    I cannot believe that this entire time, we're supposed to be adding hair to the middle section. I've been trying to add hair to every section and my fingers would criss-cross and the braid would be huge and lop-sided!! Thank you so much for making this video!!! The palms and knuckles piece makes a lot of sense and has been very helpful!

    Hi i just wanna drop by to say this.
    2 years ago i begged my sister to cornrow my hair.
    She said no. :'(
    but I'm glad she did
    because i looked for a tutorial on it
    and i found this.
    and then i tried it.
    big fail
    i gave up for a bit
    then the desire for cornrows arose again
    and then i tried
    and then i gave up again
    fast forward 4 months later and i did it!!! i got the basics
    it looked like garbage at first and i didn't go out of the house like that
    but with about another 15 times of cornowing it looked decent. Decent enough for my sister to BEG ME TO DO HERS OMGEEE
    i felt like i was over the moon. Never stopped cornrowing since...
    TBH the video was super helpful but there was this comment of a lady here that said the hair being added should be to the middle strand and that was what clicked for me and i tried it and it worked
    My advice:
    don't give it up i know how it feels and it looks like chinese letters but i promise that if you learn to be patient and keep trying and trying and trying till failure you will get it. I did it and i am so glad i did it. The braiding is only 1/4 the fun. The REAL fun was the 4 month learning.
    edit: the lady is marra joelle it just clicked i was like OHHHHHHHHHHHH

You taught me how to flat twist and now cornrow!!! The world is not ready for the hairstyles about to get into!!! I have spent many hours looking for a thorough, detailed tutorial and not one has helped, until now! Thank you so much for taking the time and thought to make this video. I feel so silly being beyond happy over something so small, but like this is a really big deal, you have no idea. Like I seriously cannot thank you enough!!!!

    To everyone that is learning right now how to cornrow
    It takes its time to get it done
    Just don’t give up that quick!
    It had literally 3 Breakdowns until i got myself and tried it again and again. It took me almost 2hours until i got the rhythm. And now i‘m practicing on the goodnesse of it.
    Just don’t quit!

    I just wish I knew how to grip my roots. I can get the motion of cornrowing, but the braids are always a good distance from my scalp 🙄 It's hard out here

    • @trinidaddy
      @trinidaddy 5 лет назад +31

      I use to have this problem too. The best way to explain how I got over this is to say that I started holding my hair tighter and closer to my scalp. The most likely reason why your braids are loose is because you aren't keeping the motion close enough to your scalp or you're not keeping your grip tight enough. I hope this helps if you haven't already overcame your issue

      Well, it's how they do on the other videos. I have been unable to braid my own head for years because of that method and because of the length of my hair and my burning arms. I guess, by picking up in the middle it will be a 100 times easier !

    • @misswhitney
      @misswhitney 8 лет назад +77

      It's still called a cornrows whether your picking up from the sides or middle it's still one big braid, two big braids or however many you have in your head there all called cornrows.

    • @katiegrawbarger8227
      @katiegrawbarger8227 8 лет назад +3

      There's a different braid that i learned long before called a dutch braid... yeah this is cornrowing but either way there is still a braid where you take from the sides and it's called a dutch braid...

    • @misswhitney
      @misswhitney 8 лет назад +54

    • @MariaAntoinetteTV
      @MariaAntoinetteTV  8 лет назад +55

      +Whitney Bell and Katie Grawbarger. Thank you both for commenting! The technique I'm doing is a Cornrow... Not to be confused with Dutch braid... So to say this is a Dutch braid is not factual. This is a Cornrow! They can not and should not be lumped together. They are similar but still different. I will be doing a video on Dutch braids as well as French Braids. They all have the different names because they are different techniques. Glad the video was helpful and hopefully this clear up any questions had about what I'm showing.
