How to Braid Cornrows

Using a small toothed comb, separate hair into 8 sections.

Start with one section, gather a small amount of hair and separate it into 3 pieces.

Take the pink (left) strand and cross in UNDERNEATH the blue (middle) strand.

Then take the green (right) strand and cross it under the pink (middle) strand.

Now gather a small section of hair and add it to the blue (left) strand.

Then take the blue strand and cross it underneath the green (middle) strand.

Next, gather a small section of hair and add it to the pink (right) strand.

Now cross it under the blue (middle) strand.

Continue steps 6-9 until you reach a point where there is no more hair left in the section to add into the braid.

Repeat steps 3-12 for all 8 sections.

Another option is to only braid 3 sections and end them early to create a look like this:
