My Grip Game has introduced a highly popular braiding style known as the “Corn Twist,” specifically designed as a protective hairstyle. This innovative style seamlessly combines elements from two distinct braiding techniques, drawing inspiration from the “kamikaze twist.” The concept emerged from the recognition that certain hair textures, particularly the thick and coarse 4c hair types, face challenges when attempting the kamikaze twist due to their natural characteristics, making it difficult to achieve a smooth and lasting result even with the use of hair gel.
To address this issue, My Grip Game ingeniously blended the “cornrow” and the “2 strand twist” styles of braiding to craft the Corn Twist, an exquisite alternative that not only lasts longer but also enhances the beauty of very thick and coarse hair textures like 4c. This revitalized hairstyle offers improved manageability and aesthetics, especially for those struggling with the natural tendencies of their hair.
The “Corn Twist” is aptly named to reflect its primary purpose as a protective hairstyle for Afro hair textures. Its protective qualities shield the hair from external elements such as wind, dirt, and water, reducing exposure and potential damage. Furthermore, this style minimizes hair manipulation, contributing to a decrease in breakage and damage, ultimately leading to increased hair length for those who choose to maintain it or similar protective styles.
