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....

For example: 1. Hair texture: People with fine or brittle hair may be more susceptible to split ends due to the hair's inherent weakness. 2. Hair porosity: Hair with low porosity may have a harder time absorbing moisture, leading to dryness and split ends. 3. Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft. However, it's important to note that genetics is not the sole caus
