3 Curly Hairstyles | How To Cornrow Braid Quick & Easy Hairstyles For Short/Medium Natural Hair

Hey everyone. So today I was inspired by T amore from the real TV show to do this. Three-In-One hairstyles for natural curly, hair girls, and I also want to show you guys how you could spice up your cornrows and how to do French, cornrow braids. So I'm starting off with stretched hair and get into the way that my hair has grown. I'M getting a little lit here, so I normally would go ahead and just keep it curly. But I don't know what I was thinking today. So I'm just gon na put some water into it and then make it curl back up, I'm using the Carol's Daughter, black, vanilla, curl cream conditioner, because you always want to have some moisture in your hair. Before you manipulate it, you never want to manipulate dry, crusty hair and that's what I had so I'm just starting the two braids first on this side. But I want to make sure that my hair is nicely moisturized and wet and just has a lot of slip to it, so that I won't get any knots that you'll see later in this video, unfortunately mm-hmm so yeah. I do have curly hair tutorials, but yeah. You can tell my hair looks healthier when I have it moisturized, so I'm making the first part and I'm using my favorite shine and jam from a place, that's manufactured in Memphis actually and they give proceeds to st. Jude. This is the shine and jam. It'S like a basically a jam, so I use this for my braids. It'S actually by AM Pro that's the name of the company. It was only like 550, so it's really cheap for that nice little tub and it's toxic free. That'S why I use it and how ironic is it that they actually send proceeds to st. Jude, which is in Memphis it's one of the best cancer hospitals. So I just thought that was really cool, but anyway, I'm just putting that all along. Like the like. The edges of my hair and where I'm going to braid and I'm making sure that I have detangled each section thoroughly and have brushed it out so that I could avoid tangles, which inevitably, I ended up creating later on. But this is just the tutorial on how to French braid or how to do scalp cornrow braids. So I take the first section and I separate it from the others that I'm going to catch on to later. I take both of my fingers and I kind of hold two pieces with those two and then take that third piece and just go under it as if you're creating a plat. If you know how to plat hair - and you should just - you should probably know how to do this as well, it's really the same pattern you're just going over and under, and you can see now, I'm just gripping a little bit more hair on the sides and Then I'm making sure that each three of the sections are even and I'm just going backwards. That'S all I'm doing making a plat first and then catching on hair as I go back and making sure that I'm not catching other hair from other sections. But it's really simple comment below if I need to make a more detailed how to braid hair tutorial. But I did get some requests for my last video of my ten curly hair styles. So I'm still going over and under and I'm making sure that I'm like detangling all the way to the ends to avoid breakage and sloppy braid parts baby. Oh my I feel like Tweaker, oh yeah, okay, so back to our original programming. So I just finished the braid like that. I keep the same pattern and voila. If you never switch your sections, then you'll get a perfect braid every time, so I'm just doing braid number two doing the same technique. I also use this jam as like a nice placement. It'S not really gritty, it doesn't get like you know, white. It doesn't have any nasty residue, it just kind of keeps my hair straighten in place so that I can braid it down and it gives it Shane. So I'm going over and under just like, I do a regular plat and then I'm just adding some hairs but make sure you keep each section cuz, it's so hard when you're doing you know, braiding curly, hair cuz, our hair slips so much so make sure you're Keeping each section held tightly you're, not getting it mixed within the next section: okay and so yeah. This is supposed to be a ten-minute hairstyle, but I'm gon na be honest with you. I had to take a break and go part. My hair in the mirror, like old-school style in the bathroom, where you sit on top of your your sink and then you get another mirror and look at the back, because Hong girl is single okay. We don't have anybody in the house to help me, but you know with my hair situation. So that's what took me so long. But honestly, this really is like a good, quick, 10-minute hairstyle, especially if your hair doesn't get dry like mine so quickly. I have very, very, very high, porosity hair. I had to give you guys, like three different octaves there, so you can really feel it in your soul. Like my hair is hella dry, so it kept drying on me. So I had to keep more water and more products, because that's just the reality of my hair, so I'm gon na skip the next two braids get skirt. It'S just too much go at all. I think I'll show you guys a third one and that's about adding how to sleep. My little edges, I'm if you actually sleep your edges as you go. The braid should look really neat as well, but this is. I wanted this to be like a curly pattern. Type hairstyle, I didn't want it to be like bone straight. I wanted my curl pattern to show, so it can look really wavy and I can look like I had a glue her. You know so yeah same technique over and under, and I think you can see a better get a better view with this angle. I'M gon na try to turn to the side for those of you who are still learning how to braid. Now this is just a random side note, but is it just me or just the side braid like the very sides, like the edges? Aren'T these the most sleek cooperative braids ever, but it's like once I get to that. Second braid, like you, see how thick my hair is at the roots on the second braid that I will be starting like and in the middle, even if it were a smaller braid, I feel like it just will not sleek down now. This right here is where I messed up the churches money. I have a tangle in my hair now, because I was sloppy with the way that I was braiding. I did not completely detangle down to each end, so most people would like completely cut their hair off. Not me not, I said the cat or the mouse or whatever else in dr. Seuss's book, because I cannot do that. So I had to literally pull out strands of that little hole and sit there for like a long time. Okay, so yeah do not be like me: okay, make sure you finger detangle down to the ends and make sure that you don't keep switching your sections as you're braiding to the scalp, because you will mess up. Look at my attitude, like my whole attitude and demeanor has changed like I'm so bad right now at this videos, like honestly, it was like 3:00 in the morning I was on FaceTime like yeah. That really hurt my feelings. I Loki had a tear in my eye so but I said, let me get it together for my supporters because I still have to push through so yeah. I guess that's me still, okay, so to wrap up this first style. This edge factor, I'm sorry style factor edge control is the gold it's the best of all time it's new, but it is the best like its Leakes, your hair and placing it last for 24. Whole hours I'm going to create a separate video about this edge control because I wore this stuff on a Saturday and Sunday my edges were still late. Okay, so that's it for the cornrows and then we're gon na just do the style, the first style that Tamara had which it was just kind of just like bunched up in the back. Somehow you know she kind of rigged it up in the back. So I totally forgot to put edge control in the back. I got the little book shots in the back girl like Pam from Martin, but that's cool, I'm just going to break my hair up somehow put some bobby pins and you can jazz it up like that. I totally forgot to use like jewelry. You could put like some little hair jewelry on there like some silver or gold, little gold Clips or whatever. That would make it look really cute or a nice brooch in the back, like a hair, brooch, so yeah. The first look was actually pretty simple. I just had a lot going on yeah, so comment below. If you think I nailed the first look, and so I decided to switch it up a little bit and just change it out, like kind of like a little small bun just to make hair look like it's showing on the sides just to add a little bit More volume at the bottom, so I kind of like that second little look or whatever mm-hmm, and so yes, the edges are sleek like look at them. Oh my gosh! Yes, yes, I pushed through so days later I decided to do another. One of her looks - and I said wow this would be perfect for a braid out. I do have a little residue for my hair because I used some gels and some other things, so I'm using some more hair product - and I just pushed it - pulled it through and put a little water on it and honestly how you can jazz up your French Braids or cornrows just put on some glamorous earrings pop on a nice little lip color or you can just do some and yeah it'll pop. So I'm just undoing half of the braids to give it like a little volume, and I want it to be like a little twist out at the bottom and I'm basically just unraveling a few, an attempt to get the little bun. But I said oh girl. This is a cute style right here for another two or three days, so this is basically like a little twist out. Ponytail situation going on. I could have put some charms on my hair as well like a nice gold clip to make it a little more jazzy but yeah. This was style number two and I said oh wow. This is cute to make more volume. I could do just a little bit more unraveling and so yeah, I just kind of primped it a little bit more unraveled a few more and then the next one is going to be the bun okay. So for the bun, I'm just using a rubber band and I actually could have just kept it like it was with the clips, but I just was afraid of it to you know falling out or something like that. So I just kind of tucked it under and then put some bobby pins in it, instead of putting it in a bun, because I want the twist and um like the crinkles to look uniform like Tamera's hair tomatoes. Curly pattern is actually curly like that. So this is how you finesse another curl pattern and make it look like you know, twist out, bun so comment below, if you think I've nailed. These three simple looks that are glammed for work, business or what-have-you, see you guys in my next video and please thumbs up the video
