Does it vary on hair type

[@Lodeenie]

This is literally revolutionary for me! At 40 years old I cornrowed my own hair for the first time last year (thanks COVID) but I literally couldn't do a middle braid....until now! That first instruction changed my life! Thank you so much!!!!

[@myaaofc]

Yassss I can do side braid but not middle I don’t know how. …

[@user-dc5wu4dg8m]

Shoutout to all my black girls who still don’t understand how to cornrow even after watching all the videos on KZbin Edit: Thanks for all the likes 😩❤️

[@whitneyhayy]

This is me 😭😭😭😭😭

[@tinaw.6178]

I wish the instructions were better. Bring the hair in. In where? In to the left side? The right side? The middle? This isn't the best teaching.

[@Karina-zg2ne]

@@tinaw.6178 ok i'll try to help u out..my hair i short and wavy and i know how to canerow,trust me its easy..my hair has waves and is super hard to work with but im guessing u have curly hair so its wayyy easier to work with..i suggest putting your hands over ur head insted of putting ur hands on the side of ur hair..yes it does hurt more but just try it might just be easier and what u should do is when u part it into three u need to keep it super small so it can start at the top of ur head like hers did..when u have 3 small pieces now take either the left or the right and put it under the middle now do the same with the opposite side..if u did right first ur doing left again and u know...as soon as thats down u either take the left or the right and hold that along with a small piece and put it under the middle section and just for better explanation purposes...lets just say u take the right piece up with A SMALL AMOUT OF HAIR u need to put it under the middle section and u will now need to take the left piece up and do the same! Its really easy and i hope u understand what i mean..just ssaying this is what works for my hair and urs may be different bc as i said im white and have wavy ass hair that does its own thing and have this style in like 4days a week lol and hope this helped and if u kinda still dont undertand it i would suggest looking at Naptural85's video on how to cornrow..there she shows u how to do it with yarn and its colour coded so its super easy,thats actually where i learned to cornrow from! Hope this helped and i suggest watching her video and keep practicing!!! It makes perfect (we're all in quarantine im guessing so im pretty sure u'll have a bunch of time to practice and perfect it,sorry its soo long

[@tinaw.6178]

@@Karina-zg2ne yes thank you I watched no lie about 15 videos yesterday I'm going to try again in a day or two. I didn't understand if they were saying add the hair to the left and right sides like you're saying or add to the middle only cause one video I saw did it that way and that's how I did it the few times I tried and it's okay but not great

[@Karina-zg2ne]

@@tinaw.6178 oh ok well i hope u get it great soon! Good luck

[@sweetie9672]

Y'ALL I'm actually making progress with doing my own cornrows cuz of THIS video. if you're still having trouble after watching this you should really watch her finger placements and make sure you're doing the exact same way cuz I was doing it wrong at first. and when you feel like crying just take a breath and keep trying 😅 thank you so much for this video!!!

[@125loopy]

I love that Londoners say canerow! It's something Jamaicans brought over. It's cool how so much of our slang is used in London.

[@AidaKiraya]

Yeah it wasn't until a couple years ago that I realised how much of an influence Jamaicans have had on our vocabulary. It really is a beautiful thing

[@bonniebunghole8106]

It's like that in Canada too..so much Jamaican patois is embedded into Canadian slang

[@imaginephoenix3283]

jayariuh we didn’t ‘take’ their slang. That’s what happens when a place is colonized

[@megannurse4034]

We say that in Trinidad and Tobago too!

[@andreajules2643]

It’s a Caribbean thing.. not just Jamaica.. in Trinidad we say ‘Canerow’ also

OMG!! After several years of trying to cornrow with no success, I finally got it!! Thank you so much!! You are the first person that explain the theory so well ❤️

[@frenchvanilla619]

I have to say I have watched A LOT of how to cornrow ur own hair videos and this one is THE BEST! I was always confused about how to use my fingers and now I finally understand because of u! U explain and show what to do and how to do the absolute best So I thank u so so much 💯 thank God I found u! Thank u thank u thank u for making this video U ARE AWESOME!!!

[@ayubipesante8778]

this is literally the best tutorial on this ever, bless your soul

[@SincerelyLexy]

Wow I’m literally sitting here after 25 years, cornrowing my hair for the first time. I just kept coming back to your videos because the way you teach was sticking. And I realized I had been watching people cornrow OTHER peoples hair and not their own and that’s why I was getting confused. I love your technique because it allows me to smooth out the tangles with a free hand and I don’t lose my place. The cornrows aren’t perfectly defined but will help me in applying my first wig and this seemed like the hardest part lol

[@vivianahernandez1614]

You have to let your hands have eyes that your fingertips see. Sometimes when you do your hair it's sometimes close your eyes and feel your hair.

[@5dlos]

viviana hernandez facts

[@ccbritannia3608]

Yea true because whenever I look in the mirror I just get confused I do better just feeling with my hands

[@SandraRaquel19]

Yeeesss girl! I've tried several times doing it in front of the mirror without success and I finally got it when I was watching TV, only paying attention to my fingers

[@michelle_my_belle79]

I WANTED TO COMMENT ON YOUR VIDEO BECAUSE!!!! I have told people and said to myself for soooo many years that I cannot cornrow my own hair! I COULD NOT DO THE TRADITIONAL METHOD!!!! I would literally cry trying to do it! Using the MIDDLE FINGER changed my life. I did my whole head after one video and was amazed!! Thank you sooooooo much!!!

[@satronpaint8463]

I just can't do it. My fingers are still tripping over my hair...

[@B-MoreCity]

Don't feel bad it took me forever until I learned how to cornrow.

[@avannajoy]

This is the first cornrow tutorial that actually worked for me! Now look, my first one was a struggle braid but I see the progress okayyyy.

[@nichenene]

I've been watching this video for the past year and a half over and over again and I think I am starting to get the technique down!

[@TheUrgeToLeaveAComment]

flipping the screen made so much of a difference and they way you explain is so easy to understand thank you so much!!!!! I feel like i can finally do it!!!

[@simplyanicia8610]

thank you so much, all of these 14 years I know how to cornrow

Thank God I found you. Been yearning to learn how to braid. Got the right channel. Thank you siz.

Just tried to do this for an hour and couldn’t then I cried.

[@Desirevawda]

😂

[@Popcontrol]

I feel this

[@someferalkid]

I'm gonna practice on my wife. I just had a friend do my hair so I can't try on mine yet. This is without a doubt the best explained (for the smooth brained like myself) to explain how to keep the braid traveling. Not just and individual twist.

[@ddickers7051]

Greeeaat tutorial❣ One of the best if not the best I've seen so far. This is exactly what I've been looking for, step by step in details. Thank you.

Love how soft and shiny your hair looks

[@lisas4387]

Best Tutorial on how to do cornrows by far! Thank you 😘

[@naturalinstinct4950]

So glad you did it with no gel no edge control no hair extension. That's exactly how I usually cornrow my hair: only using my hands even without a rattail comb I know how tough it is. respects my friend

[@ParisDanielle]

I haven’t learned how to braid, but your voice is relaxing so thank you. Lol.

Definitely needed this for quarantine :,)

[@kitkat-bs3vu]

I can do them but once get half way through the braid I quit bc my arms be tired😂

[@ericdoward5640]

Your awesome! It took me a little minute to get it down pack. You made it simpler for me than all the other tutorials I've watched. Remembering my middle finger always grabbing from the index and thumb of opposite hand.💯

[@KyraCathcart.]

Ooooooo weee that one thing you said grab little bits of hair as you go that instant turned me professional!!!!! Thank youuu

[@lexxiontherise]

NEVER had anyone explain it like this. Followed your instructions and although ive had the concept down for years now this is the most neat and snug/secure ive ever gotten my cornrow to come out. Thank you new subbie

No I give up🙁. My arms r tired😂

[@011mph]

Since this pandemic isn't going away any time soon, time to learn lol

[@Tamiiprecious]

This is soooo well explained and amazing like the best vid I have seen on explaining because she honestly clearly explained and went through everything step by step and it was clear to see what she was doing but as soon as I put my hands in my hair it just wasn’t working out 😂 like I did everything she did but my hair kept getting stuck and I would always get confused on how to grab it and ughhhhhh so annoying

[@ClairesKitchenDiaries]

Thank you! I did it for the first time, it finally clicked! Just cainrowed my whole head Love and ratings for this 🤗

[@desireeanderson99]

I did it!!!! 😭😭 Now once I learn how to add hair, girrrrll it’s over!! thanks so much!

I love how colorful your description was! LOL And the pain of holding your arms above your head for an hour is just torture!! Without mentioning all the hair I lost in the process of learning! This hairstyle should come with a warning!!! I'm gonna give my hair a break for a week to get over this lesson!
