Master Cornrows & Braiding: 1-Day Foundation Course

This isn't about watching us work. You spend the full 8 hours on a textured hair mannequin, doing repetitive drills until your hands memorize the grip and tension for perfect sectioning. We make sure you walk out with the muscle memory for cornrows and feed-in techniques, plus a kit with your own tail comb, clips, and braiding jam to practice at home.

What to expect in the Braid Army

We are tired of boring classrooms and formal lectures. If you want to learn, you need to get your hands dirty. Our Cornrows Level 1 workshop is a 1-day deep dive into the technical side of braiding, designed to take you from 'no idea' to 'practiced hands.'

The Curriculum

• Geometric Sectioning: We teach you how to map out 'Diagonal Back' patterns and parting for clean, professional lines.
• Grip and Tension: Braiding is 90 percent hand positioning. You will practice drills to master the grip that creates neat, long-lasting scalp braids without painful tension.
• Feed-in Techniques: Learn how to add synthetic hair and yarn correctly for that seamless transition and volume.
• Scalp Care: We cover the right usage of holding jams and gels so you do not compromise hair health.

Why train with Zido?

We are not just teaching you to braid; we are building a community. You get the 'Zido Edge,' our focus on actual muscle memory over theory. We talk about the history of Afro-textured hair and the specific care it requires, so you are learning with respect for the craft. You will be working with a textured hair mannequin for the whole day, and you get our full attention for feedback on every section and every twist. Bring your energy and your focus. Leave the rest to us.
