trencitas

A diferencia de las trenzas que son más grandes. En este caso 'on-the-scalp cornrows' son 'trencitas al raz del cuero cabelludo'.
Peer comment(s):

agree María Luisa Feely : así es

neutral Refugio : Not all cornrow braids are short. What makes them cornrows is being braided close to the scalp, but they may hang far below the hairline.

English term (edited): cornrows

trenzas cosidas

Si buscas en google "cornrows" + "trenzas cosidas", obtendrás bastantes entradas. En algunos sitios, explicitan "trenzas cosidas africanas" o "trenzas cosidas al estilo africano"
Peer comment(s):

agree Refugio : Cornrows are sometimes, but not necessarily, supplemented by sewn-in hair extensions. Many children wear their hair in cornrows with no "sewing" involved.

Yo lo de "cosidas" o "pegadas" (que también se usa) lo entiendo más bien en sentido figurado (pegadas al cuero cabelludo, que no pegadas con adhesivo), pero es cierto que puede dar lugar a equívocos
agree Catalina Connon : Correct, and it doesn't mean they are actually sewn.
