The iconic, timeless Fulani signature! A single central cornrow (cooté) is braided from the crown straight forward toward the forehead, flanked by symmetrical side cornrows braided backward. Two signature accent cornrows hang forward beside the ears.
The back section features medium knotless box braids, while the ends of the front side braids are embellished with stacked natural wooden beads. The color palette pairs rich jet black or dark espresso braids with warm oak wooden beads.

Step-by-Step Styling Guide
- Part Central Axis: Part a neat, straight central row running from the crown forward to the forehead center.
- Braid Central Cooté: Braid the central row straight forward, feeding in extension hair gradually until reaching the forehead, letting the tail hang or tuck.
- Braid Side Geometry: Braid symmetrical side cornrows running backward toward the crown, leaving two 1/2-inch side sections in front of the ears to braid forward.
- Braid Back Knotless: Install tension-free medium knotless braids across the rear half of the head.
- Thread Wooden Beads: Use a latch hook or bead loader to thread 3 to 5 dark wooden beads onto the ends of the hanging side braids, securing with mini elastic bands.
