I can't do it! I'm dying to learn how! Can someone teach me?
Well, do you know how to french braid or corn row period, like on others? That's the first step.
When I was between 8-10 I just figured out french braiding on my own by thinking about how it had to be done. It's like a plait, but you just make it stick to your head by gathering pieces of hair as you go down. To center it you start in the middle of wherever you want the braid and grab a chunk of hair, section it in 3 pieces, cross each once to start the braid, then each time you cross after that, pull a piece of hair from the sides. You start in the middle so there is hair on the sides to pull. At first you may be sloppy, but it's not too difficult. After a while once you get the hang of pulling hair from the sides to be even and neat when it enters the braid, you can get it to be really pretty, do patterns, etc.
I practiced on my own head often because I couldn't practice on anyone else, and that's how I mastered it.
When my hair was an inch or two longer, I used to make a kind of side french braid that went diagonally across my head.
Corn rowing is like an inverted french braid. Some people think they are easier than french braids, but I strongly disagree.
I think part of it is that whichever you learn first is easiest. You start a cornrow off with 3 tiny pieces instead of 3 chunks, the way I cornrow is that I still keep plaiting in mind, but instead of reaching my hand above the braid to pull a new piece in when I cross, I hook my index figer, grab a piece from the side opposite the one I'm crossing to, and hold onto it as I go down the braid, keeping my finger hooked. I know that sounds mad confusing, but I'm sure there are toutube tutorials.
The result/difference is that a corn row has the braided part on the outside, and a french braid hides it underneath.
