My "retro up-do" with pics

[fwilliams]

I was actually going for the Janelle Monae look, but my hair isn't long enough, so I had to get creative. The night before I french braided the back... as you can see my hair is SUPER thick so this took FOR-EV-ER and then I flat twisted the front, tied it down with a silk scarf, fluffed and thought I was cute..lol.

Is this kind of sort of halfway a Protective Style since MOST of the hair is in the french braid? I feel like I can rock this for a few days, just redoing the front. Let me know, you gals are so intelligent! Thanks in advance...LHCF has been a lifesaver!

The braid isn't perfect, but my hurting arms said it was so...

Very pretty! I love the thickness of that braid.

That looks really cute! I would consider it a protective style, it is not rubbing uo against anything

 

[♦K.O♦]

I agree with belldandy, it is (IMO) a full protective style.

 

[Iamhim]

That's really cute. I wish I could french braid. I would consider it a protective style.

That's really gorgeous! I did a bantu knot set that was reminiscent of Salt N' Pepa in the old days lol.

 

[fwilliams]

yay!...a protective style I can do... My hair is layered so I looked like I had wings by the end of the day with a bun and I can't stand to sit for braids anymore.
