How To Cornrow/Braid 2 Braids For Beginners

Hi guys welcome to my channel. My name is Yassir and, as you can see today, I'm showing me the two types of cornrows and how to cornrow the two types of cornrows feels like a tongue twister but I'll, be showing you guys how I do the inverted braid and the normal braid or, As I looked up on the internet, apparently they're called a Dutch braid and a French braid, so this is the French braid, the one that goes inside and the one that goes on the outside, which will be the other one. On the other side, is the Dutch braid, so this one is the Dutch braid which I don't know why they have. Your pre means. What do you call them in your countries, because I realize that YouTube is international TV obviously, and we all call them different things. So I'm setting out on here that is blow-dried. I just find it so much easier to do. Cornrows on the world right, hair just cause. My hair is not tangled up, so it makes it easier to do the parts I'm dividing my hair into two halves. Please don't mind the line, that's not what we're focusing on today. So the key to this making sure your hair is detangle is very important. It makes your life less frustrating and the whole process, and it just makes it easier for you to do the corner. I'M using the shine and jump conditioning gel to put to make sure my hair is laying as flat as possible and also to just cut all the flyaways. The gel is optional. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, and you can do it on wet hair as well. Just make sure that your hair is properly detangled before you start doing the cornrow. So after brushing it I'm going to start by doing the Dutch braid, which will be the normal Conroe. So I take a little piece at the front and I basically divided into three little pieces as you can see, and so the key for the two braids is really just your hands, as you can see for the Dutch braid, your pointing finger is the main finger. So your pointing finger is the thing that I use to take out more hair. As you can see, the pointing finger is going dividing the hair and it's holding everything in place and then going in again dividing a little piece of hair and, as you can see, when one hand is you taking more hair, like the other hand, is basically holding Everything else in place making sure that it doesn't move, try to use like same size sections. As you can see. I use like one little piece like one little section and then I'm going back like the regular sized sections that I was taking. It just makes the braid look better if you're using the same size sections as you're, adding in more hair into the corner. So I'm just going to continue doing the same thing. I'M using my pointing finger to basically grab and divide hair and, as you can see, my other hand is completely free and I just use that to make it easier for me to do the little Pat's as I'm doing the Comoros and again I grab that hair And again, using the pointing finger, I Pat the hair again, so I continue with the same process all the way until I go completely down so I'll. Let you continue watching for this one until I finish. Okay, so now we're just moving into the back end, I'm just going to continue doing the cornrow. Have you guys tried doing cornrows? Actually, can you do con rows? Can you do the Dutch braid or the French braid, which one can you do in which end you find easier for you to do? Also, please comment below like what do you call them in your country in Kenya? They call them lines because I grew up in Kenya and I don't know what you guys call it in your country. Again, YouTube is international TV, so let me know what you guys call them in your country, because I was very surprised that they're actually called like Dutch braid and French braid. I thought this was like kind of like you know like how an African thing like a black people thing. I didn't know it was a European thing. So let me know cuz clearly I don't know anything about hair history and all that stuff. But let me know - or you know why they started calling them that about from. I don't know, maybe it's coming from the colonial times. Let me know you know why they call them Dutch braids in French braiding. Okay, so I am finishing the Dutch braid right now and, as you can see, it looks great. It looks neat. I find that this is a really nice good protective style. If you don't want to do a lot with your hair, so you can learn how to do this girl. This would be a live lifesaver. So we're going to prepare the hair for the next section again, as you can see, I'm detangling it and I'm adding the gel and I'm going to brush the gel again, as I did in the first section and then after doing that, we're going to just do A line in the middle of the section, because I like doing that just because that guarantees me where the you know like the top of the braid, is going to lay that's. Why I do the middle part and, as you can see, as I'm studying, I basically take one little section and move it to the other side and, as you can see in this one, it's different the hand position. As you can see, it's the the thumb that is actually holding onto the hair, not the pointing finger as it was in the Dutch play. So this is the French braid that we're doing right now and, as you can see it's the thumb, as you can see, the thumb is the one holding onto the hair. Oh, my god, I was trying to be very intentional, with my movements of my hand and being very slow to make sure that I can show how it happens, but I hope you guys can see it. So it's my thumb that is holding the hair and you're. Basically, tacking the hair under instead of like tick, checking the hair on top as you do in the Dutch braid. As you can see, the other hair is going under right. It'S going under the other hair instead of like going on top as it does in the Dutch braid. So I recently just learned how to do the Dutch braid, because I always just did this one, the French braid and it took me forever to learn how to do the Dutch, braid and girls are so excited, but I can actually do both right now and I Just wanted to share that with you guys cuz. If you cannot do the other one, you can probably do this one, because this one is like making a fishtail. If you've tried making a fishtail before you know like a ponytail fishtail, then it's basically the same concept where you're taking one side and bringing it to the other side, just that you're, using your thumb, finger to make sure that your hair, please like goes down. So your hair is going down and your thumb, as you can see, is pushing it down and then you're getting another section from the other side. Again, your thumb again pushes it under that's the main difference between the French braid and it and their Dutch braid. The French braid, the hair, goes under the Dutch braid. The hair goes on top, which actually like, as you can see, both of them like one of the grade, is going inside and one of the braid fees outside. So that's just the main difference between the two of them and also again, the Dutch braid. It'S the pointing finger, the French braid, as you can see right now, it's the thumb finger that actually holds the hair too. I hope this is making sense to you guys if you need to watch the video again they'll go on ahead and watch it again. You can practice on yourself a few times or you can actually challenge yourself is every time you wash your hair challenge yourself to try a little place and try and see if you're going to improve over time, because before I couldn't do it, and then I don't Know somehow, I guess for me sometimes in my head things, just click after I've tried them a few times. They finally click and that's what happened with both cornrows cause girl. I could not control for anything like I started doing the French braid, like I think, two years ago and two years later, I can finally do the Dutch braid, but it's from just trying like every now and then and seeing me, but I finally figured it out Or not, I hope this helps you out and you know, makes things easier for you with your natural hair and if you girl, don't forget to leave a thumbs up and also leave a comment down below.

So I'm just finishing up on this French braid and, as you can see, I don't know which one I like better to be honest like right now, I'm so in love with a Dutch braid only because it's so new to me and I'm just excited to do It over and over again just to make sure that I'm not forgetting this skill, but I also really like the French braid, like I like how neat the French braid looks like look at it. I usually find it that it looks much more neater than the Dutch braid. I don't know if it's because the hair is going inside instead of outside, but I like the look better but right now, I'm currently in love with it actually again, because it's a new thing for me, but let me know which one you prefer down below in The comment section, I hope you enjoyed the video - and I hope I see you guys next time on the channel - have a lovely lovely weekend and then with everything, that's going on in the world right now, but hopefully you're taking care of yourself and I hope you're Being healthy and taking care of yourself and your family and washing your hands and all that good stuff I'll see you guys on Wednesday buying
