This was me 2 years ago, maybe a little less. Now, I do my own hair most of the time! (My mom does it when heat is involved) learning how to take care of my own hair feels great. Now my mom and I share what we discover 😊

I love how she explained the technique with the yarn, it really helps that instead of just getting straight into “TAKE THIS SECTION THEN ADD THIS SECTIONS AND PUT IT INTHER ANOTHER SECTION” she made sure to explain it simple beforehand. it’s just so much easier to learn to do something when you actually understand what you’re doing.

I wanted to come back here to THANK YOU! I have very thick, afro medium length hair (a mix of 3c-4b) that can be hard for me to style because of the sheer volume of it. A couple months ago, I watched the braiding technique you showed a few times and after a couple times practicing I had little progress. I wanted to achieve this so I could do a cute protective style on myself from anywhere instead of needing a stylist. Today I decided to try it again, felt super relaxed and didn't go in with any expectation. I somehow kept the muscle memory of the technique you taught and just went for it. I closed my eyes, felt my way through my hair with the technique and when I was done it looked sooo lovely. For some reason, closing my eyes and focusing on how it feels and envisioning the hair pattern helps me. I can't wait to practice more to refine it. THANK YOU!

This video makes me think I might eventually learn to do this...

Omg girl you are a GODSEND! I’m currently twelve and this helped so much, especially with the color coded yarn! My mom has dreads and she never really taught me how to manage my hair. Thanks so much!

I watched this video over a year ago and for the first time I understood how to cornrow. I am currently training right now and i just thought I shld come back to say thank you. My trainer thinks she thought me how to braid in few days but you actually did. You r amazing. GOD bless you.

Thank god for you Whitney! Until now, I seriously could NOT comprehend how to do cornrows. It didn't matter how many videos I watched/rewatched, it just wasn't clicking with me for some reason. But the yarn demonstration that you decided to use helped SO much! I think it's because it made it way easier to actually see the pieces you were working with, and the colors also made it much easier to follow the pattern. When people demonstrate on their own hair, everything tends to blend in with each other so it makes it so much more difficult to understand. Thank you so much for this video... I've been wanting to do this as a protective style for years, and now I finally can 😊

Now wait a minute Whitney O_O For the first time in my life I felt like I understood the explainations to cornrow so I decided to give it a try (for the hundredth time of course), my hair needs to be washed anyway so it's okay if I mess my curls... LORD ! The first try was hesitant and I ended up with a loose cornrow: but I actually ended up with a cornrow !!!! Second try, mistakes again but it's tighter and snap ! My fingers got the trick. Third time was a charm and I actually goddess braided my hair ! You have just opened a world of crochet braids, of protective styles under wigs, of better looking cornrows to replace my used up flat twists !! So when I say THANK YOU, just know that I mean it Whitney

Oh. My. Goodness. 😳😳 I did it. I did it and it actually looks decent. Thank you!!!

5 minutes into this video I could do what I haven’t been able to do for decades. And not for lack of trying/watching how-tos. I JUST cornrowed all of my hair. For the first time. You’re amazing! Thank you.

The first few minutes with the yarn taught me after YEARS of not being able to. I just needed to know how to remember what piece to add the hair to. You're adding to the opposite side, and putting it under the middle. Repeat. It's so easy. Because when I'm trying to do a braid with my hands backwards, that order was BEYOND me!

It feels so uncomfortable going under this is the best tutorial BEST one I seen yet the yarn and the beginning was everything **Favorite**

I had to repost this on Facebook. I always joke with my friends that we missed the black girl right of passage by not learning how to cornrow, because everybody mama does. I posted it on my Facebook and said, 'Here's a video for all my friends who don't know how to cornrow just like me." I slowly had to teach myself by trial and error once i went natural. I haven't mastered it like i have with my flat twist.

I always brought hair over instead of under! Now I'll go under! Thanks!!

This is not a French or Dutch braid. It is a CORNROW. Yes, they look similar, but the difference is with the braiding technique. When most of us think of cornrows, we think of the whole head being braided. Whitney did do cornrows, she just did two big ones. And to all the non black ppl asking if u can wear cornrows: Nothing's stopping u from wearing cornrows, however make sure u educate yourself about what black American's face, regarding hair for this situation. And when/if u get backlash from black ppl, have an educated response like "I know why some of u are offended by this, and i understand. For me, i like the style. I'm not ignorant to what black ppl faced regarding their hair for generations" Some black ppl will appreciate that response over "Omg it's 2016, get over it! U don't own a hairstyle". U will be showing respect. Many other races take parts of our culture that they like, without showing any type of respect to black ppl, particularly black Americans. They take apart our culture, they don't partake of our culture with us. Empathy, and respect, can go along way.

Amazing comment. Its so hard that our culture was taken from us and it took generations to finally establish a new culture. Respect is all thats asked :)

They actually are Dutch braids... Cornrows are just Dutch braids in ROWS. Dutch braids can be both loose, or tight - doesn't change what type of braid it is.🙂

I don't usually care to leave a comment on videos, but I just felt the need to say thank you so very much for this video, this has helped a LOT with mine and my child's hair. So thorough!! Saved ✔

Praises...the stars have aligned; I do beautiful french braids, but I never got the concept of overhand braids. Practicing with the yarn and your step by step directions are spot on. Thank you...even though I think french braids are prettier, this is just another skill for me. You are awesome!

The absolute BEST tutorial i've watched, thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm half black and half Puerto Rican and my hair is hella thick and I really wanted to try this out on myself, but all the tutorials are too advanced for my short attention span 😂 the yarn really helped!

trinketisakitten black can mean African, Caribbean, European, Dominican, or puerto Rican background. But I'm not saying that like the rude comment that called you attention seeking, you were simply just sharing what you were and no problem wirh rhat.

G B You sound so ignorant Puerto Rican IS a race. Go up to a Puerto Rican and tell them they're anything other, you'll get popped QUICKLY

Every time I need a reminder on how to Cornrow I look for your video and it gets braiding and on to my next protective style. I’m so grateful because I’m in my late 30’s finally feeling empowered to embrace my natural hair and have fun with the process. Thank you SO much for sharing! 🙏🏾💜💃🏾

Your video was by far the best one I've seen for doing such braids! I love how you demonstrated with yarn. It honestly helped a lot! Thanks again for the good content!!

Yes Whitney, thank for calling them cornrows and not boxer braids Lol.

I have been trying to wrap my head around these braids for so long! This is the best and clearest explanation/demonstration I have seen!!! Thank you so much!

I’ve looked at dozens of cornrow how to videos and this is the first one that gives me a bit of confidence that I can master it because cornrows and flattwists are almost the right of passage to natural hair lol thanks whit

Love your videos first of all! Today was a breakthrough day for me with cornrows and now I get it. I already knew how to braid but just could not get the cornrow part. Along with one other video, yours is the best that keeps pointing out how the middle is key.Now I get it! Thank you!😊

I know how to do this but I have nothing better to do with my life right now, so, I'll watch.

I LOVE THE DESCRIPTION!!

This helped me learn how to cornrows, after many years of not knowing! I am 40 years old and feel so accomplished🤗 thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Omg thank you so much !!! I have looked at 10 videos and have been confused and still wasn’t able to cornrow i got the concept just by watching 2 minutes of your video the yarn method of explains it was super amazing !! And simple thank u again!!

This was such a great tutorial but I guess I'm too stupid to understand how to do this braid it's so frustrating😂

OML THANK YOU SO MUCHHH FOR THIS TUTORIAL. I didn't know how to braid, AT ALL. But when you gave an example of braiding the yarn, I tried following how you were showed it, and know out so many years tbh I can finally braid, thaaanks!

I am so happy right now and am eternally grateful to you and this amazing tutorial. I have been trying for years to cornrow, and I just couldn't. I was going OVER instead of UNDER and my braids were twisting and turning and just looked a hot mess. I watched this and within 30 seconds grabbed a doll and started braiding. I was shocked as it was actually a real, beautiful cornrow. Now I can braid and I am so thankful. Thank you so much!!!

I know how to cornrow my hair, I am just here for you! This was a great tutorial x

I still can't braid for nothing 😿

Same. I keep grabbing uneven amounts of hair and everything goes crooked. This has the be the best tutorial out there though.

I love love love your videos Whitney. I have been natural since September 2010 and I have watched your videos for years. Thank you for showing us how to cornrow on color yarn. This made it so much easier to follow.

Girl, I've always wanted to learn how to braid my hair for years, and it was always a struggle starting off and continuing the braid. When I tell you that listening to 6:04 really helped me achieve the actual braiding, I was so happy! My braids look a bit wonky but baby I finally got it! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!🥰

I've been trying to cornrow straight back for the longest now. I like that you demostrated with yarn. ps. your on the trending page on youtube.

I can barely put my hair in a bun without it being a frizzy mess lol
