[@nf1995]

Love, don't give all the credit to lighting.... that's genetics and/or good moisturizing routine lol

[@Ketiana]

[@laralee7769]

[@moorebrandiplz]

The best explanation on how to braid! The white hair to explain was genius!!! I've watched so many videos and they are all literally redirecting people to some other video to figure it out. 😂 That was awesome! Thank you Maya!

I watched it with the volume off and I immediately knew that is what she was doing and I really like that she did it that way.

[@hxnbe]

Literally JUST started learning to cornrow my hair for the sake of styling my extremely heat damaged hair. THANK YOU!!!

[@shamelessmaya]

YAS! Braids are the way to go! I'm trying to grow this hair and relaxer out! I'm 50% there!

[@hxnbe]

Same here! I got relaxers /right/ after doing a big chop, and it landed me worse than where I started, UGH! I'm definitely going to put these tips to good use!

[@ThePresentTimeNow]

Shameless Maya Wait, you have a relaxer in?? Where have I been!!!

[@shamelessmaya]

Nijah Rada I feel you! Have you tried a rat tail comb? That helps me

[@nijyradanr]

+Shameless Maya I love you so much !! No I haven't but I will try that next time I braid my hair. Thanks for the tip 💜💜💜💜

[@SIMONESHARICE]

yesss I'm loving this video, every little detail from the lighting to edit is 100% PERFECT

[@AyoTinyDancer34]

Not only did you slay that hairstyle, you slayed tf outta the tutorial. Using the white hair was groundbreaking, that was the first time I've seen someone else corn row and be able to understand the movements they try to explain ! I literally subscribed just for that reason, first video of yours I've watched and I'm glad I found it!

[@CurlsNpolish]

Almost at 1M!!!! 💗💗💗

[@shamelessmaya]

ALMOST!!!

[@serenas3895]

I loved the way you use white hair to really show how to cornrow. This was super helpful and definitely the best cornrowing extensions tutorial I've seen

[@shaywilliams7969]

I can braid, but I usually ALWAYS have someone braid my hair! I usually don't like doing my own hair, but this is super easy looking. I'm goin2 practice it until my braids look great! It sho will save me some money! thanks!

[@shamelessmaya]

GURL!!!! I love being able to braid my own hair! Saves me money and time for an everyday look. But I will pop in the salon for an event :)

[@elena.1206]

This is the first video of Maya I've ever seen and I already LOVE HER! Her personality is SO adorable! 💜💜

[@sadiezanzuri6956]

OMG 😲 I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EARLY!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️

[@shamelessmaya]

YAS!!!

[@MilgrisLiz]

The vibes!!!! The summer vibes! 😻 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽 Your glow is out of this world! Omg!

[@rachel-ig9rw]

When ppl say "ur skin is glowing" they mean ur skin girlllllll!!!!...like its amazingggg to see it..😍😍😍😍😍

[@LoveDontJudge123]

I have quite muscular shoulders and arms and I can be a bit like insecure about it sometimes so it's so inspiration and encouraging to see another woman shameless showing off hers ❤️ Also great video!

[@thelastmohican._]

Yes Maya looking like a bronze goddess so pretty! ❤️

[@mrsrockbison]

This video is so well edited. loved that she used the piece of white hair to show beginners like me how is it done you look gorgeous Maya

[@JessicaJ_]

You made it look so easy!!! Ima still try though 😅

[@deffenymaipson637]

Her natural hair is soo nice!! I love it

[@vanessa908121]

Love your How-tos and tutorials! Well done and explained beautifully! Maya, girl you do not want to know how long it took for me to learn how to cornrow until I saw this video lol

[@shamelessmaya]

Glad you find my tutorials helpful!

[@vanessa908121]

omgggg Maya replied I'm shook.

[@nicoya_beauty]

[@emoryf.3905]

BEST CORNROW TUT I'VE EVER SEEN! The white hair &black was genius. (Idc if you didn't come up with it but if u did, you're the BEST lol) I know how to braid but I do it slightly differently. I've been trying to learn how to do it the correct way so THANK YOU!

[@ItspronouncedJulia]

I am you said it correctly. I'm tired of people saying corn rolls. How does that even make sense?

[@shamelessmaya]

😂😂😂😂 truth be told though, when i was a kid i used to say corn rolls 😂😂😂😂

[@DreaminUnderStarz]

I use to think it was "corn rose" hehe

[@livismith5007]

ItspronouncedJulia lol, I'm mixed and my mom says it like that, and I'm just sitting here losing patience like "sigh"...

[@nicholle82]

In Jamaica we say "Cane Row" (no 's'), and think its bougie when ppl say Corn Rows. Now I realise its all cultural!

[@livismith5007]

Nicole CC. lol, I suppose the word originated from somewhere, and as it traveled it evolved.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

YOU. BETTTTTER. WORK. MAYA. YAAAAS. The glow, the braids, the everythangggg girl!

[@VanessaBlanco]

THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING! You out did yourself with this one! LOVE IT GIRL ❤️

[@Ashley-og9ti]

Gosh Maya, you are so talented!!! I loved how you showed the tutorial with white synthetic hair so we could see what you were doing better! Your editing and creativity is always on point. You're so beautiful, professional, & down to earth. I just love u!!

[@simplymaraxo]

Okay Maya I see you with the toned arms and sunkissed glowy skin! Okurrrr

[@TZeloMrsZelo]

Best tutorial ever! I just don’t have patience😂 I’ll keep trying tho, love your video btw❤️💕

[@kawsydaisy]

Can you do a video on how to get such glowy skin on your arms, neck, chest? Etc

[@reneelb7]

Girl you are so entertaining and informative at the same time! I love it!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chiqsan]

Just a small but highly important TIP: please use a dry towel when dipping your hair not your fingers. That water is hot and you will get burned. Trust me I know.

[@mackenziepalmer]

CHiiQ It's not surprisingly not that hot, once you let it cool for like 20 secs

[@beauty.by.celeste8264]

OMG! I have been trying to figure out how to braid in my extensions for months! I kept trying to do it as if they were singles and thats where I was messing up! So helpful!

[@queenjazmyne]

Woooo Trini gyal here love the music, Soca to the world.

[@canders207]

I've never watched a braiding video where I felt like it was so clear I could actually attempt to braid my hair after, imma try now thank you!!

[@kayas4809]

So I'm mixed and my entire life I've whitewashed myself (especially in elementary school) cuz people would make fun of me for having interracial parents. I'd never go outside because I didn't want to tan (I'm literally as pale as a ghost now) and I'd always bleach my hair and straighten because I wanted to be like one of the pretty blonde white girls at my school. Now I'm trying to embrace my culture and I really want to try braids/cornrows but I'm kinda afraid cuz of how white I look. I'm starting to get a bit darker but I still look super white and I'm so afraid of culture appropriation. Do you think it's ok for me to try this? I really want to and my dad really wants me to as well cuz he's happy I'm trying to embrace my Jamaican side more but I'm just a little nervous. My friends told me that they can tell that I'm mixed now but idk I'm still worried Oops this is long so no ones probs gonna read it but it's worth a shot:)

[@chatapratt7680]

Kaya S I totally understand. Im not directly mixed but I am lightskinned so I know how self conscious you can feel. I say go ahead and rock those braids. Just because you're half black doesn't mean you aren't apart of black culture and its never too late to start embracing it. Just because cornrows are usually seen on people with darker skin doesn't mean you can't rock them just as well. I hope this gave you the confidence to try wearing braids! 🌟👏🏽👍🏽

[@orionsoutro1794]

Kaya S gurl, do you. I am Asian and Latina and I wear corn rows. Remember!!!!! For every one person who doesn't support and like you, there are 10 other people who are right by your side. BTWWWW, I have friends in Africa who say that over there, they don't give a cap if a white person or someone of another race wears corn rows. It's a HAIRSTYLE. NOTTTTTT a sacred ritual.

[@awesomekb13]

Kaya S you should do it! You're half black it's a part of your culture, it's great that you're trying to embrace that side more.

[@chloemack02]

I feel you I'm not mixed but I do have albinism ( so I highkey look white ) but I get briads all the time get them I'm sure you'll look great

[@Rae-pz8oc]

Kaya S Yes! Go for it! Who cares what anybody thinks. Mixed or not braids look good on anybody in my opinion.

[@bagewr]

Omg so glad I found this video. I wanted to cornrow my hair so bad but I couldn't figure out how to part my hair straight. Thanks Maya!

[@warriorofthescars]

I'm white with straight hair... I'm enjoying this way too much tbh 😍

[@norahook258]

me 2 except i'm a curly girl.

[@AnnieDreaXO]

Maya you are so good! I struggle with braiding my natural hair

[@lovelygenise8178]

u made this so easy!!

[@AimiMidnightShadow]

Using the white hair extension was smart and less confusing! Thank you so much 💕

[@nicholle82]

When I saw the two fingers and coconut oil pins I choked on my tea 😂. Maya I wasn't ready lolololol

[@Angelxbaby88]

OH MY! look at that glow on that skin. You look beautiful. How are you glowing like this?

[@shante4116]

your hair is growing boo

[@ms.payton1458]

Your skin is so flawless!!!!

[@okiedokie1817]

These are so pretty but I'm not black I'm Hispanic so Id rather not... Ima let you black girls rock

[@shamelessmaya]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@KarenGarcia-mn6og]

chckn nggt sis me too and i still rock my braids, hispanics/latinos have african roots do your research and claim your roots

[@LilBones2212]

chckn nggt yeah I'm white so i definitely shouldn't do it but cornrows are soo pretty

[@oliviamalathy]

Karen Garcia The origin of the homo sapiens is actually Africa :) It's just that unfortunately many people don't appreciate that/actually believe fully in races and think race discrimination is still necessary..

[@simplyshama]

in africa, if we see non-black people wearing braids we literally don't care. that's a western thing. there are better ways to fight racial injustice than being divisive. as long as you're not mocking a culture, feel free to style your hair as you please!

[@snk309]

Just a white girl here trying to understand black peoples hair and texture and stuff. It's amazing how much you can transform your hair. The cornrows look very nice too! Nice channel

[@jalmon9478]

Look at those biceps! lol

Omg i love her personality and she beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheRealAlee123]

This was soooo helpful. Especially when you demonstrated with the white hair. Thank you!

[@nancy_hk]

The body though😫😫Let me force my ass back to the gym

[@tsaiyana]

so proud of you maya, you did a great job on your own hair

[@jessicanguyen5914]

Can we get a video of you laying your baby hairs !?😍

[@ellenandmoon]

in the depths of her youtube chanel there actually is a video about that hidden somewhere.

[@heidimarshall12]

The glow up is real! 😍

[@michelleshean5116]

Question: how do you all feel about Asian girls wearing corn rows. I mean no disrespect, and am asking purely for the sake of being respectful, cause I think it's beautiful and also very practical but know the feeling of wanting to protect something that is unique to your culture

[@reizrblade]

do it!!! I have braided my friends from different races and cultures hair before. Its a hairstyle. its not disrespectful to wear cornrrows its disrespectful when you are acting like kim k or her braty ass lil sister and try to take someone elses culture and make it your own and try to brand it like you made it.

[@shamelessmaya]

Michelle Shean Im Asian and Black and braid my little cousins hair and they're Asian. I always say do you, boo! Just don't be shocked if you get side eyes cause it comes with the territory

[@airilove17]

If you are are questioning whether to get it you shouldn't because understand you will get lot of hate.

[@michelleshean5116]

thanks guys, I think this is definitely a subject with a few grey areas to cover but I'm slowly coming to understand and form my own understanding of it.

[@ariel5841]

Please no

[@keias5806]

I'm living for this glow girl

[@CLoveBeauty]

The problem with this tutorial is .... its def for beginners. You can see the loop where it was added. The correct way to do this is to insert the hair but leave one end out and braid down twice then add the other end in. And dip them in hot water for several seconds(12 to 15)...NOT minutes! lol. #Its hard to explain but Your Welcome...🤗

[@marquekander590]

When it comes to your hair there is no wrong way how to do it. I'm she has seen other KZbin tutorials and decided she wanted to do the way she is comfortable with. No problem with that at all. Some people prefer knot or knot less, cool either way.

[@popcookie10]

WOW THANK U SO MUCH!!!!! Doing a tutorial w white hair was such an amazing idea. I think I can learn how to do cornrows now. Love u lol

[@OnyxGoddess]

Here Before the Snap Post....Idk which emoji to use 🤷🏿‍♀

[@shamelessmaya]

😂😂😂😂

[@Muva_Candi]

Showing us with the white is brilliant! I get it now! Appreciate your thoughtfulness ☺️

[@paikeakehlani5392]

Okay question and please don't attack me 😂 I'm an Aussie girl and I'm olive skinned, I really want to try corn rows because they are hella pretty and I surf and cliff jump a lot so it's convenient to have them out of my face, but will people attack me because I'm white and have cornrows?

[@laneyb8911]

StandByChambers _ pf course people will lol. As long as you are respectful and such iy shouldnt be too much. People will hate on you for whatever though. I corn row my hair at night to avoid using heat, one day I was late for work and wore it out and boy did I get some dirty looks and some whispers about me being white/hispanic with corn rows 😕 you will get hate, its about if you think you can handle it..they are so beautiful and practical though

[@calmsheehan4037]

You do you boo! Do what makes you happy and don't worry about the haters ❤️👌🏼✌🏼

[@unknogne]

I don't understand why someone would attack a girl for being white with cornrows so no.

[@ela5746]

No one will attack you, not in Australia, there's such a small amount of black people and most white people I know don't even know where braids originate. Just braid your hair, do whatever you want.

[@chewbaccawillrule]

MAYA you are glowing!!!! so gorgeous!

[@CheRhys]

Girl stop lying! You know you're not using that coconut oil anymore 😂😂

[@dabiela717]

so gorgeous I can't handle this level of slay from one person

[@jodynanci]

Thank God u said CORNROWS and not CORNROLL lol!

[@unknogne]

Jojobeeh right

[@thed.i.yreader1841]

WHY ARE YOU SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thanks for the video!.....and the white hair was brilliant for tutoring purposes Great job!

[@neghiethervil5606]

I want in on that coconut oil joke. Is it dirty? I bet it is.

I'm 27 and I'm ready to get a divorce and. move on with my life and fulfill my purpose but this is truly dead weight.. I'm growing he is stagnant and I feel I'm getting to old for this any advice Maya

[@CloroxBleach-jv8to]

I feel that you should do everything that you can to work-- a marriage is a promise and I feel like if something can be mended you should do it, keep fighting through the storm sweet pea follow your brain & heart

[@beautimarkd]

BeautyBrand Boss I know you asked maya but it sounds like you are ready to move on with your life and you should. Dont waste any more time, thats the problem with a lot of people, staying in unhappy relationships and living miserably just so they can say they have someone or not looking like a failure. Your happiness and sanity is not worth risking for anyone:) take care of you.

[@CailinnNoT]

BeautyBrand Boss marriage is a promise, you shouldn't have got married if you weren't ready for the storms marriage isn't always flowers and daisies y'all both have to be willing to work it out though
