1. Use a medium-to-fine-toothed comb to part the hair, separating a row of hair into your desired length.
2. Determine the direction you want the braid to go in. Remember to begin braiding at the base of the strand, moving out to the tips. This will give you that smooth, finished look that makes these braids so popular.
3. Once you’ve figured out which way you want the cornrows to go, go to the section you want to begin with and separate it into three small sections. The left strand will be A, the middle B, and the right strand will be C.
4. Begin braiding:
a. Hold A between the second and third fingers from the pinky.b. Hold B between the index finger and the thumb on your left hand.
c. Take C with the thumb and index finger of your right hand.
d. Use your right index finger to grab A from the left hand.e. Bring it under B and over C.
f. Use your index finger to carry over C, as you simultaneously grab the hair from the row underneath.
Caring for Your Braids
The best way to care for your cornrows is to:
• Put a cap of shampoo and water together and pour it over the braids.
• Take a cottonball and rub it over your scalp in one direction.
• Wash out the shampoo.
• To keep your scalp from drying out, use a spray on conditioner.
