Men - Wearing Cornrows
65
Cornrows originated from Africa, mostly worn by African/American females but now there are so many boys/men of various nationalities wearing Cornrows and it looks quite trendy. With Cornrows - the hair is braided close to the scalp. It is a popular hairstyle for teens and young men.
Lots of Celebrities now adorn this hairstyle and it really suits them. Example:
My Favourite footballer David Beckham. David is a Fashion Icon and changes hairstyles a lot. On a few occasions he has worn Cornrows
Beckham
Lemar Obika – Lemar a talented RnB Singer is from Nigeria, born in the UK. I have never seen him without Cornrows. I hope he gives me a call when his hairdresser goes on holiday, so I can stand in, as I can do Cornrows.

Good points
- It’s a unique look.
- It can be very stylish.
- The ladies love it. (don’t all rush to the hairdressers)
- It changes/enhances the face.
Not so good
- It can take 1 to 2 hours to do.
- If you do it all the time – it’s costly (unless it’s a friend doing it)

Lady E,
Great Hub!
Cornrows are very artistic! You are right they can be worn "stylishly" as you say. You have given some wonderful illustrations. I see you are sharing another facet of your
many talents as well.
Blessings!
Cornrows are a unique style and like every other style, not everyone can wear them. However, David Beckham could ware anything and look great! He is just pure class from the inside out!
I use to sport the cornrow hair style,but now I just sport the "long rasta dread locks"it's easier to maintain!
* Thanks Pete. You are right its nice to have choices, it used to be ladies who had lots of choices with hairstyles. :)
* Thanks Deborrah for your encouraging comments. I'm blushing. :)
* Your so right Nancy. Even if you put a grey wig on David Beckham, he'll still look good. lol
* Waren, "long rasta dread locks"? Yah man! You have to change your Avatar for aday so we can see it. Its quite a nice look.
Thanks for stopping everyone. :)
Hi Lady_E
In my country, South Africa the hip African men love wearing cornrows. I think it looks clean and you know that these people really take the time and effort to make themselves look good.
I never realized it took them so long to get their hair looking so neat. I will remember this in future.
Great hub!
Very nice hub. Infact, I used to think that it is an African afair, I now know better. Really, the hair style is worn by both boys and girls nowadays. The men in the entertainment industry are not left out. Thanks for sharing.
Great hub...I'm jealous because I have no hair...lol
YOu can't deny the time its fad, can you? It's the fad of the time. You guys, do enjoy your time while it lasts!
* Hi Laura, it does take time - but being beautiful or should I say handsome, comes with a price. Lol.
* Hello Philipo, everyone's wearing it. Sometimes I even do it for my brother and it really suits him.
* Aaaah One2get2no - as soon as you've grown it out, I'll do some nice cornrows for you. Lol.
* Nice to hear from you Pastor Tosan. Thanks

It's a good style for young people. It's good to have a lot of styling choices.
