Neat straight-back cornrows braided close to the scalp at Omega African Hair Braiding in Charlotte NC

The Styles

What Are Cornrows & Stitch Braids?

Cornrows

Cornrows are close-to-scalp three-strand braids braided in rows or custom patterns. Using an underhand motion, the braider works the hair flat against the scalp to build neat, even tracks that can run straight back, curve, or form geometric designs. They're one of the most versatile and enduring African braiding styles — low-maintenance, protective, and built to hold for weeks.

Stitch Braids

Stitch braids are a modern cornrow technique that uses a threading method to shape each row. Instead of braiding flat, the braider threads and feeds the hair to create ultra-clean, raised, well-defined lines with a sculpted, polished finish. The result is thicker, more pronounced rows that stand off the scalp and catch the light — a bolder take on the classic cornrow.

Both styles are versatile, low-maintenance, and typically last 2–4 weeks with proper care — nightly wrapping and a little scalp moisturizing keep them looking fresh.

you want bold, raised, ultra-defined rows that make a statement — thicker lines with a modern, sculpted finish.

How It Works

We talk through your style, hair length, and the look you're after — straight backs, a custom design, or raised stitch braids — and map out the rows before we start.

02

Braid

Your braider parts, sections, and braids with even tension and clean parting, whether it's a traditional underhand cornrow or a threaded stitch technique.

03

Finish

We seal the ends, refine the edges, and walk you through aftercare so your cornrows or stitch braids stay sharp for the full 2 to 4 weeks.
