    Hey GlamFam! In this video I am showing you how to cornrow for beginners, I break down the basics of underhand braiding, how to cornrow, the difference between cornrows and dutch braids, and how to part hair for cornrows. Throughout the video I also share time saving tips, and tips on how to prevent traction alopecia. I also included solutions for all the common mistakes I see beginners make, and I even share tips to prevent hand pain and arthritis! This is an incredibly detailed tutorial for cornrowing, and it is my hope that it is massively helpful. If you like it, you may like some of my other videos as well:

      I'm a true beginner so this is helpful to me, but I'm going to have to practice, practice, and more practice to get it. 8:48 instruction is really helpful for me with you repeating "under the middle," helps big time. Thanks. I will definitely replay.

She paid someone who braid too tight and it was the first and last time that it was done. Now I can practice this and do it for myself. Thank you Lindwood. This is empowering.

    40 minutes ago, I was challenged to learn to braid by all 4 of my younger sisters, and I have 6 months to go from knowing nothing about hair to being comfortable with braiding so I can 'beat' my sisters in a braiding challenge. I appreciate how clear, concise, and detailed the video is. It's given me the confidence that I can win, in 6 months. This might turn out to be a great skill for me to develop and keep in my back pocket for when I have daughters of my own one day or if my future wife ever wants to get cornrows/braids.

    saying under the middle and grip the outside strand and just focusing on the top of the braid and not underneath. I’ve been trying to learn to cornrow for over 25 years and just couldn’t figure out how my fingers were supposed to be positioned and how much hair to grab. Thank you so so much for taking the time to teach the two different hand positions for starting and finishing the braid and what not to do. This video is pure gold!

    I cannot describe to you how MUCH I LOVE, appreciate & have learned in a short time, from this video! From your amazing guidance on slowing/ rewinding the vid to your comfort level of watching. Your tip on repeating, "left/ right/over the middle" (since I have the EXACT difficulty you mention, having almost ZERO nails but having learned braiding over the top instead of from under, so that was always the technique I used, no matter how much i struggled & inconvenient it would be!) Your parting, demonstrating the width of the scalp, etc... I'm just so grateful that you made such valuable content. I may be Caucasian but my husband is black & I've always wanted to get more consistent w/ his hairstyles, besides just an afro. Costs for hair salons can really add up & since he's an entertainer, I LOVE the idea of getting to change up his styles/designs! Practice, practice, practice is the best way for me to excel but NOW, w/ all of your articulate & helpful techniques & instruction, I believe I'll improve much quicker! ❤ THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

    This is by far the best tutorial I've seen on how to make cornrows. The "aha" moment for me was when you said "under the middle". Til now I didn't understand that this was the teqnique. Each time I'm doing cornrows I put you on and get better every time . Thank you so much!

    I’m 25 and after years of trying your video actually showed me how to braid. I just braided my daughters hair for the first time. Thank you. I’m so happy that I can braid, this video really helped me.

    I didn’t know how to braid to save my life and I bought a mannequin head and watched your videos and now I got the corn rolls down packed, I’m excited to do my kids hair now 😂🫶🏼

    I've been trying to learn to cornrow and I've watched 10 million tutorials. This is the only video that has helped me. Especially the part about naturally just grabbing the hair as you go. Thank you so much.
