What protective style works for you?

oh! I wasn't even looking there, I thought that was something else (angle I was looking at). Thanks!

Protective style....what's that?

Just kidding I have not been doing any for a while now, but I think I'm going to get braids on and off until my graduation in December...I'm trying to really step up this growing and accumulation of length for the big day!

you can see my favorite protective style in my photo gallery.

It's a series of cornrows braided straight back and the ends are in a baggie with oil (not a lot) and then covered with a scarf

I usually wear mine all back twisted and pinned under. How is a braid out a protective style? Aren't the ends exposed with that?

Bun donut successful!
I purchased 1 from sally's and i'm LUVIN IT! I bought a relatively thin one because I don't have enough hair to wrap around a larger ones. I didn't think I was gonna have enough hair at all, but even though I can't do it myself (I gotta get my mum to do it

), I finally got it to work

Now I just gotta get some silk/satin fabric from walmart to cover it with. Does anybody know how much a little of that would cost approximatly?

Bump!

Buns & Phony Ponies.

 

[karezone]

None of them. All of them resulted in breakage.

Thanks for bumping this one, it's a good thread.

sew in weaves

 

[karezone]

what kind of hair do you use for your weaves? And how much do you pay?

Hey fellow North Carolinian! I have to say it really depends on what you use and how you use it. I like to use buns, ponytails, braids and sew-ins. I have always maintain growth with these. The pony tails I have to be cautious with because of the string though.


BTW. has anyone seen the ones with the ribbons? Do you know where I might find one? I have been trying to fogure out a way to cover the drawstring. Happy growing and happy Friday y'all!

Simple pin-up with a claw clamp works for me
