How To Do Faux French Braids - Part 2 - Cornrows

http://www.keepmecurly.com - Check out my blog for more fun hair style ideas and natural hair care tips! This is another way to do faux french braids that involves cornrowing each section of hair up into the big braid. It doesn't require the use of any rubber bands. It would be good to watch part 1 of this series to see how I made the parts.

i will say people with coarse hair can have more hairstyles than braids cornrows etc. ive seen some of the videos and in all i saw braids small ones at that which is time consuming . i was gonna say i hope you dont do that all the time. but then i saw you dreaded her hair. i get upset when i see kids with dreaded hair even if their parents are rastas. thats not a decision to make for some1. now if a child grows up n decides they didnt n dont want that they have to cut their hair off.

@msnywoman23 - Actually, this is my daughter V, and she does not have locs, my other daughter B has locs and she was involved in the decision to put them in and she has had them for 3 years now and LOVES them! I also personally know people who have taken out their locs WITHOUT cutting off their hair, so that is a possibility if she ever wants to. Or we can let them grow out a bit without tightening them and then cut them off and she will have short hair for awhile, but hair grows back!

@Katelynylyn

im aware they are ur daughters. just pls for the sake of she, and this goes to all parents who do styles with braids and small ones at that all the time, could you try different hairstyles for her. have you ever thought of flat ironing from time to time, i mean shes not too young for it. and i appreciate you didnt write back anything nasty to me like i kinda was expecting an attitude lol

[Katelynylyn]

@msnywoman23 - lol!  I try not to get defensive, everyone is entitled to their opinions, and ideas, and we can all learn from them! I tried flat ironing, and I just didn't seem to get the hang of it and didn't love the results and felt like I was damaging her hair. But, what I was trying to tell you was that I don't just do braids, or small braids, all the time. I just don't post much about my basic styles because no one needs help with those :)

There's nothing I hate worse than a caucasian person adopting a african american child and not taking care of their hair properly. Let me say my hat goes off to you. You're the bomb if I must say so myself. You are very unique. Keep up the good work and keep your beautiful spirit.

You are doing a wonderful job with your daughter's hair. It looks soft, healthy, and manageable. When I was younger a friend of my mother change the texture of my hair by putting a hot comb in it. My mother was upset with her because even though my hair was not straight it was a beautiful texture. Keep doing what you are doing with your daughter's hair.

A white lady is braiding a black girl's hair... Ive never seen that. Cool!

[msnywoman23]

@1NeoSoulChild

i didn't say flat ironing would be better or worse. i was just under the impression braids is all she does for her childs hair. but she explained she does other things.

[1NeoSoulChild]

@msnywoman23 Tell us again why flat ironing would be better for her ??? Im not understanding why you rather her do such a style on a little kid. Braids are healthy for curly hair.

[MyPerfectFish]

That was very pretty!!! <3

[milesandemilyrock]

that hairstyle is actually called a fishbone braid (i think)
