My cousin (shes the one who braids my hair) tells me that since my hair is in cornrows that all the hair that I naturally lose everyday stays on my head and then all the hair from those 2-3 weeks falls out at the same time when I take out my braids. But I`m looking for some advice from some other people. Someone tell me if I should stop getting cornrows or is my worrying unnecessary.
