Koroba braids have been having a real moment, an intricate cornrow pattern style that turns your part lines into the actual design instead of just a base for length.
These are the twelve versions I’ve been styling most.
Classic Koroba Cornrow Pattern
The signature swirled or angled cornrow pattern is the foundation, and it’s striking even before any extensions are added.
Koroba With Curly Ends
Curly ends soften the sharp, geometric cornrow pattern and add movement to the overall style.
Koroba With Beads
Beads placed along the pattern lines highlight the geometric design even more clearly.
Koroba in a Half-Up
Pulling part of the style up shows off the pattern from multiple angles at once.
Koroba With a Side Part
A side part changes the direction of the pattern entirely, giving you a fresh variation from the same base technique.
Koroba With Gold Accents
Small gold accents along the pattern lines elevate the look for a special occasion.
