Neat Braided Cornrows

About the Neat Braided Cornrows

Cut & Silhouette: Description: High skin fade on the sides and back, complemented by tightly styled cornrows running from front to back, creating a structured, low-volume silhouette. Key Details: The sides and back feature a high fade, clipped very short, tapering down to bare skin around the temples and nape. The hair on top is tightly braided into cornrows, creating a distinct, high-contrast disconnect from the faded sides. Ear coverage: above-ear (ears fully exposed). Sideburns: faded down to skin, seamlessly blending into the facial hair. Nape/neckline: tapered to skin. Length: Overall: The hair is tightly braided; the unbraided length required would be approximately 4-6 in (10-15 cm). Front: Hair at the front hairline is braided tightly back. Sides: Faded from approximately 0.25-0.5 in (0.5-1.25 cm) at the fade line down to bare skin. Back/Nape: Faded from approximately 0.25-0.5 in (0.5-1.25 cm) at the fade line down to bare skin at the nape. The full back is Not visible. Fringe: No fringe; hair is braided back from the forehead. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: Hair at the front is tightly braided into parallel cornrows, flowing directly back. No bangs or fringe present. Parting: Multiple distinct, straight part lines run parallel from the front hairline to the back, separating the cornrows. Each part is approximately 0.5 in (1.25 cm) apart. The full part line extent is Not visible. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Coily (Type 4A-4B), tightly braided. Styled Finish: Sleek and taut due to tight braiding; matte finish. Styling tool: comb for parting, hands for braiding. Hold level 5/5 (braids provide maximum hold). Volume & Density: Description: Very low volume overall due to tight braiding and faded sides. The braids themselves add a structured, textural element but no significant lift. Thickness: Thick; dense coverage apparent at the roots and through the braided sections. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral-cool tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Uniform color; no highlights or artificial multi-tonal effects visible.
