CORNBLOW

Excerpt from PEOPLE magazine regarding Kim Kardashian's cornrows:

Marjan told us, “Kim wanted to give her hair a break from constant heat styling,” making braids the perfect option, amplifying her natural thick locks with synthetic hair attached at the root. The entire process takes an hour and a half, prepping the hair with Oribe Gold Lust Oil, using Gorilla Snot Gel for hold and shine while braiding, and finishing things off with OUAI Soft Hairspray to tame flyaways. The best part of this look for a new mom is, while it takes a fair amount of time to install the braids, once they’re done, “she can sleep with them and wear the style for several days before redoing.”  

And good news for all you aspiring Kim K’s out there, a cornrow tutorial is coming on her app. Marjan said Kim is loving the style. “She has never said that they were uncomfortable.”

The media is sharing in depth cornrow info (along with a tutorial mention) as if Mrs. West invented the hairstyle. If you are not familiar with the process there are tons of "tutorials" on YouTube posted by "everyday folks" and some have been there for years. The media needs to---You know what? Never mind...I'm done. Blessed day to ya!
