Attention Cornrowers!

[infojunkie]

I'm compiling information on cornrowing as that is my next project (the yarn braids have been a real winner!) but I'm missing a slight bit of information.

If anyone has any idea on how to cornrow from the nape of the neck UP into the center of the head I'd appreciate some enlightenment. For the life of me I can't see how that's accomplished on your own head.

Any links to YouTube vids, Fotkis, or simple written instruction would be greatly apprecitated. Mook, if you're reading I'd especially love to hear from you on this one.

Thanks in advance ladies for all your help.

I would have to ask my mom when she comes home. She cornrow my hair.

Here's a vid that may help.... she's braiding up, by braiding backwards.

This may sound weird, but I think it's all in how you position your arms, head and body (at least it is for me). So you may have to bend your head down or bend over some to position yourself for the direction of the braid. When you get to the sides you'll have to turn your head some. I hope this helps.

Thanks Laela and DivaDiva. The first few times I tried to braid from front to back I ended up rested my hands on my thighs anyway so this is right up my alley (until my arms get stronger anyway).

Thanks again, ladies.
