My crochet braids... Pic in the purple top was when it was just finished. Pic in blue top was how it looked after the first co-wash

Does this hair come on a weft? Can I use it as a sew in? Where can I find this hair... This is awesome lol

AXtremeTakeover here are a couple of links to the many yt videos that I watched before attempting this style. Mine isn't as detailed as these are b/c I didn't use as much hair as they used and they both did bangs.

me!!! over here! Big forehead and cheeks must be covered lol @Monaleezza

High Five girl!!! SummerSolstice There has to be some protective style where my round face isn't exposed like the moon!!

I hear about girls on the site talking about being obsessed with PSing and I'm the complete opposite. PSing is like punishment.

I'm trying, but girl needs something to detract from the moonface! lol

AXtremeTakeover no unfortunately it doesn't come in weft, it's afro kinky bulk. I bought mine in the UK.

I like your flat-twist style, Allandra
I really need to practice flat-twisting. Mine don't look neat.

Here are just a few of the protective styles I wear regularly - mostly buns. My hair does fine with daily re-styling. The only time I wear a bun for two days is when my hair is in it's curly state. After two days, I co-wash and restyle. Most of these pics are with blowdried or flatironed hair because when my hair is curly I only wear a messy bun. I have pictures of another 30 or so in my profile albums.

Beautiful and creative!!!!

I don't know what it is but I like it. I needed to keep my hair off my neck.

Lucie - are you relaxed or natural?!?

Whatever it is, your hair is beautiful!

Accidental protective style. I took my braids down that I was wearing under my wig and like the waves and started playing around with it and came up with this. I was suppose to wash it but I will just rock it for now.

 

[UGQueen]

here's a protective style that i tried on myself. i found it on youtube but ended up doing my own variation as it was meant for curly hair.

I am about 4 months post in these photos and im pretty sure i had just straightened my hair the day before or something.

I actually didnt intend to get pics to post on here, my bf was playing around with the cam and as i went through them now weeks later so i wanted to share

sorry the pics are hugee

This is my protective style that I wear when I'm working out in the mornings. It saves me a lot of time and is low manipulation.

ETA: I took the pictures while in the LHCF app and they still came out sideways / upside down.

Very cute. How did you do 2 swoops?

Thanks. I just combed out my bang area, parted it on the side and swoooped the two sides behind my ear by brushing the hair forward and then back.

 

[Paris Belle]

Great thread! I'm loving all of the hair styles ladies! Keep up the great work. You are all so inspiring.

ETA - I had to make sure that linking it would work.
So this is my favorite wig of all time, I just made it through two weeks and I messed up the nape area with my flat iron . BUT I think they discontinued this wig, I've been hunting for it online for a decent price for a week.

 

[anoriginalpyt]

My first wig, don't remember the make or the model at all. It's in hair heaven after everyday wear for a month. I've found the bob with a swoop bang style to be best for my face. So, I've done 6 weeks straight of protective styling.
