My mom used to cornrow my hair to protect me from lice at school. I'm Puerto Rican and it was very common to see other Hispanic or Latina children wearing braids to school for that same reason.
NICE WORK, I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS DONE TO A LATINA, ASIAN, OR A FEMALE ALIEN CREATURE FROM ANOTHER WORLD, WE ALL NEED TO STYLE OUR HAIR HOW WE WANT IT TO BE STYLE, DIDN'T COME HERE TO FOR THAT, GREAT JOB SIS, KEEP IT UP!
honestly I dont understand why people get so butt hurt about it if you want to do your hair a certain way you should do it like it doesnt have to do with anybody else because its your hair
@@user-xw4dx6vm4x then why do people bleach their hair? Thats not apart of your culture or ethnicity. Why do you straighten your hair if its not naturally straight?m

@@ms.r6272 because blacks people can have straight and blond hair and the fact that you don’t know that shows your ignorance. You cannot compare culture to a trait.
@Girdz17 I understand what you're saying it does seem like there is no difference but as someone said because of the difference in hair texture it makes it "different". As a black female I find it easier to cornrow black hair than white hair because black hair generally is easier to grip because of the texture. Also it generally doesn't have as much movement so it won't slip out of place as much. So it is different when I cornrow my white friends' hair than my own.
Oh my days!! This has got to be the best "how to cornrow" video that I've seen after searching for months to find a way to cornrow white peoples hair.. If I would have known to take the hair and add it to the middle, I would have been doing it by now. This was so easy to follow and I cornrowed a bit at the front of my head while watching it.. Thanks so much for this superb video (y) ;) x
Caucasian here. Just braided my 6 yr old granddaughters hair to the scalp in rows . Oh my goodness it looks so good. I told her she had to wrap her head when she slept. Lol. That braid and loc butter is a must to hold hair together making it successful. The hardest part was getting her to work with me by holding head a certain way with whatever direction needed to keep braid tight. I LOVE IT AND I CANT WAIT FOR HER TO ROCK IT TO SCHOOL !
I got my hair braided every holiday in the Caribbean or when we went to Africa! I loved it - the women who did it would let me choose beads and I always got it cornrowed straight back to my crown then it would fall in braids. I went back when I was 13 got it done again. Everyone in school wanted it but I was like "sorry! gotta go to Cancun!" I need to braid peoples hair for our dance show your video has helped so much. You are also really easy to watch and understand! good job :)
My sister got her hair corn rowed in Jamaica as soon as she got off the plane. Thease ladies ran up to her and they did it so fast,too and my sister's hair is LONG and THICK,so thick she has to have it professionally thinned to keep from getting headaches. They only charged whatever you wanted to give them. They bombarded her, though,she didn't even have a chance to say yes or no,LOL,but she was glad they did it and she looked fabulous.
Great video. I would have way preferred to hear you over the music. If you tube makes you choose, please choose your voice. Music isn't really needed.... at least for me.
This video is amazing and awesome. You have such a charming presence and your enunciation is clear, and your method is easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to make this; a lot of people think that people who are not black can't have gorgeous cornrows. You are fantastic, thanks so much for your hard work. :) They look so fabulous!
Thank you so much for your tutorials. My daughter gos to school and most of her friends are black and she has been begging me to braid her hair with beads. I just couldn't get it figured out untill I found you. Thank you... for making her wish come true.
You did a beautiful job. It sucks that they deleted your audio because of background music, though I still enjoyed the substitute song and appreciate that you left it up anyway. It doesn't look quite as intimidating, but I cannot figure out how to do that to myself.
@lilv1987 Twists are a bit more complicated since there's less tension to hold the hair in place, but it can be done. You'd have to use rubber bands at the end to make sure they don't come undone.
Appropriation is wearing another human’s hair on your own head. Aka extensions. Before you complain about “appropriation” check to see if you’ve got an impoverished Asian or Indian girl’s hair on your own damn head.
I know a blonde, white girl, and she got cornrows on the top half of her hair, and wore the rest in a cute ponytail. Anyone can get cornrows, and have it look good. If you want them, go for it! ;)
the music!! also i love cornrows and i think they are so beautiful on other girls but i feel like i always get judged... i tend to wear my hair in tight braids while i am fishing (i spend a lot of my time on the boat in the marsh where the wind and salt can be brutal) and it does the best job to protect my hair. thank you for being supportive of people expressing their hair!!!
When I was a kid my godmother used to put box braids and corn rows in my hair because I loved them and it kept my long thick hair from becoming a rat's nest when I played. I was tender headed though so I hated getting it done even if I loved them after =p
awesome! :) i'm indian. my hair is below my waist and wavy.. and I have suddenly caught a fancy to intricate braiding , i was really unsure if it would be possible.. your video says it is and now i think all i need is a gel.. i might try individual braids on my own hair... but first i think ill experiment on my husband's hair ;) he has curly hair.. how could i make the braids hold without elastics, any thoughts?
@Girdz17 "white" people hair ia different Texture. Afro textured hair is extra curly so the hair strands hold onto each other. "white" hair is smooth, and that makes it harder for the braids to stay in. This tutorial is great
very good tutorial and the idea of the gell. I tried to do it with my boyfriends hair but i kept putting hairs in the braid that weren't supposed to be in it haha.
i'm white and would like braids and this is encouraging! I was wonder how long they are likely to stay in and if there's anything more than sleeping with a scarf on or moisturizing them that needs to be done?
ok to all of you that commented me on the comment "i" left a while ago i just wanted to say its wasnt me who said it, it was my ex bf and im very sorry for his very rude comment
It technically didn't descend only from Africa. The Vikings and the Egyptians and the Native Americans were doing all sorts of braids and shit before the boats came over from Africa 😊
As far as u know there is no difference apart from the texture but i think a lot of people of all races are keen to see how its done. I think the poster of the Vid should have probably chose a different title but maybe the people she was aiming it at wouldnt look at it so she went for the 'in your face' title.
i've got REALLY straight hair, and when i went to the USA a woman did something like that in my hair... i loved it!! but a couple of hours in the sun and the skin in my skull war red!! it hurt so much i had to undo them the same day... guess i should have worn a cup!
I didn't know u had to be certain "color" to wear a certain hairstyle if I dye my skin purple am I "allowed to wear this hair style geeeeez point being god made every single one of us black white or polka dotted we are allllll gods children and those who say things like "she's too white for cornrows" just sound ignorant like seriously get a grip and possibly a life and grow up
Mommy and me Baby fun you dont she is just showing how to braid that type of hair because its harder to braid soft and straight hair rather than thick nappy hair
It is for the type of hair.....it is harder n last less also so many braide styles or artwork that r so hard or impossible to do on thin hair straight or curly...it is like even the curly "none african hair" braids last less n not have the same volume ....sometime we wish to have it....😉
I have my hair cornrolled I always style it tho when I get it done like put it in a ponytail or cute bun. I'm white but my hair is sooooo thick and wild. I find that if u tease your hair before braiding that it will stay longer
I really like your video but you're not going into any detail of what to use on the hair how to use it how to get started and so on. Just a few words of advice in my opinion that's all but still a great video. my hair is really short and it's hard to grab cuz it's really soft and smooth. What would you recommend to make it a little stiffer and easier to handle?
@Girdz17 basically everything. its not being racist. Hair is different depeneding on whether your black or white. Black hair is a lot more skill to do than white hair. Chris Rock did an entire show about black people hair just to show how much work is put into it when they style it. look it up.
Its really stupid when people say white people wearing braids is "cultural appropriation". Medieval & likely ancient Norse, Swedish, & Danish vikings wore their hair in braids when it was long enough. The Celts most likely did too. Just saying lol.
What kind of gel do you use? The sticky one or which one? I use a pomade made of vegetable oils which usually works when applying it on the roots before braiding.
I can't remember if I sent you a personal email, but if I didnt, in that video I had 2 strand twists with extensions. Don't worry, not negative energy here!
I'm not fond of the thickness of the braids. Too much scalp showing, can't they be smaller braids more like, God forbid I say it but. Smaller braids smaller part like the cornrows Bo Derek wore in 10. And the part can't it be more of a straight line and less of a diagonal direction??
@FlowerRFabulous Lol It's not that their hair is soft it's just that their hair lacks texture and has too much slip in turn making it hard to hold... side note:how the hell did I end up on this video anyway...i was watching nail tutorials and ended up in braids...oh youtube....
@JustinShawtynumba1 Why? She's talking about how black people have coarse hair. Some Asians have darker colored skin but they aren't black. Stop getting butthurt
What kind of gel did you use and how long do these braids last? My daughter is multiracial and her braids just fall out after a day or two (didn't think of using gel, thanks!). Also, what were you saying in the video when you were pointing in between the braids? Was it something about the scalp?
hey i saw ur vid n i woz wanderin i'm a white 18year old male and i wanna get cornrows i was just wonderin howl ong would u say hair needs 2 b 2 have cornrows done minimum length?? my hair is about 3 inches i think at the moment would u say thats long enough?

If you can grab the hair to put it underneath another strand of hair without it coming apart, then you can braid it. 3 inches should be fine.

Can’t hear you but love your acceptance! ❤️
Im white and i have braids it looks realy good!!
Its good that your making this video because you know its kinda hard to braid silky straight hair.
i used to have them and im white and people gave me shit for it but i looked cute

used the same color rubberbands as her hair.

it dont look good . you do good hair but not everybody can pull hair styles off

Rubyhammerhead 3-4 weeks. Just know that even when sleeping with the durag your hair will get frizzy faster than a black persons hair would.
@princess80886 I had to audioswap, but now you can read the text which will give you a better explanation
Why would u put music on an instructional video? I learned nothing and now have to search for another video where I can hear the girl explaining it.
when i got corn rows my head sunburned -__- it was kinda funny. i has red stipes in between blond hair
WHERE SUNSCREEN if ur white and u get corn rows
it would help if we could hear what the woman was saying
ok to all of you that commented me on the comment "i" left a while ago i just wanted to say its wasnt me who said it, it was my ex bf and im very sorry for his very rude comment
it was either pick a song from youtube or delete the entire video because of copyright issues with the music.
Actually it's best suited for black hair because it's coarse and holds better.
That's how africans used to wear they're hair back then and now.
So, petelover, one question... does that mean cornrows do not look good on light skinned black people either, since their scalps are pale as well?!
depends on the texture if its closer to white the you cant because itll fall apart even in a rubberband but alot spanish people can
It technically didn't descend only from Africa. The Vikings and the Egyptians and the Native Americans were doing all sorts of braids and shit before the boats came over from Africa 😊
It's a little tricky sometimes to braid hair that is very silky and not course in texture.

Its really stupid when people say white people wearing braids is "cultural appropriation". Medieval & likely ancient Norse, Swedish, & Danish vikings wore their hair in braids when it was long enough. The Celts most likely did too. Just saying lol.
what she means is that white people have soft really soft hair which get unbraided really quick if u dont know how to do it shes not bein racist
I want to cornrow my sons hair up into a jura so I can protect his hair for longer.
Why the music? A tutorial is most helpful if the audio can be heard!
no matter how many times i try my fingers move away from the head, i just cant seem to get my fingers in the right place
My hair is much shorter, but I'm told its long enough to braid. I wanna do it, but can't seem to figure out how to do it...
Same here. Let me know if you find a helpful video!
So cornrows are like a bajillion tiny French braids!?!?!?
What kind of gel do you use? The sticky one or which one? I use a pomade made of vegetable oils which usually works when applying it on the roots before braiding.
The one you're using sounds perfect. You want s gel that holds and is moisturizing at the same time
the braids where a little shaky......why does she say trace i thought it was called parting
yes you can, but, i'd put on a swimming cap to protect the braids from getting soaking wet.
I was hoping for more than a video with loud music 😅
I can't remember if I sent you a personal email, but if I didnt, in that video I had 2 strand twists with extensions. Don't worry, not negative energy here!

Why put a different picture at the beginning of the video 🤦🏽♀️ and do something totally different
braiding a white persons hair is like playing badminton with a tennis ball or tennis with a shuttlecock
she did washed her hair during those two weeks.
