I have spent many hours looking for a thorough, detailed tutorial and not one has helped, until now! Thank you so much for taking the time and thought to make this video.

I’m 13 and my mom has been doing my hair my whole life, she’s 50 so sometimes she dosnt feel like doing it, plus she always tells me to learn on my own becuz I’m 13(she’s a hairstylist btw) and it’s so hard to learn! I try and try and I still don’t get it!! I just want to do my own hairr😭

[@trinitymoore339]

Same lol I'm 14 just learned how to properly oil my hair on my own. I can proudly say I now know how to put my hair in a ponytail without pooping all my head bands. Now the next step is learning how to part and braid my **own hair**. I mean we all gotta start from somewhere. ( Yes ik it's sad I just now learned some of theses that at 14)

[@daijahwilson9053]

I can relate. My mom went to beauty school so she knows everything about braiding and haircare. She expects me to be avle to blowdry, comb, cornrow my hair, etc. But it is very hard for me even though I try. Its hard bc she has to do a lot for me bc i cant even do it myself. Mind u, im in high school...

[@staceyslocs1856]

Same lol but im 11 and in jamaica 11 is like yhe stage u start doing stuff on ur own so here i am learing to cornrow my hair becuz...im tired of twisging and i wanna try something differernt!

[@ramonmcfarlane8361]

this is the best video i have seen so far, not only did you give clear instructions how to, but also put the camera view in a clear position to see what you were doing. i watched a few and had to learn on my own as others were to hard to see what they were doing, but this has definitely helped improve and made it easier to do it :)

i just tried this method after all these videos and i finally got it, bless your heart.

I watched this video so many times and finally I got and it's easy and everyone asks me how I did it I told them you!! Thank you baby!!😍😍😍

[@bremazowa]

Now I understand where I have been going wrong, normally I would try to cornrow my hair as if I was doing a french braid I didn't know there was a difference, lol. This tutorial is the best!

I have watched soooooooo many videos to no avail. You did the best job by far explaining the process. I was finally able to cornrows my own hair. Thank you 🙏🏾💕👍🏾

@@TheCamaroguy1967 Yeah and that's the reason I'm not going to put cornrows into my damn hair or dreads or locs...Also, it isnt "just hair", Becky!

[@TheCamaroguy1967]

Snow Bunny Prince if white people shoudnt even bother with cornrows, why are you here? I’m not white, I’m Native American, we used cornrows back in the day too, I don’t see how it’s any type of offensive for a white person to cornrow

[@Jaysterity]

Yay I finally got it!!! I think I watched this about 4 Times before I attempted it. Then I watched about 5 other videos of people just cornorowing on their heads and remembered the hand and finger movements taught here. Then I tried it without watching the video simultaneously and I got it!!! Thank you so much for the great explanation 😄

I'm almost a teen and I watched PLENTY of cornrows tutorials and I didn't learn it but I think I learned if from your video 😂😅 thanks 😊
