Something to practice while self isolating! Sending love to you all💕🤗 - Update: The amount of people leaving comments/sending me photos on IG that have learned how to cornrow with this video has truly blown me away! I've been ready to cry at all the people finally able to cornrow their daughter and sons hair. I'm so proud and thankful y'all are taking time to learn; this means a lot to me! Nothing, but love 💕
I've been trying to learn this for years. This is my first time watching a video made by you which came up on my timeline. I only viewed four minutes of your explanation before trying and I now have the knowledge and experience of completing a "good, clearly observerable" corn roll several times over. Thank you for making this video!!!
Moscow Moscow I feel ya! I’m fully black but I’ve had relaxers & texturized in my hair bc no one attempted to try my natural hair. So for the last 2 years, YT has rlly been my bestie 😭🤣
This was the best most straight forward tutorial perfect for me ! I literally skipped to 3:18 & got it down while doing it with her. 23 years of my life & this is my first time successful doing cornrows on myself . I damn near cried. I’m now not totally useless!
You were never totally useless to begin with. Flat twists can be easier, so they're always a good idea for those who can't cornrow! They still look good and nobody knows the difference. 😂😂😂
Im almost crying, too! She really broke it down to a way I've never heard before. It's very unsettling to be at the mercy of others just to get your hair done sometimes. I happen to be white and have headaches when my hair is not tight. Many braiders near me prefer not to do white hair, so I usually have to. This is going to be a BIG help to me, and I am very happy for you also. I can't believe how emotional I got over this. It is remarkable how she taught this, and I've been braiding all my life. It's just harder on yourself. Congratulations 🎉
I literally tried on my daughter’s hair (I usually did twists) and got it the first try watching this video!!!! Thank you so much, I was smiling the rest of the braiding!!!
Seeing These Comments Of Other Black Women Saying They Didn’t Know How To Cornrow Makes Me Feel Better About Being A Black Women Who Doesn’t Know How To Cornrow 🥰 Thank You For Teaching Us !
how comes it's easy for me to watch but when it comes to make it,it's difficult 4 me Oooh am even crying 😭😭 I wish I can make it like this girl in the video
Let me tell you something... I'm 25 yrs old and could never cornrow anyone's hair, let alone my own. I have hairstylists in my family that have tried teaching me and nothing! I've watched countless RUclips videos trying to learn and I just couldn't get it, so I gave up. Just thought that it wasn't meant for me to learn. Then your video popped up on my feed the other night so I watched it and saved it. The next day I washed my 5year old daughter's hair, played your video, and followed along. And I DID IT!!! I actually managed to get four cornrows on her head. I nearly cried because I could only do boxbraids before and now the possibilities are just endless. To be honest, not being to cornrow made me feel like less of woman 😔 but the way you explained and demonstrated it was so clear. Girl!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, sending you a big ol' hug!!! Bless!!🙏🏽♥️♥️
As a white mum to 6 mixed daughters (and 2 sons) I taught myself to cain row once my eldest was about 3 (shes 16 now) but in all this time I have never been able to do my own hair....until now. Seriously on my first attempt I got a perfect cainrow and I am literally soooo happy. Thank you so so much. And 4 days before my birthday too. Sending you love, peace and light xxxxx
Honestly y’all the key is really being ok with trying over and over lol. I have 4c hair and I just started being able to cornrow my hair from watching this video. The braids are not neat but they are not bad when I did them. Practice makes perfect.

@@miajoelle Shiddddddd all 3 of us then because I can't either. 😂😂😂 It's ok. Most people don't know the difference between twists, individuals and dreads, so they won't know the difference between cornrows and flat twists either. 💀
Hi, I’m a black 14 year old and my grandmother has been doing my hair till I was 8 and my mom has done it since I was born till 5, I have been doing my own hair since I was 10, it’s really big and kinda of long to the middle of my back I’ve progressed a lot and have been practicing braids for months but still can’t get the hang of it till now, thank you❤️
you got this! theres plenty of us out there who have had our moms or salons do our hair into our adult years, and continuing! its not easy when nobody really teaches you

GOD BLESS YOU SIS, and thanks for actually teaching us how to do it instead of simply saying WaTCh mY FiNGeRs
Thank you, thank you , thank you. Im 15 and I've been trying to learn how to conrow my one hair for about 3 days now and no video has helped me as much as this one. This video is so detailed and just makes so much more sense than a lot of the videos that I have been watching, I feel like this is truly for beginners. I literally started balling out crying because I was having such a hard time figuring out how to get comfortable doing a cornrow, although i'm not the best YET I'm getting there and I have to thank you for that. Any one out there felling like you cant do it, believe in yourself , slow down, breathe and just try. You might not get it the first time and that's okay but at least you're getting closer to achieve your goal and when you do you'll be so proud of yourself. 💖💖
My problem is that I can’t grab equal/consistent sections of hair once I get started and I end up accidentally pulling hair from my other sections, even if I tie it off 😩
Listen... I RARELY comment and I know this was posted 2 years ago, but it took me 4 videos and 25-30 wasted minutes to get to this video. Not only are your steps super clear but you also have the camera at an angle that makes sense! Sheesh!! THANK YOU! My baby's corn rows aren't the cleanest but they're not coming apart either! Imma keep practicing.😁
Wow! I've been trying to plait my own hair for 30odd years, resembling something that looks like a cornrow.. helplessly. Then, along you came with this short videos and change my life! I am practicing every day like you said and it gets better and better. Thank you, are so beautiful for sharing 💖
This is so easy to understand, I get the technique of it but it just when it comes to grabbing hair my brain is scattered and all of a sudden my fingers dont work.
Check where your hands are. If they are at your side try placing them towards your back and depending on which hand is your dominate hand that's the hand you use to grab and tuck... if that makes sense.
Thank you so much for this!!! White girl trying to learn how to braid my black sister's hair, here, and I wanted to practice on my own first so hers actually look nice 😂 All the other tutorials were for working on someone else's head, though, so this was SO helpful. Thank you! 💕💕
This was SO GOOD! Honestly the best and simplest instructions for cornrowing…especially on your own head!! I will be practicing more because there are so many styles I want to do on my own self! Also very comforting the amount of ‘us’ here in the comments that didn’t know how to cornrow. I really thought I was one of a VERY few!
Wow, I am 55 years old and was never taught how to cornrow. People assume because being Black, you MUST know. My daughter is now 19 and I always did her in twists or regular braids. Thank you for taking your time and showing what to do if you make mistakes. Much appreciation!! Stay blessed and beautiful young lady!!
I'm a 74 y o. Caucasian and I'm just now trying to learn to braid my own hair! What was so helpful to me was how she emphasized how to go beneath that middle strand. I'm going to try. Wish me luck.😉
@@lenoremarisol8938 Well, praise the Lord! I'm glad. I had a stroke in 1996 & my hair is longer now, because it's actually easier to deal with when I can put it up. I hadn't been able to braid my hair at all, even just plain old braids. My right hand was affected by the stroke. My whole right side, really. Those videos encouraged me to try again. I have nothing but love & appreciation for others.
@@candygardner4440 wow thats so admirable, im so happy your still okay, even after your stroke, ur a strong women!! Do braids all you want, now i only see it as cultural appriciation, thank you for finding beauty in braids!
Im almost 60 years old, and I've been braiding my own hair since 5th grade. I've always had a feeling there was an easier, more efficient way to do it because I taught myself to French braid when my friend told me just to braid regular, but add hair as you go. After watching and listening to you, it was incredibly clear to me that the goal is to always reach for the outside hair. I know it may sound simple, but this is a complete game changer for me. I am dyslexic and have only been able to braid while pacing the floor to distract myself from thinking too much. With this little tip, you shared, and the way you explained it will prove to give HUGE results for me. You truly are Dope af. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Thank you beauty!!! 🎉😂
You explained this so well other people will be like “just look at my fingers” and don’t explain you explained to the point that my impatient tail kept trying 😭 I will eventually get it but my cousin who is a licensed hair stylist told me “practice makes better” cause no, nothing is perfect
I have been trying to learn how to cornrow for a year now by watching RUclips videos but never understood. Today I tried again and I managed to do my first cornrow by only watching your tutorial ONCE. Thank you!!!
Honestly, I have never commented on youtube videos because I never felt like it was necessary but this video right here is a grade A quality tutorial. I have watched numerous videos on how to cornrow and this is the best and the only video that has worked for me. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Honestly, out of all the videos on the internet that I’ve watched, this is by far the best video explaining it. Thank you so much, I can finally cornrow 😭❤️❤️
Omg the amount of videos I went through about 6 months ago that were like 13 minutes+ and taught me nothing. I’m back after 6 months and decided to learn again, THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SM! It’s like the first few seconds she started braiding, I was braiding my hair down and next thing ik I done did a cornrow on myself. (It’s my very first time) THANK U!
girlll thank you so much, i’ve been wanting to learn to cornrow since high school and could never get it down. I feel like i just unlocked a superpower!!😭😭 Your tutorial was SO clear and easy to follow, thank you again, I thought I’d never be able to get this skill😩
Not all superheroes wear capes! 🥺 I watched your video for the first time, saw how clear and detailed your instructions were and decided to try it out since so many other tutorial videos I had watched over the years had failed in explaining it... I CAN NOW CANE ROW MY HAIR. As a young black woman I was so embarrassed that I couldn't do it, now I can! Sending you much thanks and appreciation from the UK, you've earned a subscriber! 😊
Sis, l have been struggling for YEARS with cornrowing my own hair. Watched your video and guess what??? I did my 1st cornrow and it looks GREAT!!!! Thank you sis! You go, girl!!
Biiiiisshhhhh!!!! OMG. ive been trying to cornrow my hair since I was a child! I am in tears! Im 27 now, black woman, and screaming right now thank you soo much!!
I don't know how many videos i've watched on socials on learning how to cornrow from my childhood, and today after so long i l can proudly say i learned and KNOW how to cornrow my hair in just a minute through this simple and straight to the point video/tutorial. I know you posted this 2years ago but trust me i'm so glad i stumbled upon it so thank you so so much for helping all the sisters out, me included of course.🥺🥺❤
I real life opened up my RUclips app to search “how to cornrow your hair” and I looked in my subscription section and saw this video😭😍 I love this, it was so helpful sis!
My apologies in advance if this is too much ~ I’m no creep, no nut job, not a freak, not a stalker, and MOST certainly; NOT A TROLL. What I 'Am', is a Woman of God who sees beauty (timeless beauty non the less) all throughout this Gorgeous Earth. . . Here, as I read I come across this almost unbelievable comment, to which is yours Thompson. 51, if I wasn’t a believer in Jesus Christ and God our Father; I would be commenting to say you’re full of pookie, no lie!!! I pray to the Good Lord above for Him to bless me with a IMPECCABLE beauty such as your own (in my own way of course). Not trying to look just like you, I just want to "look just like you." Ya know what I’m saying!? You’re effortlessly ageless Darling. I had to say a little somethin’ somethin’, just encase you were not made aware, or haven’t been made aware!! Once again, I’m not creeping, I’m not peeping, I’m not trolling and I’m not judging. I’m full heartedly admiring and complimenting you, Ms. Thompson. 🌸🙏🏽 Take care. God Bless!
Wowww, I know this is an old video but I'm sooo glad I've found it... this was explained sooo clearly and easily that I was able to get a decent braid on my first try without even looking in the mirror! I've watch so many videos and I've never been able to figure this out... Until now! If you see this, 4 years later lol, THANK YOU!🎉🎉🎉
Yes gurl it was so frustrating to learn to cornrow my own hair but your video made it so so easy to accomplish. You are very detailed and straightforward and I’ve seen so many other tutorials on cornrow but still couldn’t get it. I can cornrow other people’s hair with no problem and I thought I couldn’t do my own because I’m left handed but realized I just had to position my fingers correctly. Thank you so much!
I watched this vid cause I am about to cornrow my faded daffodils. I used to have locks and learned then, but lost the memory. I finished the piece and said “DOPE exclamation! Particularly when you showed us the, “I forgot this” joint. It helped me to see this is a jam with notes, patterns and measures. Then I check your name and DOPE is the first syllable. Of course. You are a fabulous teacher my Sistah! GO!
Thank you I just cornrow three sections of my hair just watching your video. I'm 51yrs old this is my first time accomplishing this task. They're not the best but it's default good start. God bless you!
Sis, your video is one of 2 that helped me learn! I look like Madea Goes to Jail but ion even care. I can finally do it! 🙌🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Got a little piece of my black card back.
My gratitude for you is out of this world. I’ve been wanting to learn how to cornrow since I was young because I was never able to. My mother was too busy to teach me. I decided to go on RUclips (I recently got a mannequin head so I could practice doing hair) and I’ve been trying to do cornrow but kept failing repeatedly. I looked at many tutorials but they wouldn’t help me and it only led me to be more frustrated. It’s because of this video I finally grasped the concept of cornrow. Thank you sooo very much, you’ve made my childhood wish come true😊
I was looking for you to thank you!!, I watched your video almost two weeks ago and surprisingly I can braid my own hair.... I've been trying for years about 4years now and thanks to you I'm making neat Knotless braids now. I'm really proud of myself 😊❤ God bless you for this tutorial!
I’ve watched soooo many videos. This one is the first one that actually made sense. If you are an over thinker this video will help you get it! Thank you!!
I'm from London, in my late 30's and have never been able to maintain my natural hair so have never bothered. I have seen so many videos on how to cornrow but still never quite grasped what to do and so this is the first time I have made a youtube comment. My cornrow wasn't perfect but I know it will get better with practice. Thank you so much for a great, simple and easy to follow video
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched so many videos on cornrowing but yours is the most thorough about finger placement and overall technique. I've got a lot to relearn about how I braid in general to be able to use your technique, but I feel it's worth it to learn how to cornrow.
I’ve watched my fair share of how to cornrow your hair videos, but this is by far the best video yet!! I was finally able to do it!! Thank you so much and yass stay poppin my African sista!! 🇳🇬💁🏾♀️ #weouthere
I feel so slow watching this. I feel like I’m in math class. I stare at her hand movements and think I got it but I always mess up. I’m too old to not know how to do my own hair.
Just tried and it didn't come out as neat but I DID IT! Always have to come back here no matter how much other videos I've watched. Thank you Dope! Now to practice to perfection. And I will be moving on to doing box braids next.....
I have been trying to cornrow my hair for years, like literally a decade, and couldn’t do it. Watched your video twice and was able to get it done. Thank you so much. I don’t have people around me to teach these techniques and this will change how I do my hair for years to come.
Thank you so much my husband has been wanting me to cornrow his hair for years now and your the first one to explain it where I can understand... totally gonna be watching more of your videos!!!
I've watched a lot of con row videos but this is so my best so far, I understood it so quickly and I'm going to practice as soon as I loose my hair. And would give a feedback. Thanks❤
Thank you so much for this, I'm a white mama w a mixed little boy. Dad's always had long hair, styled himself but seemed to forgot a lot since getting dreads. However after watching your videos, trial and error I did it! Means a lot to be able to do my children's hair. ❤️
After trying to cornrow for so long, I finally got it after watching you. Thank you for making a very easy to follow tutorial and actually showing your hands on your head. Great work 🏆
It took a year, but I found it: The best video tutorial on self-cornrows. I've watched plenty and although they were clearly explained, something about your video made everything click! Thank you for sharing!
I’m coming back to show this video some love because I was able to roughly put my hair in two cornrows or French braids after watching dozens of how to braid videos. I started practicing during quarantine and by the end of the year my hair wasn’t as badly damaged and I was able to retain a little length. I kept coming back to this video and eventually it clicked. My braids aren’t the best looking but now I’m confident enough to wear them out. 💜
I’m 24 years old and am tired of not knowing what to do for my hair when the twist out gets old! This is the clearest explanation for cornrows I’ve seen so far! Thank you ❤
OMG! I have been braiding hair for years. Mostly using the French braid technique. This video helped so much, i think I can do it now, myself and also sometime. I'm going to try real soon, current I'm rocking the twists. This was the simplest approach
Thank you so much for this. I’d given up on cornrows until I saw this video & immediately it made sense. I tried and I’m now rocking my first set of cornrows by me in the 31 years of my life 😂💚
Since iwas 18yrs old iways wanted to learn cornrow my hair icant believe I just learned it in two days through your vedio at age of 36 thank you so much now Ican do my kids hair and save the money I would have used on salon . your vedio is simple and easy to understand compared to others am very grateful
Today years old (24) and you just taught me how to cornrow my hair in like 5 minutes 😭😭. Thank you soooo much, love you for this gorgeous girl! I hope you forever get what your heart desires!!
THANK YOU!!! Your instructions were extremely helpful! I was able to do my son’s hair. It doesn’t look perfect but it definitely looks 100% better than before ! 👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️ thank you

My problem is that I can’t grab equal/consistent sections of hair once I get started and I end up accidentally pulling hair from my other sections, even if I tie it off 😩
SAME!
ME TOOO
Same here😔
yasssss
I felt this
@@gannamason9232 you can always use a band to hold the rest of the hair
Listen... I RARELY comment and I know this was posted 2 years ago, but it took me 4 videos and 25-30 wasted minutes to get to this video. Not only are your steps super clear but you also have the camera at an angle that makes sense! Sheesh!! THANK YOU! My baby's corn rows aren't the cleanest but they're not coming apart either! Imma keep practicing.😁
Wow! I've been trying to plait my own hair for 30odd years, resembling something that looks like a cornrow.. helplessly. Then, along you came with this short videos and change my life! I am practicing every day like you said and it gets better and better. Thank you, are so beautiful for sharing 💖
this helped a lot but i still can’t do it 😭😭😭
update: i got it!! thank u
yaaaay
Awesome 👏🏾
Excellent!
U got ittt❤️
Can't overlook the fact that her hair is so beautiful😍

This is so easy to understand, I get the technique of it but it just when it comes to grabbing hair my brain is scattered and all of a sudden my fingers dont work.
Right my mind says I can my fingers say I can't 🤣
So true ! 😩😔
Yea lol
right and it also gets super tangled and my hands get tired
Check where your hands are. If they are at your side try placing them towards your back and depending on which hand is your dominate hand that's the hand you use to grab and tuck... if that makes sense.
I’ve been trying for YEARS and have tried so many tutorials and yours is the ONLY one who taught me how to cornrow. I’m so pumped!!
Thank you so much for this!!! White girl trying to learn how to braid my black sister's hair, here, and I wanted to practice on my own first so hers actually look nice 😂 All the other tutorials were for working on someone else's head, though, so this was SO helpful. Thank you! 💕💕
🎊🎉🎊💋
After 25 years this video has taught me how to braid ☺️
😱🙆🏿
yessss 😭😭😭
Amen 🙏🏽
My last three brain cells trying to think this pattern through in my head
😂😂
and your profile picture makes it a lot better!
@@aniyahc.9414 😂😂😂 woah!! Nice eyes,spot on
This is actually saving lives🙌🏾🙌🏾
Girl, and COINS!
Hey Ayan, you Somali?

This is by far the best instructional video for cornrows by far.
This was SO GOOD! Honestly the best and simplest instructions for cornrowing…especially on your own head!! I will be practicing more because there are so many styles I want to do on my own self! Also very comforting the amount of ‘us’ here in the comments that didn’t know how to cornrow. I really thought I was one of a VERY few!
Wow, I am 55 years old and was never taught how to cornrow. People assume because being Black, you MUST know. My daughter is now 19 and I always did her in twists or regular braids. Thank you for taking your time and showing what to do if you make mistakes. Much appreciation!! Stay blessed and beautiful young lady!!
I'm a 74 y o. Caucasian and I'm just now trying to learn to braid my own hair! What was so helpful to me was how she emphasized how to go beneath that middle strand. I'm going to try. Wish me luck.😉
@@candygardner4440 ive changed my thought process and I appreciate you getting braids and appreciating my culture :))
@@lenoremarisol8938 Well, praise the Lord! I'm glad. I had a stroke in 1996 & my hair is longer now, because it's actually easier to deal with when I can put it up. I hadn't been able to braid my hair at all, even just plain old braids. My right hand was affected by the stroke. My whole right side, really. Those videos encouraged me to try again. I have nothing but love & appreciation for others.
@@candygardner4440 wow thats so admirable, im so happy your still okay, even after your stroke, ur a strong women!! Do braids all you want, now i only see it as cultural appriciation, thank you for finding beauty in braids!
This is literally the BEST tutorial I have seen in all my 22 years of living!
girl did you just teach me how to braid after i haven't been able to learn on this platform for a decade....I--
Swearrrr 😭😭 literally speechless
Saaaaame
Same
Im almost 60 years old, and I've been braiding my own hair since 5th grade. I've always had a feeling there was an easier, more efficient way to do it because I taught myself to French braid when my friend told me just to braid regular, but add hair as you go. After watching and listening to you, it was incredibly clear to me that the goal is to always reach for the outside hair. I know it may sound simple, but this is a complete game changer for me. I am dyslexic and have only been able to braid while pacing the floor to distract myself from thinking too much. With this little tip, you shared, and the way you explained it will prove to give HUGE results for me. You truly are Dope af. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Thank you beauty!!! 🎉😂
You explained this so well other people will be like “just look at my fingers” and don’t explain you explained to the point that my impatient tail kept trying 😭 I will eventually get it but my cousin who is a licensed hair stylist told me “practice makes better” cause no, nothing is perfect
I’m so glad you made this video. It’s in my to do list whilst I’m self isolating. Stay safe everyone 🙏🏾❤️
KerenLalayProduction right here with ya! Hope this helps🤗
Me too sis!

I have been trying to learn how to cornrow for a year now by watching RUclips videos but never understood. Today I tried again and I managed to do my first cornrow by only watching your tutorial ONCE. Thank you!!!
Honestly, I have never commented on youtube videos because I never felt like it was necessary but this video right here is a grade A quality tutorial. I have watched numerous videos on how to cornrow and this is the best and the only video that has worked for me. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Thankyou. I've been feeling so dependant lately and although learning this seems small it actually means so much to me. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Honestly, out of all the videos on the internet that I’ve watched, this is by far the best video explaining it. Thank you so much, I can finally cornrow 😭❤️❤️
I’m 30 years old and I have been trying to find a decent instructional video and you’ve done it! I’m emotional, think imma cry, thank you for this
I was JUST about to look up videos on how to cornrow my own hair & wow timing is perfect.
Akira B. yesss🙏🏾
Omg the amount of videos I went through about 6 months ago that were like 13 minutes+ and taught me nothing. I’m back after 6 months and decided to learn again, THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SM! It’s like the first few seconds she started braiding, I was braiding my hair down and next thing ik I done did a cornrow on myself. (It’s my very first time) THANK U!
girlll thank you so much, i’ve been wanting to learn to cornrow since high school and could never get it down. I feel like i just unlocked a superpower!!😭😭 Your tutorial was SO clear and easy to follow, thank you again, I thought I’d never be able to get this skill😩
Wow... I'm 41 and this is the first time I've been able to corn row my hair and it actually looks nice! Thank you!
Not all superheroes wear capes! 🥺 I watched your video for the first time, saw how clear and detailed your instructions were and decided to try it out since so many other tutorial videos I had watched over the years had failed in explaining it... I CAN NOW CANE ROW MY HAIR. As a young black woman I was so embarrassed that I couldn't do it, now I can! Sending you much thanks and appreciation from the UK, you've earned a subscriber! 😊
Sis, l have been struggling for YEARS with cornrowing my own hair. Watched your video and guess what??? I did my 1st cornrow and it looks GREAT!!!! Thank you sis! You go, girl!!

I don't know how many videos i've watched on socials on learning how to cornrow from my childhood, and today after so long i l can proudly say i learned and KNOW how to cornrow my hair in just a minute through this simple and straight to the point video/tutorial. I know you posted this 2years ago but trust me i'm so glad i stumbled upon it so thank you so so much for helping all the sisters out, me included of course.🥺🥺❤
I real life opened up my RUclips app to search “how to cornrow your hair” and I looked in my subscription section and saw this video😭😍 I love this, it was so helpful sis!
This woman is beautiful and excellent at teaching. The energy, the vibe here is very encouraging and emoowering.
She dope as hell too. 👌🏾
Yes i thought the same thing!
@@haveaniceday1692 me too.
Yes!! She's a great communicator!
Because of this video I can finally cornrow my own hair.Feel so proud of myself.
Thank you girl!!
At the age of 51 I finally know how to cornrow from this video 🎉 Thank you for making it so easy to follow and achieve (I subscribed too😘)
My apologies in advance if this is too much ~
I’m no creep, no nut job, not a freak, not a stalker, and MOST certainly; NOT A TROLL.
What I 'Am', is a Woman of God who sees beauty (timeless beauty non the less) all throughout this Gorgeous Earth. . . Here, as I read I come across this almost unbelievable comment, to which is yours Thompson. 51, if I wasn’t a believer in Jesus Christ and God our Father; I would be commenting to say you’re full of pookie, no lie!!! I pray to the Good Lord above for Him to bless me with a IMPECCABLE beauty such as your own (in my own way of course). Not trying to look just like you, I just want to "look just like you." Ya know what I’m saying!? You’re effortlessly ageless Darling.
I had to say a little somethin’ somethin’, just encase you were not made aware, or haven’t been made aware!!
Once again, I’m not creeping, I’m not peeping, I’m not trolling and I’m not judging. I’m full heartedly admiring and complimenting you, Ms. Thompson. 🌸🙏🏽
Take care. God Bless!
Wowww, I know this is an old video but I'm sooo glad I've found it... this was explained sooo clearly and easily that I was able to get a decent braid on my first try without even looking in the mirror! I've watch so many videos and I've never been able to figure this out... Until now! If you see this, 4 years later lol, THANK YOU!🎉🎉🎉
I cried so many times while attempting this. Any type of braid attached to the scalp is so difficult and stressful for me.
Yes gurl it was so frustrating to learn to cornrow my own hair but your video made it so so easy to accomplish. You are very detailed and straightforward and I’ve seen so many other tutorials on cornrow but still couldn’t get it. I can cornrow other people’s hair with no problem and I thought I couldn’t do my own because I’m left handed but realized I just had to position my fingers correctly. Thank you so much!
I watched this vid cause I am about to cornrow my faded daffodils. I used to have locks and learned then, but lost the memory. I finished the piece and said “DOPE exclamation! Particularly when you showed us the, “I forgot this” joint. It helped me to see this is a jam with notes, patterns and measures. Then I check your name and DOPE is the first syllable. Of course. You are a fabulous teacher my Sistah! GO!
Thank you I just cornrow three sections of my hair just watching your video. I'm 51yrs old this is my first time accomplishing this task. They're not the best but it's default good start. God bless you!
Sis, your video is one of 2 that helped me learn! I look like Madea Goes to Jail but ion even care. I can finally do it! 🙌🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Got a little piece of my black card back.
Not madea out of jail 😭😭
My gratitude for you is out of this world. I’ve been wanting to learn how to cornrow since I was young because I was never able to. My mother was too busy to teach me. I decided to go on RUclips (I recently got a mannequin head so I could practice doing hair) and I’ve been trying to do cornrow but kept failing repeatedly. I looked at many tutorials but they wouldn’t help me and it only led me to be more frustrated. It’s because of this video I finally grasped the concept of cornrow. Thank you sooo very much, you’ve made my childhood wish come true😊
This is the best beginner tutorial I’ve come across ! Thank youuu
I was looking for you to thank you!!, I watched your video almost two weeks ago and surprisingly I can braid my own hair.... I've been trying for years about 4years now and thanks to you I'm making neat Knotless braids now. I'm really proud of myself 😊❤ God bless you for this tutorial!
🎊🎉🎊
I’ve watched soooo many videos. This one is the first one that actually made sense. If you are an over thinker this video will help you get it! Thank you!!
MISS MAAAMM YOU HELPED ME 😭😭 practice makes progress thank youuu
girl i just don't have the upper arm strength for my hair 😂😂 im just too impatient but i'll try
(also you're so pretty)
Lmfaooo sooo trueeee
Me either
Gurrrrl I watched this only once and you made me learn I'm 6 minutes whst I've been trying to learn almost all my life
I'm from London, in my late 30's and have never been able to maintain my natural hair so have never bothered. I have seen so many videos on how to cornrow but still never quite grasped what to do and so this is the first time I have made a youtube comment. My cornrow wasn't perfect but I know it will get better with practice. Thank you so much for a great, simple and easy to follow video
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched so many videos on cornrowing but yours is the most thorough about finger placement and overall technique. I've got a lot to relearn about how I braid in general to be able to use your technique, but I feel it's worth it to learn how to cornrow.
I’ve watched my fair share of how to cornrow your hair videos, but this is by far the best video yet!! I was finally able to do it!! Thank you so much and yass stay poppin my African sista!! 🇳🇬💁🏾♀️ #weouthere
I feel so slow watching this. I feel like I’m in math class. I stare at her hand movements and think I got it but I always mess up. I’m too old to not know how to do my own hair.
righttt
Same and I am so frustrated I hate myself 😭
Just tried and it didn't come out as neat but I DID IT! Always have to come back here no matter how much other videos I've watched. Thank you Dope! Now to practice to perfection. And I will be moving on to doing box braids next.....
I have been trying to cornrow my hair for years, like literally a decade, and couldn’t do it. Watched your video twice and was able to get it done. Thank you so much. I don’t have people around me to teach these techniques and this will change how I do my hair for years to come.
Thank you so much my husband has been wanting me to cornrow his hair for years now and your the first one to explain it where I can understand... totally gonna be watching more of your videos!!!
I've watched a lot of con row videos but this is so my best so far, I understood it so quickly and I'm going to practice as soon as I loose my hair. And would give a feedback. Thanks❤
Thank you so much for this, I'm a white mama w a mixed little boy. Dad's always had long hair, styled himself but seemed to forgot a lot since getting dreads.
However after watching your videos, trial and error I did it! Means a lot to be able to do my children's hair. ❤️
The fetish is real. Why did people need to know your colour? 🙄
10/10 on explanation and demonstration - i actually did it !!! 😭
After trying to cornrow for so long, I finally got it after watching you. Thank you for making a very easy to follow tutorial and actually showing your hands on your head. Great work 🏆
It took a year, but I found it:
The best video tutorial on self-cornrows. I've watched plenty and although they were clearly explained, something about your video made everything click!
Thank you for sharing!
girl you bouta have me infront of my mirror wasting time😭😭but there’s nothing else to do, sooo
This video actually helped me finally understand this
Also, your hair is so pretty 😍
I’m coming back to show this video some love because I was able to roughly put my hair in two cornrows or French braids after watching dozens of how to braid videos. I started practicing during quarantine and by the end of the year my hair wasn’t as badly damaged and I was able to retain a little length. I kept coming back to this video and eventually it clicked. My braids aren’t the best looking but now I’m confident enough to wear them out. 💜
I’m 24 years old and am tired of not knowing what to do for my hair when the twist out gets old! This is the clearest explanation for cornrows I’ve seen so far! Thank you ❤
OMG! I have been braiding hair for years. Mostly using the French braid technique. This video helped so much, i think I can do it now, myself and also sometime. I'm going to try real soon, current I'm rocking the twists. This was the simplest approach
Thank you so much for this. I’d given up on cornrows until I saw this video & immediately it made sense. I tried and I’m now rocking my first set of cornrows by me in the 31 years of my life 😂💚
Adorable. And I love how she’s never that extra. Thank uuuu after 25 years I finally followed :)
The government is definitely listening to my thoughts cus I was planning on corn rowing my hair today and this was in my recommended😂😳
The government came through tho
no fair, your fbi agent must be a brotha, we aint all that look lucky lmao
