Usher has me here confessing....i gotta confess...

[jainygirl]

I do not know how to Cornrow or French braid

or anything like that

I feel so bad, i have so many styles i want to try out and i cant do them because all i know how to do is plait. I want to try a hairstyle with my hair cornrowed back (parted with the cornrows going at a diagonal) and with them stopping after being braided about 3 inches back. Then put little black bands on them to keep them in place and leave the rest of my hair loose so i can do drop curls in the back on the rest of my hair. but i can't do this because i cant cornrow and i'm scared of letting anyone else do my hair

anyway that's my confession. I cant believe i never learned how to cornrow. Anyone have any advice for a beginner? Thanks so much

I don't know how to cornrow or french braid either- Could you imagine my dilemna when I was natural. I was always looking for a friend to french braid my hair. I've given up. I just pray that God blesses me with 3 boys. I don't know what I'll do with a girl.

I can't cornrow or do flat twist.

 

[jainygirl]

I know what you mean. yeah i have a son, the funny thing is his hair grows like weeds and ppl always badger me not to cut it so he runs around with a mini fro thing happening most of the time

your hair looks great-- so many different styles

you're proof that being natural isnt all about the braiding

I can't do anything but plait either... I have a daughter, and I'm useless.

 

[ChocoKitty]

I can't braid either!

I hate cornrowing. I can't part straight work nothing, man.

I can do french braids, but I can't cornrow... Well, I guess I COULD, but I just need to practice... the only difference between the two is that the hair strands go a different way (under instead of over)...

I used to have to ask my friend in college to do my french braids, and one day I just got sick of that and started trying to do them myself. It's pretty easy; you just have to practice!!

 

[Vanessa22]

I can't either. We should start some sort of class on learning how to do this...

Wow Jainy, immo give you some lessons at the next hair meeting.

But really I didn't always know how to cornrow, I just started praticing on peeps and the more I praticed the better at it I got. I am not the best but I have put some cute styles in my daughter's hair!

I taught myself how to French Braid but I'm still working on the cornrowing. It feels so awkward but I keep practicing.
