Half-Up Braids on Curly Hair: Cornrow Front, Curls Back (Easy 5–7 Day Style)

My go-to braid hairstyle for curly hair: cornrows/braids in the front with curls in the back. I’m sharing how I prep, the gel/edge control I use, how to keep it frizz-free, and my night routine (pineapple + silk bonnet) so it lasts 5–7 days.
