Introduction:
Cornrows updo with a weave ponytail is basically two hair styles in one. The cornrows are generally small in size, and the weave is usually sewn or wrapped around the ponytail. The weave ponytail is usually done with curly or weave hair. Cornrows updo with a weave ponytail usually last two to four weeks. This process generally takes 1Ð... to 2 hours depending on the desired size of cornrows.
Cornrows is one of the healthiest of all braiding hair services. Cornrows are good for your hair because they tend to encourage growth. Many people get cornrows in their hair because they last a long time, and they require no chemicals that can harm the hair.
Cornrows have existed for a long time but not until recently have they become more acceptable. The end result is only limited by your imagination. They are very versatile. Braids offer endless styles and patterns.

Hair Preparation:
Before you start any hair care service the hair should be properly cleaned, combed, greased, and blow-dried. Follow these steps in order, as listed below:
1. Cleaning the Hair: Shampoo the hair twice; you can do it a third time if necessary. Then dry the hair with a towel. Apply a conditioner, and leave in for 15 minutes.
2. Combing the Hair: Use your rattail comb to part the entire head into four sections. Gradually separate the hair so it prevents tangles through the comb-out process. After each section is separated hold each section together with a rubber band or hair clip. Unclip one section at a time, hold firmly from scalp, and start combing the hair from the ends to the roots.
3. Greasing the Scalp: apply a thin coat of grease to the entire head from roots to ends. (I recommend coconut oil grease.) After combing and greasing the hair thoroughly re-clip the four sections of hair. Now it is time to blow dry.
4. Blow Drying the Hair: use blow dryer and comb attachment to perform the same procedures as the comb-out process. Start from the hair ends and work your way up to the scalp through out the entire head. Blow drying makes the hair more straighter and easier to comb and style. (Remember: To much blow drying can cause damage to the hair.)
Now you are ready to begin styling!!!
