Koroba is a type of Yoruba braid hairstyle.[1] Koroba means basket in the Yoruba language. The name comes from the shape and design of the hairstyle.[2] It is shaped like a basket upside down. The braids come from the middle of the head, downwards and spread to other parts of the head. It is a rounded circular hairstyle that comes straight or curled at the ends. Koroba is one of the indigenous Yoruba braids and represents one of the many traditional African braids.[3][4][5]
