25 ASAP Rocky Zöpfe Stylest

Wearing his signature braids pulled back away from his face, ASAP Rocky’s braided style has been front and center for many of his modeling gigs. Fashion houses like Dior and DKNY are huge fans of the rapper’s unique look, and you’re just as likely to see his style in the pages of magazines as in music videos.

You might be used to seeing more cornrow styles with braids extending from the hairline towards the back of the head, but this center parted style is definitely making a comeback. Adding a bandana to the look works as an accessory to your outfit or a practical way to keep sweat off of your face during a workout.

Although he might not be an Internet style sensation like ASAP Rocky, rapper Pusha T shares a similar signature look. Pusha T’s braids tend to be a little bit longer than ASAP’s, making for a slight distinction between the two looks.

A ball cap can be a great way to hide your hair on a day when it just isn’t working or to enhance your style and tie an outfit together. Wearing his cap backwards and quite far back on the head lets us still get a look at ASAP Rocky’s signature braids.

With thick cornrows parted down the center, this braided style is a little more practical than some of ASAP Rocky’s other braided styles. Once hair has been braided it will stay out of your face until you remove the braids, making this a good choice for athletes or travelers who want to set their hair and then forget about it.

In another look from Pusha T, this braided style also gets accessorized with a bandana. Even if you don’t have a practical reason to wear a bandana or headband over your braids, they can help add an extra pop of color or to tie the look together like with this patterned bomber jacket.

These shorter skinny braids are only long enough to be tied together at the back, leaving a few loose pieces around the face for an overall look that’s casual cool.

If you want your cornrows to look a step above the rest, try this embellished style with lots of little braids framing the thicker ones. It’s a great way to keep all of your hair in place for weeks at a time while maintaining a signature style.

This looser braided style from ASAP Rocky looks like it’s grown out a bit, making it harder to see parts between each individual braid. While some guys like their braids to be looking new and fresh as often as possible, a looser style like this makes it easier to pull braids back into a bun as pictured and helps the look to feel casual and low-key.

Guys with straighter hair types can get an ASAP inspired style by creating two braids towards the back of the head and shaving everything else off in a clean, undercut style. If you have these tightly installed by an experienced braider, you should be able to get a few days wear before hair starts to frizz, and we recommend sleeping with a headscarf to reduce friction on your hair overnight.

While ASAP Rocky tends to stick to rectangular shaped parts in his signature braided style, you can switch the look up by creating triangular shapes in the parts between your braids. This might take a little more effort if you’re planning on braiding your own hair, but once you’re used to dividing the sections this style should be just as easy as the original.

This set of cornrows parted down the middle is made up of thicker braids, so that there are only about four or five braids on each side of the head. Try this one out if you’re looking for a braided style that’s fairly quick to install and keeps hair out of face.

Another style inspired by ASAP Rocky, these braids make for a clean looking style that will keep long hair in place better than if it was just tied back into a ponytail. For thicker-haired guys, keeping the back and sides faded makes for shorter styling time whether you’re wearing these braids or going for another look.

This super skinny braided look will take a little more time to have completely styled but allows you freedom if you want to tie some or all of your braids up and out of the way.

If you like ASAP style braids but also the clean hairline that comes with a lineup haircut, this braided look shows how it’s possible to have both at once. The hairline stays neat and frizzy edges won’t be a problem with this look, while plenty of hair is left long enough to braid.
