in the table my hair as I am preparing my hair for my cornrow braid so what you simply want to do when your prating is make sure that you follow the direction that your hair has already set so if I push my hair back here you see that naturally my hair like my ear so you want to make sure that as you part your hair it naturally follows that same curve as well I'm going to use the pick side of the comb and I am going to insert it here closest to my hairline and then I'm going to part and follow that same thickness along the edge where my ear is now a your hair has been parted you are going to use your comb to detangle through your section of hair and then we will take a little bit of hair gel and apply it right in front of our braid to make sure that the hair stays slick we do our cornrow

your hairline so with my hands to simply pinch off a small section from the rest once you do that you going to take the section that's in front closest to your hairline and you are going to divide this hair into three-parts each part serves as the leg your braid to so with your hand your right hand you want to have your three main fingers on your hair which is your index your middle finger in your thumb and then the two other strands are going to be in your left hand the outer strand is going to be in between your index finger and your middle finger and then the middle strand is going to

inserted behind the two strands and put my finger through the middle of those two strands and then I hook this outer strand in my hand and grab a piece of hair from the scalp is now my right hand has two strands down in my left hand has one so now I have to take the index of my left hand insert it into the opening behind the two strands of my index of my left goes behind the two strands in an
