A few weeks ago natural hair guru The Natural Cole held a super fun hands-on event in Dallas teaching ladies how to cornrow and care for their hair.

Naturals know that cornrows aren't just a cute hair do. They're also a great protective style, giving your hair a break from manipulation and styling plus they put less weight on your hair than traditional braids. Cornrows can be worn by themselves, for a chic look, or with clip ins attached. At her event, The Natural Cole demonstrated just that, showing the ladies who attended how to attach their KinkyCurlyYaki clip ins to cornrowed hair.

Personally, I've always been envious of other naturals who can cornrow with ease, tucking and braiding their plaits down like it's nobody's business, while I had to either settle for flat twists or pay someone else to braid it. That's why hands on training events like The Natural Cole's are such a great investment. You learn once and never have to pay again!
