A simple guide for braiding cornrows:
1 Prepare the Hair: Start with clean, detangled hair. Wash and condition it if needed, then apply a leave-in conditioner or oil (like coconut or argan oil) to keep it moisturized and manageable. Slightly damp hair works best.
2 Section the Hair: Use a rat-tail comb to part your hair into even rows, from your forehead to the nape of your neck. The size of the sections determines the size of your cornrows—smaller sections for thin braids, larger for thicker ones. Secure the sections you’re not working on with clips.
3 Start the Braid: Take the first section at the front (near your forehead). Divide it into three small, even strands. Begin a basic three-strand braid: cross the right strand under the middle strand, then the left strand under the new middle strand.
4 Add Hair as You Go: As you braid, grab a small amount of loose hair from the section beneath and add it to the middle strand before crossing it under. This keeps the braid tight to the scalp. Repeat this process, adding hair each time you cross a strand, working your way down the row.
5 Maintain Tension: Keep the braid firm but not too tight to avoid discomfort or damage. Continue braiding until you reach the nape of your neck or the end of the hair in that section.
6 Finish the Braid: Once you’ve added all the hair from the section, continue with a regular three-strand braid to the ends (if there’s hair left). Secure with a small elastic band if needed.
7 Repeat: Move to the next section and repeat the process until all rows are braided.
8 Final Touches: Smooth any flyaways with edge control gel or a light oil for a polished look. You can also add beads or accessories for style.

How It's Done
1. Prep: Wash, detangle, and stretch your hair (blow-dry or braid it up beforehand if it's curly-this makes parting easier).
2. Parting: Use a comb to create straight lines across the scalp-horizontal is classic, but some do diagonals or zigzag patterns for flair.
Pros might use rubber bands to secure each section.
3. Braiding: Start at the front of each section, braiding tightly back. For feed-in stitch braids, you add tiny bits of extension hair gradually so it looks natural, not bulky at the root. The key is consistency-each braid should look like it's
"stitched" in place.
4. Finish: Seal the ends with hot water (if using synthetic hair) or a light gel/oil for natural hair to keep it sleek.
