And the best part is that the braids at the back can be left loose for you to get creative with on a daily.

Half Tribal Braids

Tribal braids traditionally consisted of middle-parted cornrow braids that go straight back against the head, decorated with beads. Like many styles, this look evolved and changed over the years. Today, we can experiment with different widths of braids and unique patterns while doing tribal braids. However, the cornrow look is what ALWAYS sets this style apart.
