I can't cornrow. As much as it pains me to admit that, I've never really been able to do it on myself. When I "dummy" on other people, I can get some kind of sad looking braids in and people tell me all I have to do is practice, but who has the time for that? Plus I get frustrated really quickly any time something doesn't come easily to me. I know, that makes me sound like a brat. And maybe I am. So be it. lol :-P
But not knowing how to do something that's viewed as a basic skill for most women in the Black community makes me feel bad. It's honestly a source of insecurity for me and I hate that. I think I'm going to watch some YT tutorials and see if that will help me.... But honestly, I know what my problem with it is: I don't know how to hold the hair/how to position my hands. As I'm trying to cornrow, the way I hold the hair constantly changes because I don't have the muscle memory necessary to perform the motion with any fluidity. :'(
Oh well, hopefully YT will help me to get it some day.
