6. Asymmetrical Single Side Cornrow with Cascading Ringlets
Edgy and modern, this look features a clean cornrow or flat twist hugging one side of the head tightly, creating a striking faux-undercut effect while the rest of the curls cascade wildly across the opposite shoulder.
How to Make It:
- Create a deep side part, isolating a three-inch wide section on the side with less hair, running from the hairline back to behind the ear.
- Clip the heavy bulk of your curls safely out of the way.
- On the isolated side, create two parallel cornrows that track backward along the curve of your head, feeding hair in securely.
- Tie off the ends of the cornrows flat against the head using clear mini elastics, pinning them discreetly beneath the loose curls.
- Release the heavy side of your hair, refreshing your natural curl pattern with water and a leave-in conditioner to create a dramatic, voluminous waterfall of texture.
Tips and Variations:
- Tip: Lay your edges with precision gel along the cornrow side to heighten the clean, architectural contrast against your wild curls.
- Variation: Design the cornrows in a geometric zig-zag or curved wave pattern rather than straight lines for an artistic flair.
