How long does my hair need to be to get it cornrowed or braided? And what is the diffrence?

My nephew (who is 5) just got his hair braided and it is, at most, 3 inches. The thing is with shorter hair is, depending on the texture, it may not hold very well. With enough gel and pomade, you may be able to get it to stay, but not for as long as you may like. Without feeling your hair, I can't tell you exact lengths. I can tell you though that cornrows would be easier to do because you keep adding more hair down your head. Braids would be very tiny on that short of hair %26amp; you may not be able to get a band on at the end of the braid.

Another option would to get a weave put in, but it would probably have to be glued in because I don't think braiding it in would hold very well with such short hair.

Braids are generally three-strand and not against your head. I guess the best way to describe cornrows is to say they're kind of like french braiding, in which you continue to add hair until it's tight and to the bottom of your head.

Final option is to grow your hair out a little more. I have never had problems braiding hair over 3-4 inches!

A really good braider could braid your short hair. The only way to know is to ask a braider if they can do it.

Cornrows are when the hair is crossed UNDER while braiding, and the braid sits on top of your hair.

Braiding is when the three sections of hair are crossed OVER one another while braiding. And the braid looks like it's IN your hair rather than sitting on top.

6-8inches of length is a resaonable length.,for braiding or cornrowed.

When brading we only use surface hair.

Cornrowed is; into the scalp and much more expensive,

smaller strands are used and will last longer.

There are so many types of braids now that do last a little longer.

Depends what type of look your after.

How much you wish to spend, and how long you want it to last.
