This type of hairstyle was made by the Los Angeles famous hairstylist – Erinn Courtney.
Now, let’s talk about a little bit about history. These beaded cornrows are originally named Fulani braids and they originated in Africa by the Fulani people. You can easily distinguish the hairstyle by the many beads and shells. This style demonstrates strength, independence and beauty and it has been known for centuries.
