This particular type of patterned braid style features a hybrid of small and large braids next to each other. They are typically braided in the pattern of classic cornrows, but with size variations.
Nevertheless, there is the option of switching up the pattern a bit while still sticking to the theme of braiding every other braid big and small.

Some of the most sophisticated braid designs are close to looking like pictures, where most of them need to be preplanned with sectioning before braiding.
The amount of detail requires a lot of practice in order to reach a certain level of proficiency, so having someone do them for you is your best choice to attain the best quality.

Most often this is achieved by sectioning off smaller areas of hair for the smaller braids that are to lead to the larger braids. The appearance of the small braids that taper out in thickness from the larger ones is what gives the impression of a fishbone.
This intricate way of braiding is a step up from more common, simple braided buns, and may attract a few more lingering gazes.

Hair accessories are another way to add bling to your style. These include various beads and jewelry, with most of them as clip-ins, since these are the most versatile and can be done as a finishing touch after braiding the whole hairstyle.
