Cornrows, or canerows are a style of hair braiding, in which the Afro hair is braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to make a continuous, raised row. Cornrows are often done in simple, straight lines, as the term implies, but they can also be styled in elaborate geometric or curvilinear designs.
Depending on the region of Africa, cornrows are worn by both genders, and are in few occasions adorned with beads, hair cuffs or cowry shells. The duration of weaving cornrow braids may take up to about 5 hours, depending on its quantity and width.Often favored for their easy maintenance, cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time if maintained through careful washing of the hair and natural oiling of the scalp. Braids are considered a protective styling on African curly hair as they allow for easy and restorative growth. Braids pulled too tight or worn for longer lengths of time and on different hair types can cause a type of hair loss known as traction alopecia.
Cornrows are a traditional way of styling hair in different global areas.Depictions of women with cornrows have been found in Stone Age paintings in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara, and have been dated as far back as 3000 B.C.The traditional hairstyle of Roman Vestal Virgins incorporated cornrows.
The tradition of female hairstyling in cornrows has remained popular throughout Native America, particularly in the east and south. Historically, male hairstyling with cornrows can be traced as far back as the early 5th century BC within Ancient Greek sculpture and artwork, typically shown on warriors and heroes. Artwork and statues of different Middle Eastern and Mediterranean civilisations dating back to the 3rd and 4th century BC also suggest that such hairstyles were common amongst warrior cultures. More modern male depictions occur in the 19th century Ethiopia, where warriors and kings such as Tewodros II and Yohannes IV were depicted wearing cornrows.
Cornrows were also used during American slavery to portray maps of the area to help escaping slaves. Many slaves were made to shave their hair by slave traders however braiding their natural hair was a way to keep it and be considered neat and tidy. The name also refers to either the corn fields or sugar cane fields in the Caribbean. Directions and routes could easily be show through the distinctive separating of the hair against the scalp. It is most commonly held that this idea originated from Benkos Bioho during his time as a slave in Colombia. Cornrows were used as an act of resistance across both South and Northern America.
Cornrow hairstyles in the United States also cover a wide social terrain: religion, kinship, status, age, racial diversity, and other attributes of identity can all be expressed in hairstyle. Just as important is the act of braiding, which passes on cultural values between generations, expresses bonds between friends, and establishes the role of professional practitioner.
Cornrows made a comeback in the 1960s and 1970s, and returned during the 1990s and 2000s. In the 2000s, some athletes wore cornrows, including NBA basketball players Allen Iverson, Rasheed Wallace, and Latrell Sprewell.
“History tells us cornrows originated in Africa. The intricate braiding of the hair indicated the tribe you belonged to,” explains Atlanta-based cosmetologist, barber, instructor and author Toni Love. “Cornrows on women date back to at least 3000 B.C. and as far back as the nineteenth century for men, particularly in Ethiopia. Warriors and kings were identified by their braided hairstyles.”
Still largely worn throughout West Africa, Sudan, and the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia), this style can signify one’s age, religious beliefs, kinship, marital status and wealth.
While addressing women at an entrepreneurship conference in South Africa, Atlanta-based master celebrity stylist Nancy V Brown says she noticed that cornrows are also a form of self-expression. “The women I met use shells, bottle caps, corals, fresh flowers and twigs, among other items, to adorn their cornrows and express their personalities,” she says.

IM SCREAMING BITCH
Yeah just saying doing this can make a girl spot(bleed) and it’s not because she can’t take dick it’s because you’re hitting her cervix aggressively and repeatedly to get your nut.
Sometimes that shit be feeling good tho, when they doin it right
That’s why most chicks don’t arch. Not all positions that feel good to your dick, feel good to her cervix or pussy. And if she’s not fully aroused then she won’t naturally expand like she’s supposed to.
Spreading awareness. Hoping this saves someone’s cervix 😭
