Creating partlines 

Creating a partlines is important part of braiding. Changing the shape of the partings you can create incredible cornrow hairstyles! In this easy hair tutorial I show to you how to braid side cornrows. When you part the hair, you need stable hand. I suggest you make the parting with determined hand, not slowly and carefully. But you can always fix the partline afterwards - it doesn't need to be perfect with one stroke!

Dutch braid, how to braid cornrows

Take a small section of hair and separate it in three equal sections. Beginning to bring hair strands from side under to the middle. Add hair to the braid from both sides of the braid. Focus to hold the hair strand you are moving, tightly between two fingers. I use thumb-fore finger and thumb-middle finger holdings.Notice that YOU DON'T NEED
to hold all strands tightly! I hold the strands on sides with my ring finger and little finger, so they are easier to pick up when I need to use them. In theory you can let them go 100% if you want and it doesn't effect how tight your braid will be IF you tight the strand you're going to move before you start to moving it. The strand you moving MUST be tight and that settle how tight your braid will be.

HAIR TIPS:

If you're struggling with part lines, I suggest you to try wet your hair before parting. In that way the most smallest strands won't escape from your fingers so easily.

Braiding technique (how you hold the strands) is easier with bigger strands at first. But once you learn to hold strands you can braid using one hair at time without any problem! At the beginning the braiding is easier when you can see / feel the strand in your fingers.

Search the holding that works for you! Keeping the strands in fist doesn't usually work as you cannot keep them tight enough in that way! 

Beginning the braiding from top of the head and move downwards. In this way you cannot poking the braids all the time.

THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS

Braid is too loose.

Focus to hold strand you are moving tighter. Notice that before every move you need to pull hairstrand tight again!

Hair stick out between the stitches

Sometimes the hair quality is kind of that the hair doesn't naturally turn inside of the braid, instead of the braid looks like hairy worm! In this case twisting the hair strand works almost every time. So twist the hair to inwards before bringing the hair strand under to the middle.

Braid is bigger / smaller than I expect

The size of the braid you can change the best to make smaller / bigger partlines. In fine hair is very hard to make big cornrows without using hair extensions or without pancaking the braid. If you pancake the braid, it won't be tight anymore and it won't last as long as it would without pancaking.
