  • Start off by sectioning out the top Mohawk area - Stopping at the base of the crown and then section away the remainder of the hair.

  • After finishing texturizing - Start on one side and use the STITCH by Daniel Roldan to start off with small sections and create a basket weave across the top. 

 

Basket Weave Hair Style

 

  •     To create the basket weave: Comb mohawk parting from hairline to the back (almost like you’re creating a ponytail, leave a diagonal section out on one side ( I chose the left ) this section is what you’ll use as your weaving hair. 

 

Using the STITCH to Basket Weave a Hairstyle

  •    Leave out a side section on each side where you will be braiding later on. 

 

  •      Pull each (weaving hair) section through the loop of the STITCH, then use STITCH like a needle and begin to basket weave one direction, and then pull the hair back through in the other direction. (For Example - if you started your first weave over-under-over, the next weave is under-over-under and so on. 

 

  • Once you are finished with the basket weave, I used the sections I previously left out and corn rowed them on each side. Spitting the section into 2 braids. The top braid used the hair left over from the basket weave.
