If you’re a part of the natural hair community, you have probably learned that natural isn’t easy. It requires time, effort, more time, etc. That being the case, all naturalistas can appreciate a simple and convenient hairstyle option. Whether it be feed-in cornrows, crochet styles, or just throwing on a wig; there is one common denominator in the majority of convenient styling. That is cornrows. If you haven’t taught yourself to cornrow, you are missing out on some simple and affordable styles you can do right at home.
Here are hairstyles you might be missing out on if you can’t cornrow:
Feed-In Cornrows
This style came back with a vengeance over the last couple years. The technique and styling options have broadened, making it an even more desirable style. While some may choose this style for vacations or traveling, others are choosing it for pure convenience. In order to achieve feed-in cornrows, you have to first master the technique of regular cornrows.
Crown Braid
This style is hands down the quickest and most simple style to achieve. It is a variation of cornrowing that applies the same technique. If you are ever in need of a nice, sophisticated style on the go, the crown braid is your best bet.
Wig Options

Wigs have become increasingly popular since companies have opted to provide more natural-looking texture options. The most important aspect of wearing a wig is making sure it is secure. Cornrows provide the best foundation for securing a wig and protecting your hair.
Thankfully, it is never too late to learn how to cornrow.
My advice is to practice, practice, and practice again. Eventually, the technique will become second nature to you. For a look at where to start, what you’ll need, and tips; check out this tutorial on “How To Cornrow for Beginners”. As one of my highest viewed tutorials, it is sure to help!
Are you ready to become your own stylist and switch up your hairstyles at home? The hairstyles mentioned here are not the only ones you’re missing out on. There are crochet locs, curls, braids, and sew-in styles that all require a good foundation of cornrows. So what’s the hold up? You’re one tutorial away from mastering a new skill. And remember, practice makes perfect!
