Naturals & Texlaxers can I wash my hair...

in cornrows? I am just worried that it will get tangled/matted cause I don't plan on taking them down before, during or after my dc and co-wash. Just gonna co-wash my scalp and let it air dry. Am I heading for trouble and a BC?

unless you're planning to do it every day... i think you'll be alright. i wash my hair in cornrows and i was fine. the more you do it though, the faster they fuzz and loosen. so... like i said... i wouldn't make it an every day thing. once a week worked fine for me, kept my cornrows in for 3-4 weeks. HTH

how bout if they are the "I did 'em myself didn't cost me nothing and I wear under a wig anyway cornrows"? Can I wash them on my normal 3-4 days a week and let out on the last wash day?

Its all about how neat you want them to look, and for how long. They will get fuzzy when you wash them. I wash mine once a week, but I spray with a moisturizing mix, and braid sheen daily. BT and baggy at night. So by the time I wash it at the end of the week its very fuzzy.

But if you're wearing them under your wig, and its not a big deal if they aren't looking the neatest, then it should be fine.
