Cornrows under a wig: Refers to braiding your natural hair into cornrows—tight, flat braids close to the scalp—before putting on a wig. This is a common technique used to create a smooth, flat base so the wig sits naturally and securely on your head. Why Use Cornrows Under a Wig? Flat Foundation: Cornrows keep your natural hair as flat as possible, preventing lumps or bumps under the wig and helping the wig blend seamlessly. Protective Styling: Braiding your hair in cornrows protects it from friction, breakage, and environmental damage while wearing a wig. Low Maintenance: Once cornrows are in place, they require little upkeep, making them ideal for people who want a long-lasting and easy-to-manage style. Longevity for Wigs: Cornrows reduce friction and tension between your hair and the wig, which can help extend the life of the wig. How Are Cornrows Braided for Wigs? The most common method is straight-back cornrows: part your hair in vertical strips from the front of your head to the nape of your neck and braid each section back. The braids do not need to be extremely tight; comfort is important to avoid tension or hair loss. No extensions are necessary; your natural hair is braided and then covered by the wig. Additional Tips Begin with clean, moisturised hair for optimal results. Avoid braiding too tightly to prevent scalp discomfort or traction alopecia (hair loss from tension). Cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time if maintained properly. Cornrows under a wig are a protective, practical, and popular way to prepare your natural hair for wearing wigs, ensuring a smooth look and safeguarding your hair’s health
