About Lateral Cornrows
Lateral Cornrows are a distinctive hairstyle originating from Yoruba culture in West Africa, characterized by cornrows braided horizontally along the sides of the head. This style often leaves the top or back hair loose, creating a contrast between structured braids and free-flowing curls or waves.
