Learn to CORNROW in 10 min!

In this video I take it nice and SLOW and make braiding easy to understand. Don’t worry about “perfect”. You have to understand the steps first then get more advanced later. The technique I use is to use my fingers as a "bird" to demonstrate how "feeding the bird" will help you get the rhythm of cornrowing. If that simple method is confusing, watch the video in mute and I promise you will be braiding in no time. Get ready to learn!

First, I never thought I would be tearing up to a braiding video but here we are. The amount of grace and patience that you were able to portray in this video was a surprise gut punch for me. I absolutely loved this tutorial. For years I've tried to learn how to do my kids' hair and learn different protective styles but this was the first time that someone was able to explain it slowly and in a way that made sense and didn't come off as dismissive. It got to a point where I pretty much gave up and just started paying people to do their hair. However since the pandemic I've started to try again and I'm just grateful that I found your video as it's definitely given me some hope.

[@knotlessnation]

awwh thank you for sharing

[@ItsDinorah]

“There’s no such thing as perfection, you’re seeking progress” applies this to my hair and LIFE! 💕✨

[@knotlessnation]

YES hahaa!

[@snowwilson2373]

Motivation line 😎😍

[@nicholerenee7656]

I love this ❤️❤️

[@Seznumerouno]

Yea definitely in my case !

[@Seznumerouno]

Can't do this technique on myself!

[@kassandra3756]

Absolutely best Cornrow tutorial I’ve ever seen! Some people just have such a gift for teaching in breaking things down to where anyone can understand. Thanks

[@AlexDiesTrying]

7:18 This must be the cutest CORNROW tutorial ever. Good work.

[@muvates6498]

22 years of life and this is the first time I was able to do a cornrow 🥺🥺 mine barely look like a cornrow but you gotta start somewhere 😩 can’t thank you enough !!

[@knotlessnation]

omg thank you!!!!

[@sorpheajustice3644]

OMG!!! THANK YOU for this video! I’m a beginner, having failed numerous times braiding my sons faux hawk/mullet!? FINALLY, a vid that explains the hand/fingers positioning vs. just techniques for styles of braids. This was the most helpful/fastest demo of how to braid fast & efficiently. I am going to give this another try… THANK YOU!!!

[@1DawnTheBomb]

I love the "FEED ME" analogy. You make this look so easy. I need to keep practicing ”feeding the bird". Awesome video!

[@gipr6414]

I am so grateful after 2 to 3 hours watching different videos, I finally find one that really teaches how to cornrow in a simple way. I was frustrated but still determined to learn thanks to you. Now I just need to practice.

[@knotlessnation]

appreciate this!

[@vegetasamatv]

This is gonna be great for daddy daughter time (as soon as she's born)

[@lakishahaynes616]

Knock Knock, who is it? CONFIDENCE! #LETSDOTHIS!

[@YeshuaIsTheMostHigh]

I understand for the very first time. You got that teacher anointing! Lol thank you.

[@knotlessnation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yafavbrujita762]

lol she’s definitely a teacher, only video I’ve ever been able to understand, I’m ready to practice now!!

[@YeshuaIsTheMostHigh]

I braid my fiance's hair now. I got really good because of this vid!

[@jenniferclayborne365]

This video is a miracle. Usually I'm contorting my neck to see. The contrast of the bright blue nitrile gloves up against the dark hair is genius. I can see everything you're doing. The bird analogy is not only precious but makes it easier. I think I can do it now. Thank you a million times ☺️😃

[@knotlessnation]

yaaaaaassss!!!!

[@jessicasanchez4631]

I literally can’t do this I’ve watched so many videos I just can’t I’m dyslexic and i just can’t I’m in tears.

[@knotlessnation]

You can. Don't over think it. Take a deep breath. Walk away and then try again. Whether you tell yourself you can or can't, you are right. You got this!

[@nanyangeprossy5097]

U can dear I also like that before but first put it in your head before you it and keep practicing

[@mikaylavesztroczi8659]

Same girl 😭 I just practiced on my daughter and she is oooover it 🤣

[@Riva2023]

Dyslexia is also affected by mixing up visual with spatial senses. Relax and try doing it with your eyes closed and just visualizing it by feel only. Use a plastic model or someone who does not mind waiting. It will not hurt to mess up and repeat as needed.

[@AGreen-nx7tg]

Don’t give up! I can’t do it looking in the mirror but somehow I can do it away from the mirror, it keeps the focus on what your hands are doing. Just keep practicing. 😊

[@esotericcleric]

This is hands-down the best tutorial for cornrows.

[@knotlessnation]

thank you!

[@patrap4625]

The best tutorial that has worked for me

[@pycster]

This is the best tutorial I have seen. tried it a single time and got it!

[@knotlessnation]

yaay!

[@georgedewey6439]

I am a dad.....I want to learn because my daughter wants me to do her hair....this is the best video I have seen on how to get started...great job and the gloves did help!

[@knotlessnation]

Nice! Appreciate that! my father taught me to braid so this is awesome! thanks for sharing

[@marisarascon4564]

I’ve watched sooo many videos and this was one with feed the bird did it!!! And I placed my hands exactly like you showed. Feed the bird 🐦!!!! You’re a natural teacher ❣️❣️❣️

[@toussaintderby6806]

This video helped me to finally realize what I’ve been doing wrong with my cornrows! I feed the hair to the outside section, when it should be going to the MIDDLE section, i.e. the beak! Thank you!

[@knotlessnation]

Yes!!! so glad it helped!

[@toussaintderby6806]

Sooo... I still can’t do this shit. Can’t figure out how to hold my fingers.... have to get a mannequin head I think.

[@knotlessnation]

@@toussaintderby6806 haha oh no! yes don't try it on yourself first. any mannequin head will work. If you have a local beauty supply that is open or order from amazon.

[@toussaintderby6806]

Ms. Hair and Humor haha I was actually trying on my almost 2 year old son....not much better! Mannequin head in my amazon cart as we speak! What I’m having difficulty with is also seeing how to hold the piece closest to the pinky and ring finger...and how all the hair is in one hand...how sway?!

[@kristycase2401]

@@toussaintderby6806 I wouldn't worry too much about how she is holding because I can braid and how most people do it looks so confusing to me.

[@melerneaneff1703]

After watching many braid videos, you have been by far the easiest to understand. Thank you

[@knotlessnation]

thank you

[@irishkazolotse]

You are cute, and thank you for teaching us to feed the birds, it made such perfect sense! Best!!!

[@knotlessnation]

You are so welcome!

[@cloveless18]

My cousins always did my braids. I never bothered to learn. When i moved away from that I suddenly needed to learn how to do it myself. Braiders are too expensive. Sometimes they work from home and I'm really not comfortable with that (cause they tend to get too comfortable and act unprofessional). And I've seen truly slovenly "salons".This is the first braiding tutorial that made it clear to me. Mind blown. Thanks my friend

[@knotlessnation]

awww thank you i’m glad it helped!

[@kaylabrown5663]

As a white woman I so appreciate you and how genuine you are. Thank you for teaching me m, much love from Canada toronto xox

[@tapiteasy]

I am a grandmother and I consider myself to be a pretty smart cookie, LOL. I don't know why but I have never ever ever been able to corn row hair. For some reason I just couldn't get it. You my dear lady are my new best friend. I did it. I hope I don't lose it. LOL

[@knotlessnation]

Love that!

[@AlexiaAGallien]

Best video I’ve seen. I’ve been wanting to know how to plurais for a while. Gave up on it, but this makes sense to me. I can’t wait to try again.!

[@Nekole1]

Omg this video was so helpful. I am in my 30s and never knew how to cornrow. I am always going to the hair gallery to get hair done. Im now learning to cornrow instead of continuing to spend money. The past week I have been watching KZbin videos to learn how. But this one takes the cake. Love how you used the birds to show how to cornrow. That was a good idea. Best video I seen on this! Thank you so much

[@julianadepaula5938]

Best tutorial by far love the🤣 feed me 😭

[@cynnabennett7608]

Wow thank you so much! 🙏🏼 My 6 year old son is Australian/Zimbabwean and has ALOT of hair, so i have been try to learn, so i can do his hair for him instead of taking him to women that just want the money and dont have the patients to be gentle while he is so young. You have the greatest gift of teaching! I have been struggling for years to wrap my head around this, and after watching this I was able to successfully do a cornrow. Just amazing. Thank you thank you thank you. Ps you should start a workshop!

[@knotlessnation]

Aww thank you for taking the time to share this!! I am so happy it helped! I do have an online school I am working on @knotlessnation on IG!

[@knotlessnation]

[@CoachMai]

I’m glad I found this video. I think I’m so used to braiding underhanded with regular braids, that it feels so awkward to braid over handed. I attempted cornrows on my toddler’s 2c curly hair last week and I actually did pretty decent. I really want to get to this level so I will keep practicing. Thank you so much for your amazing tutorial!!

[@knotlessnation]

You're so welcome!

[@michellewinsborough5407]

Brilliant tutorial..feed the birds analogy was so useful after only a few attempts my fingers knew what they were doing..had to unlearn a different technique that I was shown but with this I had it down with a couple of tries. Thank you x

I can finally understand thanks to your video, I’m going to have to try this tomorrow on my sons hair let’s see if I can do it right
