Play around with cornrow patterns to create diverse Ghana weaving two-step styles. For instance, to make these styles, segment the client's hair into two halves (use a comb to cut through the hair from ear to ear). After that, braid twist strands from the neck to the center part of the head.
When you finish that, you can now plait the leftover unbraided hair. As you can see from the photos, you can make twist strands between two or three cornrows and connect the strands to the cornrows. Alternatively, braid medium-sized cornrows from the forehead to the middle of your head and add gold-colored decorations.
