Momolu rocked her 'fro during the fifth season of Project Runway.
Liberian designer Korto Momolu may not have won the grand prize in this season’s “Project Runway,” but as far as her kinks go, she was a winner in our book.
The second-prize winner loves to do different styles with her hair.
“I love cornrows. I grew up doing those on my head for school and I also do it on my daughter’s hair,” Momolu told blogger Ladybrille. “In Little Rock it is actually [illegal] to do African-style hair without a cosmetology [license], which means doing my child’s hair is considered a crime. . . It’s 2008 but I’m fighting this issue. Most [of the] styles I do practice. . . illegal or not are kinky twist, micro braid and tree braids. These are mostly West African hairstyles.”

I thought doing hair is illegal if you charge money without a license.

I hate to be the barer of bad news, but I genuinely don’t think that is her hair. Its a sew-in. I mean, you never saw her styling it. She just rolled out of bed and just left.
