How To Make Cornrows Tight and Neat

[@MzNecessary]

1)Make sure hair is detangled 2)Parts nice neat and straight 3)Pick up the right amount of hair 4)Keep your fingers close to your scalp Great video ❤️❤️❤️

[@livieegee]

How do you keep your fingers close like I’m always holding at the ends to keep my strands separated. It’s so hard!

[@christinewamukota8764]

With me I can braid but my lines are never neat what might be the problem

[@SEven5luv]

@@livieegee it’s like pinching the hair as tight as u can, and keeping your fingers pressed on the scalp.

YOU SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!!! 9 zillion years of braiding hair that wasn't really tight, and it's because nobody ever told me keep my fingers on my scalp, LOL. So simple! Thank you!

[@acealoha]

Well explained

[@LeyJoD]

I still remember watching your previous video a while back and it finally clicked in my head what I was doing wrong and it literally changed my braiding to a whole new level!! I felt like the matrix unlocked and I was finally in the loop 😂 I love this video and I can't wait to see what comes next ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Been braiding my hair for decades and couldn't figure out why I braid other people's hair tighter than my own, it's picking up bigger pieces cause I can't see. Thanks girl!

How its gone take me to master braiding ? (Ima man and I’ve never done it lol)

[@juniorrose5138]

how long*

[@avy4714]

@@juniorrose5138 ik this comment was three* months ago, but practicing a lot can help you learn and make it easier to braid.

[@simply_dee6653]

I know everyone learns differently, some visual, some audio, but what helped me was to practice on a mannequin or on my friends/ my partner. I even used thread once, anything that is pliable enough for you to use to practice a basic 3 strand braid, will work. Once you can easily make a simple plait, you’ll be unstoppable when you move to more intricate styles/techniques. You’ll get there, you just have to have patience with yourself throughout the process. Hope this helps! ✌🏼 😊

Omg I can't even French/Dutch braid my own hair and I came across this channel where you're braiding your own hair. That is some true dexterity and skill.

[@Hillarymaryy]

Wow thank you so much. For years I’ve been doing it so loosely. Tried your advice and I done it like a professional. You need my money!!!

[@franciebogert1452]

Ahhhh thank you! Learning to do my daughters mixed hair and this was just what I needed.. I can cornrow but it doesn’t stay/looks loose! Will be trying this tomorrow!

I can braid but you got me out here figuring out my whole life. I use my middle finger to braid but pick up with my pointer finger. When I’m in a braiding mood I going to tryout you’re technique. I’ve been since I was younger and a pro stylists 18 years and my mine is blown 💨🤯🙂😍

[@a.whychild6591]

Omg this makes so much sense for me. As I braided further back on my hair I was not at the scalp, and didn’t even think about it.

Ma’am!!!! Do you know how many cornrow tutorials I have watched??!!! 😳 Watching your tutorial just made it click!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@vartatula]

Wow. I had to come back to say. I watched this video 2 weeks ago and just now braided 2 braids nicely in my hair for the first time in my life thank you so much for this. It really is easy as just using smaller sections and keeping your fingers on your scalp.

[@kaleamarie282]

How do you keep your hair detangled without it reverting back?

[@ehi6269]

After detangling a section of hair, put it in a twist. That way it stayed stretched. When you want to braid or style your hair, all you have to do is loosen the twist and fluff it out with your fingers and you are good to go. If you hair is short and won't stay in a chunky twist more than a minute, I advise you get small hair clips. Dt way you twist it out and secure the ends with a clip of Bobby pin.

Can I ask how make it still touching your head at the back? It seems to be tight and on my scalp throughout my head but in the back it doesn't take the shape of my head instead it goes kinda like straight down when it should be round and even if it does hold to my head after like a day that part loosens and the problem happens
