This hairstyle is commonly called cornrows into a low braided bun.

This hairstyle is commonly called cornrows into a low braided bun (or straight-back cornrows with a bun).

The front has neat straight-back cornrow braids, and the back is gathered into a low braided bun. The styled curls at the front are often called laid edges with curly tendrils.

If you ask a hairstylist, you can say:

“I want straight-back cornrows packed into a low bun with laid edges and front curls.”


This hairstyle usually takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on:
how fast the stylist works
how small or neat you want the cornrows
whether extensions are added or it’s done with natural hair only


If it’s very detailed and extra neat, it can take up to 5 hours.


This hairstyle is commonly called cornrow passion twists or feed-in cornrows with passion twists.


It combines:
Cornrows/feed-in braids at the front and sides
Passion twists (rope-like twisted braids) hanging long at the back
Curled ends for a soft, stylish finish


You can also describe it to a stylist as:
“Side-swept feed-in cornrows with long passion twists and curly ends.”

This hairstyle usually takes about 4 to 7 hours, depending on:

the length of the twists how small and neat you want them how many cornrows/feed-in braids are done in front how fast the stylist works

If the twists are extra long or very small, it can take 8 hours or more.

This hairstyle looks very nice on women. It’s neat, stylish, and versatile, and many people like it because it combines the clean look of cornrows with the fuller, elegant look of passion twists.

It can suit different face shapes and works well for casual wear, school, events, or special occasions depending on how it’s styled.
