Cornrows
These are tight braids laid along the scalp and were worn by Africans as a representation of agriculture, order, and a civilized way of life, according to history. In East Africa, the culture of Ethiopia and Kemet (ancient Egypt), cornrows seemed to be the higher class of fashion.
There was also the triple high cornrow of high-class ladies of Kemet down to Nubia and into Ethiopia, as well as, into Libya. These styles, which were very convenient among ancient Africans are now increasingly meant for adornment during special occasions.
Braided styles like box braids link back to the eembuvi braids of the Mbalantu women in Namibia.
