'Cornrows', 'canerows' (in the Caribbean), and 'boxer' braids are all the same thing. Three-strand plaits that are tight to the scalp, with the strands woven underneath so they pop off your head.

How much do Cornrows cost? Depending on the salon, the prices can range anywhere from $25 to $175. For a simple cornrow job with no extensions, most jobs will start at $25 to around $45. Complex designs or hair extensions can cost upwards of $80 to $180.

If you have a busy lifestyle, braids are the perfect option as they provide ease when it comes to everyday hairstyling. Some extra added benefits of wearing braids are that they give your natural hair rest, promote growth and protect it from harsh environmental factors.

Cornrows are traditionally called "kolese" or "irun didi" in Yoruba, and are often nicknamed "didi braids" in the Nigerian diaspora. Cornrows are worn by both sexes, and are, on some occasions, adorned with beads, hair cuffs, or cowrie shells.
