The hair is cornrowed in a Belgian waffle pattern to give a distinctive shape. Cornrows are popular among African-Americans with many new designs/patterns created over the years.

dats weird but cool 2!!! oh and his grade of hair is beautiful
I’m the braid artist who did that style. The model is a friend of mine, RZ. The first braider to do it and post something like it online is one of my African hairstyling students, Tudi Vaughan.
It took about 4 hours, and is easier than it looks. You just have to construct a special tool for it. I have instructions on my site.
Great Job
im a hair stylist also and i think you did a wonderful job. Anyone who knows the power of beauty knows it takes time and energy. keep up the good work;)
that’s awesome … how much do you charge for that because i want to get it done and none of the hair stylists near me seem able to do it
My hair is 14inz long and I’m in Chi,Il. . . Any help with who can do this for me?
THANX!
With out a doubt one of the finest balanced styles I have ever seen. I have heard that this style contributes to baldness over time. Has this been your experience
I want to know how to do that!! it is SO cool!
i did this design years ago fnny how people come on here saying the first artist to do it blah blah when its just over lapping and we dont call it waffle its called a basket but the person who did his looks like crap if u want an honest opinion on it it could of been done better…
THAT IS TOO COOL… IM NOT A HAIR STYLIST, BUT I CAN BRAID AND IM GOING TO LEARN HOW TO DO THAT…
Fo all you hairstylist please tell me wat i shuld do wit my hair? Iam half black and half white. Any suggetions? I need tha help
To the critic, I didn’t say I was the first to ever do this style. I’m the one who did this model in this photo. If you can do better, I’d certainly like to see photos of your work, as we could all learn from it.
To the one with the question about balding, that happens usually because most stylists aren’t trained professional natural hairstylists. A professional understands to use the right products and level of tension for the hair texture they’re working with.
In this case, the model is a Moroccan with 3/4cm spiral curls. So a light touch is needed to get the hair to “ribbon” as you work with it. An aqua hair wax should also be used for this texture. One can get away with a flex gel, but the hair will then need a spray leave-in-conditioner daily after that. A water based hair wax provides just the right amount of oil and moisture, but gives a strong hold without having to pull the hair tightly.
can i ask what ur site is i believe ur extremely talented im lovin the braid up keep it up..not jus anybody can braid like that trus me i noe..lol..
