Idea 8: Asymmetric Diagonal Cornrow Accent with Oversized Box Braids
Step-by-Step Guide
Partition off a small three-inch section on one side of the head, keeping the remaining eighty percent of the scalp reserved for large box braids. Create three to four thin, diagonal cornrows within this small side accent panel, feeding in micro-strands of extensions so the braids remain delicate and flat against the temple. Direct these accent rows toward the back of the ear and secure their ends neatly beneath the larger hair sections. Divide the rest of the natural hair into large, chunky square sections to create jumbo box braids using thick extension bundles. The stark scale contrast between the delicate, detailed side cornrows and the voluminous jumbo box braids creates a striking, balanced visual focal point. Apply edge control gel along the temple hairline to polish the small cornrows and keep the exposed scalp lines looking crisp.
