Yay! I can Cornrow NOW!: Learned from a website

[TrustMeLove]

Ok. Ever since I was 10 I've tried my hardest to learn how to cornrow. Ok..well I gave up pretty quickly..say 20 minutes. 13 years later I have learned that talent which has fleeted me all these years. lol.

I've been natural for the past 2.5 years and I just figured I wouldn't learn how to cornrow. Within in the last few months I just learned how to flat twist. I think this was a really important step in learning to feel my way through adding hair by feel and not sight.

I came across this website http://cornrows.co.uk/howto/howtobraidcornrowsx.html
a few months ago and bookmarked it, but paid it no attention.

Well, it's a friday night and I'm in the house. I figured I should use this ME time wisely. I pulled up the webpage and within 5 minutes MAX I was cornrowing.

The world seems so much brighter. lol I now can cornrow and now I have the base to do a weave if I so desire. This is soooo cool.

Hope this website helps someone else.

Congratz TML girl I know how you feel, I just recently learned a month or so ago and I was doing the happy dance too. Thinking about purchasing a doll head to get more practice in.

Oh, that looks like a good website!! Thank you, and congrats!!

 

[tiffers]

Congratulations! I'm so jealous!

I'm hopeless when it comes to cornrowing. I've had two people veeery slowly show me step by step how to cornrow. I've looked at step by step tutorial pics online. I even bought a Braids By Breslin instructional dvd. All to no avail erplexed

I'm about to check out that site, hopefully I'll be cornrowing within a few minutes like you! (probably not )

ETA- Wow, that's a good website!!! I think this may actually be the ''cornrowing for dummies'' instructional that I needed! I'm really tired right now, so I'll look at it again tomorrow and try it on my dd to see if it helps! *crossing fingers* :crossfingers:

, TrustMeLove!

I'm gonna have to check that site out b/c I need the help.

 

[Ebony Majesty]

congratulations lol

 

[TrustMeLove]

Thanks Y'all!

I'm so excited. I'm now searching for a tutorial on cornrow extensions. lol. I haven't even done a style w/ cornrows but I want to know how to add hair. Like I'm advice or something..just learned to cornrow a few hours ago.

Oh and the cornrow is snug to the scalp. No loosey goosey here. And I wasn't pulling hard at all. I thought the braid was going to look soooo wack, but it turned out really nicely.

Well, I have to figure out a style that will incorporate my new cornrowing skills. I want to wear that style today.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I'd like to learn myself. Great job!

Righteous!!!

 

[Serenity_Peace]

I am SOOOOOOO jelly!!!!

I've always wanted to learn how to braid and especially flat twist.

If you find a flat twist video, share it here. That's a fantastic protective style.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

We want pics!!!

 

[mnemosyne]

Oh wow, I'll have to look at this. The last time I tried the one I did snaked around my head and got fluffy towards the back.

 

[Napp]

Thanks. i know how to conrrow but i cant do it on my head because it was very difficult to part. i may try it soon!

 

[Traycee]

Ugh....I still can't get....Maybe there is no hope for me....

 

[lovedone_24]

I got to get up on this! Thank you! I have been wanting to know this since forever. The girls around the way always had an extra $10-20 from braiding, but sadly I never learned.

 

[LovelyLionessa]

That's cool. I have to check this out, this would be nice for summer styles too. Thanks!

 

[Anancy]

Wow that's an excellent site, the instructions are great. I'll have to give it a go tomorrow.

Woo hoo this is exciting. Congrats girl, its a great achievement.

 

[mistifying]

Thank you for this! I will give it a shot after I take down these micros.

 

[Peacan Tan]

If you don't really know how to do them you might try to do it before you take out the micros. I learned how to do it years ago before extentions when all you got were box braids.

 

[drasgrl]

Maybe I should bookmark it. I can't cornrow either and I practice. Mine always comes out reversed like underhand.

 

[cmw45]

Yea! I'm going to try tonight!

 

[hopeful]

Thanks for this, I just printed out the instructions and will try on my dd's hair tonight. If you find a good one on how to do with extensions too please share. Thanks.

 

[Chromia]

Thanks so much! I just followed those instructions and did a cornrow in the back of my head!

 

[danigurl18]

This is cool... Im going to try this out too!!

 

[Puddles]

Congrats!!!!!
I so want to learn. I'm gonna check out that site.

****Mook where are you? I need some expert advice****
Or anyone else that is an avid braider...
Do you all really start with the middle (guide) braid as suggested?
