A few (you all know how many) years ago I had to have my hair in corn rows. It took two women (one on each side of my head) 4-1/2 hours to braid my hair into 86 braids.It was soooo much fun. I could go out on a windy day without any thought of hair problems. No hair across the face, in the mouth, or eyes. I could go swimming without choking myself of getting tangled up in my hair.There was only one small problem - taking out the braids. I couldn't do it, so the job was attacked with gusto by my Mom. It took her longer to take out the braids and it did to put them in - much longer.She had a small comb with a pick on the end - and that's what she used. She picked my hair out of the braids. She finally finished in the wee hours of the morning and when I looked at myself in the mirror I screamed. I no longer had straight hair - I had a bush on my head. I wanted to crawl in a hole and stay there. You've all heard sleeping with a braid will make your hair wavy, don't do it with 86 of them!We couldn't figure out how to make my hair straight again, so I got in the shower and washed out the bush. It worked.Maybe the same thing can help the lady with the beehive - any suggestions?Concerned,Debbie

Hi Debbie,Yes..you are right. This definitely could help with the beehive look.I had a friend who had cornrows..ala Bo Derek...and she got headaches from the braids. Did you have that as well?I can not believe that you sat still for 4 1/2 hours. I would have been going bonkers. :-)Now here is the question....do you have any photos you would like to share of your Bo look? I would love to see them.Best wishes,Karen> A few (you all know how many) years ago I had to have> my hair in corn rows.

Hi Debbie,Did you have to wash the braids differently? Will you ever do that again? I have always wanted to but never had the patience. :-)I hope you find the photos. That would be great. :-)Best wishes,Karen> Hi Karen,> I didn't get headaches - but I'm so used to washing my> hair, it was really strange washing the braids.
