle for the entire filming of the movie.
