Trending Braided Hairstyles for Men

3. Wider cornrows

Traditionally, cornrows use small locks of hair. But, by using larger portions of hair, you can create a different look that works for many types of hair. Like classic cornrows, the hair is braided very close to the scalp and moves from the forehead to the base of the skull. After that, the braids hang free. They are secured at the end of each braid.

This is a look that works for shorter haircuts, too. The braids won't hang as far from the scalp, but the dynamic pattern is just as appealing. This is a look takes less time than classic cornrows, since there are fewer braids. You may be able to attain this look at home with the help of a friend.
