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 💕
Girl, appreciate you, take care✊🏾🌟
❤
Thank you!!!!
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!!!
I finally got it to look neat because of you! I been able to do EVERYTHING but cornrow this whole time. THANK YOU Queen!
At my big age I still don’t know how to cornrow... it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one lol
Hayat Adem yea 24 and know nothing
Me neither...and this still didn't help🤣
Hayat Adem girl I’m close to 40 and never learned!
21 and Im now trying to learn 😭
I'm 35 and don't know 😱
i’m 13, mixed with a white mum who can’t do my hair and a clueless black dad so this helped a lot :)
youtube is about to be your bestfriend 😭
Same😂 except I’m 15 but I feel you 😭
Jalicia Babylon it is lmaoo, i learnt how to braid and detangle and my hair is actually pretty nice now. Still got loads to learn tho 🥴
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 😭🤣
same! my mum doesnt know how to do it :(
You really just taught me how to braid my hair in 7 minutes. It wasn’t the neatest, but girl.
Same 😅 I immediately got it
Nah frrrr same bro
Can’t Chile! Same!
It's better than nothing
I'm still strugglin
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!
Jesus loves you & Has a Purpose available for you to receive!🙌🏽
This is a mood
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. 😂😂😂
@@WHOLEWOMANPODamen Jesus Christ is king forever
I'm coming out of this quarantine knowing how to cornrow
GIRL YESS!! I'm learning how to flat twist tooo!! My hairstyles can finally level up😢😢
Thought I was the only one
omg yesss like I don't gotta ask my aunts or my Nanna I can just wip it up!!
Nesiannn Blue yes gal!!
Yes!!
Her voice so clear, I thought she was doing a voiceover the whole time 💀
Girl she is doing a voice over lol
CocoaBananas23 she mean like the beginning we’re she was actually talking
@@Samiya1roxanne she wasn't actually, she was talking the whole time no voiceovers! Pretty impressive
oddly specific she did voice over some of it bc her mouth wasn’t always moving
Frrrrrr
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
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!!!
Fracens Robert
My brain after watching this video: Oh yea that makes sense. You got this.
My hands: NOPE
🤣
Our hands: *Keep dreaming sis*
🤣
lmboooo i swear it be the hands!!!!!

jadexoddam_ I’m SO glad it is😭
Right!!!!!!!
Yesss!!😭👏🏾👏🏾
Exactly
I just followed her and boom 4 cornrows 😂
Yassss same girl lmaoo
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
****cornrow
Congratulations 🎉
Interesting noted your color depsite its actual origins
white?
@@KC-nn5wcyeah they originated from Africa. It was passed down to slaves and now to black Americans.
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! 😊
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 !
As for me I can Conrow other people but I can't do mine
@@yoniem9835 sameeee ;(
Im white and i have the exact same hair as the girl in the video
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
@@elenik.6308 Stop lying because white people can't have afro-textured hair like black people do!😒
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!!🙏🏽♥️♥️
💓💓💓
Awww so happy for you.. I hope she see's your comment.. keep going mama.. you do got this.. all the way..
yo . . reading this gave me hope ngl
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!
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! 💕💕
🎊🎉🎊💋
Damn I think I just learned how to finally f*ing cornrow!!!!! OMG
Aaliyah Culmer GIRL... what?! Lol me too!
Me too🤗🤗🤗
me too 😅
Me too
Aaliyah Culmer owwww
This comment section is giving me life everyone's so positive and supportive and I´m lovin it😌
🤗
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.
You literally saved my life with this tutorial. I taught myself how to braid under and not over and this helps me so much!
Yall as embarrassing as it is to say. I was able to do it and I broke down and started crying 😂💀 its ugly but I've never been able to do it until now
i broke down cause i couldnt :\ ( still kinda in tears rn)
@@naomisamuel4286 it took me a little bit too you'll get it keep trying! I'm rooting for you!!!
Girl same! I don't know what happened but a switch went off in my head and my hands just did it.
Same! I couldn’t do it for the life of me until I watched this video
@@jessalamode Right! I don't know why it suddenly made sense
Who else's arms get realllyyy achy when trying to do their own hair? Lolll
Mine
Halfway through the first braid I be ready to quit 😫

Hahahahaha dang! 😂
I use my pinkies to grab hair sometimes and they cramp up so bad 😭
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. 💖💖
Literally the ONLY video that my brain can comprehend and makes sense and I’ve watched so many! Thank you ❤️
Just cornrowed my entire head 😭 who would’ve thought??
Was it Easy
Omg gg 😂
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
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 💖
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!
this helped a lot but i still can’t do it 😭😭😭
update: i got it!! thank u
yaaaay
Awesome 👏🏾
Excellent!
U got ittt❤️
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.
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'm a 25 year old woman who's pushing herself to learn and master this in 2021. Your video is the only one that's made the most sense to me. Thank you so much for posting.
So did you become a cornrow queen ? 😃 Btw I am 30 and still struggling with cornrows (I should have my black card revoked 😅)
@@leila_de_hautjardin Girl, I’m still on my journey. We’ll get our cards revoked together!
@@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. 💀
Sis......there are no words to express my gratitude lol. My cornrows may look a hot mess, but thanks to you I dont have to pay someone to braid my hair down just to throw on my favorite wig. GOD BLESS YOU SIS, and thanks for actually teaching us how to do it instead of simply saying WaTCh mY FiNGeRs
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.😁
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!!
My last three brain cells trying to think this pattern through in my head
😂😂
and your profile picture makes it a lot better!

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!
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!!
After 25 years this video has taught me how to braid ☺️
😱🙆🏿

Amen 🙏🏽
I’m so glad you made this video. It’s in my to do list whilst I’m self isolating. Stay safe everyone 🙏🏾❤️

Just subscribed! You are literally the only person who has made me understand the process of doing cornrows. Thanks!
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!
🎊🎉🎊
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

I practiced on my shih tzu while I watched this lmfao and I finally DID IIIIIT, THANK YOU GIRL, only took 20 years 😂
Omg Ashley 😭😭 olive youuu

LMAOO, on your dog??!
sophia girl yes 💀💀💀💀
Omg hilarious 😂
I am currently learning how to cornrow...Watched alot of videos but yours is the only one I could see and understand how to. Thank you for this.
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.....
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
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!
you're the first to explain this & me get it on the first try. thank you sm!
I'm only 3min in and this is the best cornrow video out there. I've watched many and just couldn't do it . The way you explained it so well for someone who is completely clueless thanks and definitely subscribed now.
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 😭😭
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!!!
Best description EVER! THANK YOU!!
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
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 😭❤️❤️
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 🏆
OmG!!! My mom is gonna be so PROUD I learned to cornrow!!💜
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!!!
This is literally the BEST tutorial I have seen in all my 22 years of living!
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.
THANKYOU!!! I’ve watched like a 100 other videos but I found them waaay to complicated. Yours is so so so clear to me, I can finally do cornrows now. I’m beyond happy rn, I could literally cry! 😭Especially since I was so ashamed to be the only black girl in my circle that couldn’t braid hair. So thankyou thankyou thankyou 🤩
I cried so many times while attempting this. Any type of braid attached to the scalp is so difficult and stressful for me.
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 😭
You are so light to the heart❤️ Sending you love
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 😂💚
girl you bouta have me infront of my mirror wasting time😭😭but there’s nothing else to do, sooo
I was JUST about to look up videos on how to cornrow my own hair & wow timing is perfect.
Akira B. yesss🙏🏾
Sending a humongous hug girl thank you so much I've been trying my entire life to learn how to cornrow and French braid and could never get either down until I watched this tutorial thank you thank you thank you so much you actually explained it and showed it to me to where my brain got it thank you so much much much much much much much much much appreciated!!!!❤
I' ve went through a dozen tutorials and gave up! But finally a tutorial that worked for me. Thank you!

This was the best explanation of how to do braids from beginning to the end without the confusion in between!!!! I just told my mom I'm going to try to braid my daughter's hair now❤️❤️
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 love how i watched this tutorial and still spent over an hour trying to attempt this .. ugh imma just log off for the day 😭😭

I can't believe i actually did my first cornrow. This is the best video for a beginner. Woohoo!!
