It depends on the braider, some are really good and can work with really short hair, others are decent, but need a bit more to work with. so it would need to be minimum 3 up to 6 inches, so if they can work with short hair, by the summer you should be able to get rows, if it needs to be longer, by thanksgiving. straight hair tends to slip so the braider may request you grow it longer then needed for curly hair types.

Growing up in the community I did, I can tell you from personal experience that you do not need much hair at all for an expert braider to give you corn rows (however longer is preferred). And it also depends on what the person wants the corn rows for. If you are just going to wear them as is, it will probably look better and last longer if the hair was longer, however for weave purposes it would be fine.
