Process & care
How it works
Together we decide on the cornrow layout, the length of the hanging braids and the jewellery. Combining two techniques takes some time; Cathy confirms the duration with your appointment.
To make it last
Check the jewellery before sleeping, use satin and care for your scalp regularly. The cornrows at the root can be refreshed if needed.
