Fro-Hawk

Attention all: I would like to announce to the world my invention of the latest hairstyle craze to hit Haiti... the Fro-Hawk! Part frizzy afro, part classic mohawk, it showcases 80s flair with a modern twist.

This baby's got attitude
But I decided the nannies were likely to be somewhat more conservative than I when it came to innovative hairstyles, so I had a go at a more mainstream look. Here's a pic of my very first braiding job in Haiti! (note: I'd only done the middle row here). The nannies redid it later that day I think (oh well), but to be fair they did a much better job than me :)
