This style is a half head designer cornrow pattern. After washing and deep conditioning N.'s hair, I applied Cantu shea butter throughout her hair and parted the front section, pulling the back section in a loose ponytail while working on the front braids. I chose the pattern that I wanted to braid and began with the parting. *It is much easier to create nice , neat looking cornrows when you pay close attention to your parting and make sure that when you are starting a row, that all the extra hair (hair from other sections) are combed and/or pinned neatly out of the way. I applied black beez wax to each section, and combed through the section of hair right before starting the braid. After finishing the cornrows I added a small butterfly clip to the middle top section and finished; N. wanted a few of the photos taken with her head band, and the other views are without:) N. has her Kindergarten graduation tomorrow night and this was the style that we chose, she'll be wearing a cap on her head,so we can't have to many busy hair accessories:)
Wow. As always - you amaze me! I wish Q had that much hair that I could make parts like that! But I just don't think she does. Or that we have the patience (at 22 months old) to sit that long. I think I'm super woman when I get crooked parted box braids in!! LOL
