Whose Cool Cornrows Are These?
Cornrows are one of those hairstyles that never go out of fashion — they look good, they keep your hair healthy, and the upkeep on them is relatively low as long as you keep them touched up and well cared for. It's no wonder, then, that they're a perennial favorite celebrity style. Can you guess who's 'rowing it in these pics, or do you need to brush up on your braids?

Love It or Hate It? Joss Stone's Threaded Cornrows
Last night at the MTV Euro Music Awards, Joss Stone had the most unusual hairdo of the night. While one side of her hair was swept into an updo, the other side was separated by cornrows laced with pale pink thread. We've seen her sport some unusual hairdos on the red carpet, but this is the first time I remember her working thread into her hair.

Three Tips For a Great Braid Out
The grass is always greener on someone else's scalp. Well, you know what I mean: Girls with curls often lust after stick straight styles and vice versa. We've gathered several tips for sleek blowouts, but let's tackle making waves, heat-free.
How to Use Canned Air For Your Hair
Let's say you went on a beach vacay, decided it'd be fun to get cornrows (à la Bo Derek in the Acapulco-based film 10), and then get home to realize you have no clue how to care for them. Shampooing, conditioning, or adding your traditional product to the newly braided part can result in flakes no matter how well it's rinsed out, especially if they're only on a small section of your head.Take my tip from a pal with dreadlocks – use that canned air ($5) traditionally meant to clean computers to keep your hair flake free. Since it comes with a fine straw, you can get into the tiny crevices and blow the air through to remove dust and debris.
Love It or Hate It? The Modern Cornrow at Custo Barcelona
We'll get to the hair in a sec, but first let's take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous, dewy skin on this model backstage at the Custo Barcelona show. Her braids remind me of cornrows (or over-braids), only they don't start at the scalp. I really like how there is a few inches of shiny smooth hair and then about a dozen or so individual braids flowing around the head.
