Cornrows | |
| Perimeter braid |
Flat Four Strand braid/Even number of strands method This has a design flaw - it twists. I prefer an odd number of strands.

| Crown braid (can be done with a French, Dutch, 4-strand, 5-strand, etc.) | Combination braid (any time two braids join into one, it's a combo braid) | Classic braid (two braids of any type, usually pinned up) | Rosestem (like the classic, but only half pinned) |

| Cascade, aka Cascading Crown (like the crown, but with hair hanging down in back) | Loose braid (any no. strands, square four-strand looks good) |

| Long Hair Knot - this braid makes long hair look shorter. If you have to ask why anyone would want their hair to look shorter for a day, your hair is probably too short. | Long Hair Tuck - again, if you have to ask why, this isn't for you. |
