When people are learning how to braid and working on their braiding techniques, a common concern is that they are slow braiders. Of course, if you are only braiding your hair at home for fun, it’s no big deal! You can take your time to give your hair tender loving care or make your braiding session part of your self-care routine. I know I do it sometimes! I enjoy washing my hair and carefully detangling it before braiding it. I play my favorite playlist and watch an episode of a series (or a whole season!), and if I get tired, I get myself a snack.

Cornrow braiding is a timeless and versatile hairstyle that has been cherished for generations. As a professional hair braider, I can tell you that cornrows are one of the most popular hairstyles, so it's important for any aspiring braider to be able to offer this style on their list of services. One thing I've noticed about clients who get cornrows is that they typically come back on a consistent basis to get the style redone. This means that if you learn to do cornrows, you are more likely to succeed at establishing your own consistent clientele.
