I'm not sure the length of my hair in these pics 'becuz I never measured prior to LHCF. I'm gonna guess mid-length stretched out.
This is just your basic 'fro with a scarf headband with bangs. Low impact:
This is a twistout with a headband. Moderate impact:
Lastly, I had straightened my hair a few days before and this was the result after the humidity got to it. I just threw on a headband. Moderate:

Medium length, Low Impact
Wet hair in shower, slick back with holding gel, part a small piece off in the front. Two-strand twist the front and let it sit while you get dressed. Unravel before walking out the door.
Short Hair, Medium Impact
Two strand twists done on wet hair.
Medium length, Medium Impact
Flat twisted into a pony tail. Two two-strand twists in the front
Done on damp hair.
Shortish Hair, Medium Impact
Front is cornrowed back into a bun, back is two-strand twisted
Short Hair, Moderate Impact
The tricky part is getting straight parts
The hair is cornrowed from left to right and they turn into two-strand twists. There is room left on the side for loose two-strand twists. A 'Bang" is created on top with two-strand twists

this is like hair porn.
All of these were done on hair that's approximately 7-9 inches
And took probably 3-5 hrs. Except the first which took about 15 mins. It's a french braid from ear to nape and the rest loose hair. The last pics is a bantu knot out
All pics are on heat damaged hair.
And there's much more sans damaged hair in my fotki

The above is the way i wear my hair everyday. Two strand twists with a side part and twist bangs. My hair is short, 4 to 6 inches in length.
I twist once a month, WET, with infusium 23 diluted with water and garnier fructis sleek leave in cream. I wash only once a month. It takes maybe 5-6 hours, including any breaks, to twist my whole head (The primary reason i only twist once a month). The good thing is that for the most part the older the style gets the better it looks. I can work out in it, get rained on, rinse and the style 'll still look good. Very low maintenance. At night i tie the twists down with a scarf. In the morning i spritz my hair with water and tousle/shake my hair, and voila....sometimes ill add some carrot oil to the twists as well.
At the two week mark i sometimes rinse my twists, sometimes dont.
Also, at the two week mark, i retwist only the twists around the side part, since those are the twists where the roots are visible (by the two week mark the twists around that area could use freshening up).
About once a week or every 10 days i cleanse my scalp with a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel.

I stay in twisted styles. Hopefully, this will be an encouragement to others who don't like to take a long time on their hair. Mostly, I twist or twist-out and call it a day. Here goes....(so nervous...)
Medium-defined twistout. Impact - medium. Length, 5 inches. Styled by twisting damp, detangled hair with a shea butter base and IC gel. Style at night and air dry. No cone leave-ins. Lightly finger fluff.
Back:
Front (in traditional headband):
I am on the right. Re-twist every night...takes about 20 minutes to re-twist, and lasts until next wash.
Braidout, ends rolled under. Length: about 4.5 inches. High impact: took 2 hours to part, shea butter, gel, and braid. Used about 30 braids. Again...use no cone leave ins.
Side view of style...but not on the same day or with the same technique. The actual technique mentioned came out well. This did not, and I looked crazy to myself...but you can get a good idea of how pretty it might have been if I had NOT co-washed...Front twisted and clipped in place. Lasts 2 days quite well, and 4-5 days if you spritz and scrunch for a slowly altered style.
Puff. Length: 5 inches Impact: low. After washing, 2 minutes to style. I washed and then conditioned with Rusk Smoother and left it in. Shea butter as a moisturizer too....
That's all I have until my hair gets longer and I gain a teeny tiny bit more creativity.
HHG to us all!!!

Your regimen sounds EXACTLY like mine when I was natural, it's sooooo easy. I would twist once per month and if needed I would clean my scalp with seabreeze sensistive skin formula. I can't wait until I can get back to that carefree hair routine. And like you said it's a work/rain friendly hairstyle, lol. And an added bonus was that I got to BSL in 2 years from my BC. I wish I had pics to show you cause you are my hair twin/cousin from the look of your hair in your siggy cause I can't view the pic you posted of your twists, I wish I could see that.

You met Lisa McClendon, so did I when she played in London!
And I think this is the first time I've seen your hair, thanks for posting!
