UGHH I sometimes wish I could remove my head then braid it.
I'm saying
For real!! 🤣🤣🤣😩😩
🤣🤣🤣that’s the solution!!!
😄😄😄😄😄😄😅😅😅you and I both
For real. My arms be mad tired trying to do this.
* *starts parting hair* *
Gives up.🙄😢😂
Jazzy Legacy Damn I laughed at your comment and then did the exact same thing haha. I started trying to grab the three strands and was like “whew I don’t understand. I quit.”
@@ShabazzTBL 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 for real
lol that me 1000%
Lol
IM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP😭IF I CAN BOX BRAIDS AND TWIST UP MY HAIR THAN DAMMIT I CAN CORNROW🤣
😂
That's how I feel !!! Lol
Its harder for me a least because i have to keep my arms up. I cry. My 4c hair is a blessing, but a curse
@@bedeiwu4394 ooh my sister have 4c and she said it really hurts I have 4b
Does it vary on hair type
Corona has me doing my own hair because I can’t get my friend to do it for me like she usually does😫
Same here!
Me too!!!
I’m with you!
Same
Same! And I can't braid to save my life! 😂😂
Shoutout to all my black girls who still don’t understand how to cornrow even after watching all the videos on TH-cam
Edit: Thanks for all the likes 😩❤️
This is me 😭😭😭😭😭
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.
@@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
@@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
@@tinaw.6178 oh ok well i hope u get it great soon! Good luck
Best video ive seen explaining it and i still dont understand
otakus cant plait !!!
same smh
me
I fear the same thing lol I’m just watching it now let us pray
Same 😂
As a man I've always wanted to know how to braid so I could braid my future wife's or daughter's hair...
I should add that it's a good feeling knowing you're not the only one frustrated with trying to learn how.
Not many men make the commitment to learn something for their family's sake willingly. Applauds for you sir 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I can braid others but doing mine has me ready to press the button to the nuclear codes. Parting my own hair straight is extremely difficult and annoying.
Awwww that’s so beautiful 😭😭😭💙
👏🏼👏🏼 Good idea! And, you'll save a lot of money!🤣🤣
As a man with hair that hates just rocking the curly fro you are a blessing my lady
So its 2020 n we r quaratined. N I’m spending my isolation trying to figure this out. Pray 4 me🙌🏾🙏🏾
Same
Same 😭
Same here!!
Khaniyah Mack same here and I wanna give up 😞
Elizabeth Joseph lol. Took a week break. I’m starting again when I get the rest of my hair supplies😂😂😂
Those who haven't understood let's gather here, back benchers where are you
im here 😂
I’m here
iccyyy same
Meee
aesrdtfyghj same tho
I've came to the realization that I just dont know how to hold the hair. It's like my fingers have a mind of their own, then the hair gets tangled and loose. At that point, I give up hope lol.
Yup. I’m still in the process of learning but it’s about controlling your fingers!!
The mirror can confuse you, don't look at the mirror when you braid just look at it when you need to grab more hair or to see how you doing
This shit is like advanced physics
It really is about hand positioning. Sometimes i start a good cornrow and my fingers "get confused" and it becomes lose and messy
shaina7491 omg same
I did it!!!! It’s not the cleanest or the prettiest, but hopefully I’ll get better.
And it even hurts too! 😃thanks a lot
You give me hope 😫
& it even hurts 😂😂😂, a sigh you're getting alllll those hairs in there lol good job
If it hurts youre not doing it right
@@dannica2469 if it hurts, it means the style is tight which a lot of people go for.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only black woman who doesn't know how to cornrow her own hair 🤦🏽♀. I have twin sisters who are younger than me and they both know how. They have been braiding my hair for years but its a pain in the butt begging one of them to do it 🙄 and they make me feel bad that I still don't know how to myself 🤷🏽♀ So don't give up ladies. After watching countless videos, I realize that its really about practice. I've actually cornrowed 1 braid all the way back and even though it was sloppy I'm not giving up. Practice makes perfect sista's!
Her: *parts hair*
Me:😮 she made it look so easy
Hahahaha ikr
Hey
😂 I have a parting tutorial th-cam.com/video/Tb-Z4ZCm24U/w-d-xo.html
Right!!
Aida [eye-dah] Fine Me omg your a life saver!!!
Sis out here saving lives without even knowing it
Amen
it's rare that i leave comments.. however, this video was extremely helpful. i've been trying to learn how to cornrow for years and i finally got it after watching this video countless times and practicing over and over... within about 5 hours i was able to understand and get comfortable with the movements. i appreciate that you broke it down step by step and taught good skills from the beginning because my 3 cornrows came out fairly neat and tight from the start. that sets this video apart from many others i've watched. i will definitely send my non braiding friends to see this video because it helped so much. for those still struggling.. i think it's helpful to walk into this with a positive mindset. pay attention to your errors and focus on working on that part before moving on. you can control your frustration by practicing deep breaths and taking breaks when you get overwhelmed. lastly, practice consistently and you will get it. if i can, then you absolutely can too. happy braiding
Wow. I am so happy that you were able to learn from this video! Thank you for such a detailed helpful comment that will no doubt give others hope! Happy braiding 💛
Me and my mind and my fingers talking
Me:mind u got it?
Mind:yasss, I got it
Me:fingers what's up
Fingers:We ain't cooperating with yo mind love
😭
Natural.musical Abi 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fr. 😂
😂
I'm crying 😭😭
She explained it the best. Still don’t quite get it yet but I’ll keep trying every day. Thank you🤗❤️
Samiya Richardson did you get it yet ?
Yeah I got it but it took a while tho😂😊
I ain't got the patience lmao
Okay so this is the BEST tutorial ever and I’m going to explain why..
The fact that you explained which perspective we should be perceiving the video from was it for me... I cannot tell you how many tutorial videos couldn’t do it for me because of that and I just thought I was stupid because no one in the comments seemed to have an issue the way I did.
Thank you!!!
So true! I just came from watching this other tutorial where the girl was saying she’s “using her right hand”, but it looked like the left. 😑 Like girl, don’t confuse me more than I already am, please.

I'm not black (I'm actually samoan) but I love watching videos like these! This type of hair texture is so beautiful!
I never learned how to cornrow cause it was always done for me. I regret that. Now I'm learning. It's all lumpy and ratched looking 😂😂😂 but I got the technique down. I'm getting there people. Still learning.
Rubaida Allen 🤣😂
@@iamraynella7614
Listen 😂😂😂
😩i cant braid my own hair but i can sure braid everyone else's hair
Same sis
Your WhatsApp number please
im the opposite
I can't do neither
Exactly
You have beautiful healthy hair🙋🏽
I just cornrowed my hair for the first time EVER thanks to your video!!!!! I never thought I would be able to do such a thing but your video really taught me how to do so 🤩 Non-braiding naturals hold out hope! It might’ve taken me 23 years but I finally learned how to cornrow lol
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!!!!
Yassss I can do side braid but not middle I don’t know how. …
I had given up trying to Cornrow my own hair but I wanted to crochet my own hair so bad so I watch your video and attempted one more time....... and I DID IT! I didnt do it the exact way you did but watching you definitely made me think it was easier than I was thinking. Sometimes it’s all in the mind. Thank you 🙏🏽
I literally had a whole breakdown because I don’t know how to grab the three strands
Thank you so much i did my own cornrows this morning and my mom gave me the whole bucket of ice cream
Aww 😄
i’m almost 23 years old n i’m getting embarrassed by how many hair tutorials i’ve had to watch in my life💀 but this is probably the best tutorial so far!!! i really appreciate showing a correct method regardless of skill level so that if i practice (and learn how to connect my hands to my brain) i can actually make my hair look decent❤️❤️❤️
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.
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
It's like that in Canada too..so much Jamaican patois is embedded into Canadian slang
jayariuh we didn’t ‘take’ their slang. That’s what happens when a place is colonized
We say that in Trinidad and Tobago too!
It’s a Caribbean thing.. not just Jamaica.. in Trinidad we say ‘Canerow’ also
I can braid someone else's hair.... but braiding my own hair has me feeling like I should never have been allowed to graduate middle school
🤣🤣🤣
I didn't learn how to do even the most basic braid until I had my first daughter at 28 years old. Nobody ever showed me and we didn't always have videos like this.
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!!!
I feel like such a fake black girl for not knowing how to cornrow my own hair. 😩🥴
u not alone sis ive never known how to even to a basic french braid i’m my hair😭why was i not blessed with braiding hands
same im worried im going to become too old one day 😭
no absolutley not i feel like most of us dont even know how to either
Sameee😭😭😭😭
Same girl 😭
I'm black and almost every fellow black girl around me can braid their own hair
I watched this on my fire stick but had to come on my phone to leave a comment. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’ve been trying to learn to cornrow for years but could never get it right. They were always loose and messy. Watching your video helped me get it right! My cornrows are neat and pretty thanks to you. This video is gold.
I just can't do it. My fingers are still tripping over my hair...
Don't feel bad it took me forever until I learned how to cornrow.
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!!!
At this moment I realized that i´m gonna treat myself and someone is going to do my hair for me
Ur Hair is full n healthy I love that Sis.😍
Thank youu 😊 💛
I LITERALLY LEARNED AFTER THE FIRST 5 MIN OF THE VIDEO IM SHOUTING THANK YOUUUUUUU‼️🤎✊🏾
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!!!

Nice mon homonyme aïda
You are literally the only person I’ve watched that teaches the parting technique. I’ve noticed there was something different about the parting and braiding but I couldn’t figure it out by myself. Thank you so much, I’m definitely gonna practice
"And make it look like your reflection... Is me!"
This is the most beautiful reflection I've ever seen 😭❤️😍
I've been watching this video so many times... Like since June and only today I got my first cornrow😭😭😭😭😭😭I struggled but watching this video over 100 times helped
Nobody:
Me with 3c hair: **tries to braid**
My hair: Miss me with that sh*t
Try stretching your hair first
this is literally the best tutorial on this ever, bless your soul
The camera flip, so that the viewer could mirror you, was such a helpful way to make this video more accessible to those of us that have problems with patterns. Also calling attention to which of your hands was the right and left was critical as well as showing which fingers were important and why.
I did it💃
To think I actually gave up after watching so many videos on here. I accidentally came across this video and decided to try it this last time and funny enough after watching the video just once I got it and I was done with my full head in less than an hour. Yahhhh💃💃💃😂😂
I have been trying to figure out how to do cornrow for decades and I finally found a video that has taught me how to do it thank you so much!!!!!!
I know how to cornrow but my problem is making it grip on the scalp and be straight it always comes undone after 5 minutes
Ropafadzo Manyowa you have to make your grip closer to your head, I had this problem before. Hope this helps :)
Omg I got it😭😭😭 unbelievable. Tips: let your fingers do their own thing don’t necessarily try to follow her lead step by step, I think they instinctually start feeling the rhythm. Don’t look at the mirror except for clarity cos it’ll confuse you. And good luck✨❤️
Middle finger grabs what index and thumb are holding. Exactly what I needed to understand! Thank you a thousand times.
Just what I was looking for! My hands naturally want to use the middle finger to grab hair they way you do. So glad I found your video to help improve my technique 🥰.
So first of all, thank you! This the BEST tutorial I have come across. I was sold once you flipped the perspective and did the mirror effect. It made it make sense and able to grasp the concept A LOT easier. It's going to take some practice but thank you for taking the time out to make this video.
Also your hair is beautiful!!!
I watched tons of TH-cam tutorials. I finally know how to do it because of you. Hand positioning is the key. If you can angle your hand like what she does it will go automatically. It took me almost 1 month. I almost go bald in the front because my hair are falling from practicing. 😂😂😂 thank you.
Thank you!! I think I finally understand!! Now actually doing and perfecting it is another story 😁
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 ❤️
Best Tutorial on how to do cornrows by far! Thank you 😘
The reason we have two different words for the same style is based on the food con-sealing in the hair style during slavery.
corn 🌽 🌾 was there largest export in America and sugarcane was the largest import from Jamaica. So we have Cornrow and Canerow
WOW I watched this and got it down immediately!!! The in-depth description of what each finger is always doing helped SO much!!
Sis I could kiss you! I haven’t got it 100% yet buttt the progress is real!
Few more tried and I should be there.
Anyone watching, a tip that helped me was to slow this video down a bit using the settings button. I also listened to what she said and closed my eyes and did a few (this is because there’s times I thought I was doing it right but then when I just listened to what she said, I clocked I wasn’t!)
Hope this helps 😌
I’ll be back to watch your other videos when I’ve conquered this one 😅
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.
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.
There are so many videos out there for cornrowing and this one is by far the best. This technique is the easiest, I've been so frustrated watching videos and I'm so happy I came across this one, especially because you flipped the camera. I'm actually doing it!!! Thank you so much!
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
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.
viviana hernandez facts
Yea true because whenever I look in the mirror I just get confused
I do better just feeling with my hands
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
After years of watching videos showing me how to cornrow, I was finally able to get it down after watching this! Thank you! One braid down, the rest of my hair to go XD
thank you so much, all of these 14 years I know how to cornrow
This is honestly the best tutorial ever. I'm 24 and I decided today is the day that I learn so that I can start doing sew-ins on my head and stop doing flat twists under my wigs. Thank you so much. I'll let you know how this works out!
THANK YOU! YOU JUST HELPED ME ACHIEVE ONE OF MY GOALS, I can now cainrow properly 🥺❤️
Looking forward to part 2 and 3, I really need them
That was THE MOST PERFECT part anyone has ever attempted 🙇🏽♂️
THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!! I can do a lot of things, but cornbraids have never been among my skillset! I could plat and French braid someone else’s hair, but never my own. I took my sew-in out so that I could wash my hair. I’ve relocated to a new area and the one lady I met who agreed to braid my hair for me so that I could put my sew-in back in blew me off. So, my last ditch effort to get my hair looking acceptable again was to find a tutorial on TH-cam. Thank God this video was close to the top!!! The last time I braided my own hair and did my sew-in it took me 12 hours over 2 days and my braids were unraveling- it was awful. After watching your video, I cornbraided my whole head (except for the leave out) in 3 hours. Ma’am, you’re a Godsend- I could kiss you! LoL You’re an awesome teacher and you’ve got a new subscriber!
This actually worked for me, now have my hair in cornrows! Little messy but I’m sure I’ll get better over time. Thank you!!!
Just tried to do this for an hour and couldn’t then I cried.
😂
I feel this
🫣 I have been a Hair factory for 10 years and I did not practice like that before ,It’s so much skills !! Everyday I just deal with hair customers and ship hair for them , you can’t believe in China 🇨🇳 we don’t have that skilled workers ! I would share your videos to my Hair customers and let them learn too ! ❤️
Girrrrrrl! I swear if I actually learn how to cornrow my own hair because of YOU 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I can’t wait to try! Thank you. 😊
When you finally make a perfect part without trying but it’s in the wrong place 😭
These people know what pain is lmao
He may
🧟♀️👣🗣👮👮♂️👳🏿♀️👳👎
Let’s go back
OH MY GOODNESS!!! i just cornrowed my entire head thanks to you and this video! you explained it so well for me to understand. Thank you so so much! this has been a goal of mine for years 😭🙌🏾
Omg your hair is sooo beautiful
I can do them but once get half way through the braid I quit bc my arms be tired😂
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are the 1st person I've watched (and trust me, I've watched A LOT) that I can actually understand and follow! God bless your soul!!!
This is the only video that got me to successfully braid my own hair ... thank you. From a leftie 🥲😂🥰
Glad I could help! 💛
Whayyyy it looks sooo easy but it's not easy 😭😭😭😭😭
Gracias! For the first time in 27 years I was able to conrow all my hair! Quarantine has forced me to learn so many things
Thank you so much! I finally did it! One of your other videos taught me that I couldn't cornrow with the same technique I learned to braid my hair. This video helped me get the concept of the technique. I'm so happy! Of course, I need to keep practicing, but... Crochet braids here I come!
thank you i literally did this first try ! the letting go then grabbing other side with middle finger made things so much easier !💗
I am so glad that I found your video because now I can do my own without my mom having to do it so tight lol 😂
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!!!
Thank God I found you. Been yearning to learn how to braid. Got the right channel. Thank you siz.
Thanks to you, I did my first successful cornrow. This is hands down the best video I’ve seen for beginners :):)
Definitely needed this for quarantine :,)
This video helped me learn how to braid closer to my scalp 😭😭😭
it's really just like drawing, the more you practice, the better it'll look! watched this video weeks ago and practiced a lot since and i can finally cornrow !
I haven’t learned how to braid, but your voice is relaxing so thank you. Lol.
No I give up🙁. My arms r tired😂
I know. My arms get tired too. 😭
Sad
I've been trying to learn how to braid my own hair for ages. I think you have some good tips in here and I'll definitely try it. Thank you very much Aida
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
Girlll i love u this helped me to finally understand the "secret" of cornrows! It finally clicked in my brain lol❤ new sub
best video on braiding hands down
thank you :)
