About this style
Why book cornrows at Antwerpen Braiders?
Cornrows are the foundation of African braiding — and at Antwerpen Braiders they're treated as the artform they are. From simple straight-backs perfect for the gym to intricate freestyle patterns for events, every set is sculpted with even tension and razor-clean parts.
First-time client? We'll walk you through styles together. Sportswomen often choose 6–8 straight-backs for longevity under helmets and hats. Editorial and event clients lean toward heart, swirl or geometric freestyle patterns — book a consultation and we'll design something one-of-a-kind.
