Hello ladies

i just con washed for the first time ever using "lush" american cream cond , cuz it smells so nice  and it makes my hair feel nice . however i tried to cornrow my wet hair after washing it , i am not sure if this is possible but i couldnt do it anyway . this is my problem , i cant seem to handle wet hair at all  i am so scred of tangles and breakage ...  however i must do something since i am attending a "tea cermony" party  where i would dress up in a kimono and i have no clue what so ever how to make my hair look cute for the kimono ? knowing that i have about 2inches of new growth and the rest are thoes straight relaxed ends ..

could someone suggests anything that i can do to my hair ? i must also add that i an really cluless when it comes to natural hair styling!!!

You could do braidout or twistout.  Go to motowngirl.com, she has a lot of suggestions and instructions for transitional hairstyles.  Hope this helps.

Yes you can do an updo with  20' (that's what your profile says) and I would think braid outs look more define if you start with damp hair and then let it air dry the rest of the way.
