2 weeks Mohawk Cornrows and I


Before I start talking about my experience so far with my 2-weeks Mohawk style, I want to apologize to all my Blog readers. I have not being updating regular as I use to do. Mainly, I have been putting most of my #NaturalHair correspondence on my Facebook page and YouTube page.  I post on my Facebook a lot and share so much info. However, I still interact on this page. Hopefully, now that summer break is almost over 4 more days...Woohoo... I will have more time to blog.

Okay... what about my cornrows?

The last time,  I had a Mohawk style, it was while I was transitioning:
 

I loved it. I only let one person braid my hair... that is my dear friend, MB. I have very tender head and she knows how to handle my hair. Thanks, girl!  This style only lasted a week because I got the itchies!!

This time, when she was cornrowing my hair, I PROMISED to keep it for at least 2 weeks. Oh boy!

By day 7, the annoying itchiness had started! Argh! This time, I decided to not unbraid and wash. I washed it with my shampoo bar, and then moisturized it with a mixture of water + peppermint + leave in conditioner. I made sure to keep my hair moisturized and my ends sealed with shea butter.  This helped! yeah!! 

Now, on day 12, the FRIZZ attack has taken over, I have just 2 more days to go.. so, I will be rocking the hat.. LOL!
 

On that note....

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3.
