Jo's Thanksgiving Mohawk

It's the day before Thanksgiving and I decided to go with the harvest colors for the big day tomorrow!!! I have been in a mohawk mood, so I decided to incorporate that look on Jo again. It can be a trendy Thanksgiving right?!?!? Lol. Well, I hope you enjoy! Here goes the explanation to her look........... I started Jo's mohawk with the front part of her head sectioned straight across from temple to temple. Rubber band that off and move on! Next, I parted her hair into three sections to the back, leaving the middle section larger than the other two. Following that, I took each section and gave five box braids down each row. After the braids, I pulled them into the middle row of box braids. And then, let the sewing begin! This part requires thin ribbon and a plastic yarn needle. I am going to have to better explain sewing at another time so hopefully these pictures will help. Like last time, I flat ironed her hair to give her mohawk length and flow. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This picture was after the mohawk was set and before I flat ironed her hair. 

The finished look from the front! 

The left side of her head. 

The back of her head. 


The right side of her head. The hair just happened to fall to that side. 

This is the look of her hair that was sewed in. Kinda cool looking huh! Fall colors worked well! I was deciding whether or not to cut the ends of the ribbons or to let hem hang. I really liked them hanging, but you can do it anyway you'd like. I also thought about beading the ribbons, but that's a whole other hair style..... 

This is the detail of her ribbon work.

Happy thanksgiving!   :)
