I'm starting to get ideas for othere PS that I might try after the next install. It all depends on the amount of NG I have at 6 months post, but I'd like to do a cute bun and braid outs
I'd love to see some of the buns the ladies in here are doing.

Posted a bun pic in thread a few mins ago before seeing your msg...here's how I do my buns --Do you have any pix of your buns? I need some new ideas. I did buy a set of those Goody Spin pins, but I haven't used them yet. I think I need to buy some cute little ornaments to make my buns look more creative.
Buns are my signature look these days. I'm not that creative with different types of buns although I square dance with bun placement and change up where I part my hair. I put hair in pony with a knee-hi that's saturated in moisturizer (Scurl) or conditioner (HE LTR split end protector) --just whichever I feel like using -- and fan hair around in a circle and place satin scrunchie on to secure. Knee-hi's are really gentle and don't tug, snag or pull at hair and I like that I can saturate them to keep my hair moisturized where the pony is at. I have flowers that I pin in my hair sometimes (bought from ebay) but I mostly use the satin scrunchies. I use to think I needed hair candy but now that I know how to make my bun look juicy (big), I think it looks good without ornaments....To give the fuller appearance, don't fan bun tightly...fan it loosely, secure with a scrunchie....my scrunchie is stretched out (loose) purposely so as to not shrink down my bun when I place it on. If the scrunchie is too tight, it'll only shrink up your bun size and make it look anorexic(sp). Does that help?

Most people liked my new style. They were all glad I didn't wear my tam . I can't take a decent picture to post but basically what I did was:
Stretch my hair via banding
Braided the back of my hair (I'd say from the ears back) in individual box braids.
Braided the front of my hair in box braids with extensions.
Covered the back of my hair with a durag and a snood.
I think it looks cute. I'm looking forward to the weather changing. I want to wear wigs from November - March. We'll see though. The last time I wore a wig, that thing gave me a headache...

I'm wearing a curly phony pony today.
I'll be ordering some other ponies and a few half wigs this Friday. I was thinking of going to this site:
http://www.especiallyyours.com/Raquel-Half-Wig.html
What sites are you girls using to order ponies and wigs? And are you braiding your hair under the wigs at all?
I can't figure out how to get my natural hair to blend in with the phony ponies. Anyone with suggestions please advise!
A new black owned wig site, http://www.blackhairwigs.net/catalog/Short_Wigs-13-1.html and they are having a sale on all synthetic and human hair short wigs

I'm going to give these a shot. I especially like the idea of saturating the knee hi in a moisturizer. I generally don't use a scrunchie or hair band to secure my hair...but I'm definitely going to try this!
I'm also going to go on Ebay to see what kind of hair pin/ornaments they have.I've been contemplating buying more Good Hair Day pins. They have some really cool looking ones. Right now I'm using these and I LOVE them:
I would love to try these:
What I really like about Good Hair Days pins is that they are so gentle and hair "friendly". They don't pull any hair out at all, and they're pretty secure.
I buy the smaller pins at Sally beauty supply, but they don't offer the other styles. I guess you have to order them from the website:

Especially the second one. But I would have to straighten my hair out to try these because my hair is too curly and thick.
You best believe I will be trying that second one though!

I feel your pain. I wore this wig again today, and I swear it has a beef against me. It's either pinching me in the front...or in the back.
I'm trying to make it work though.Everyone here loved it...except for the lady that services our bathrooms. She said she was going to
if I didn't take that mess off and wear my own head full of hair.JJ, I can't find a good angle that I like. That's why I haven't posted the pic yet.

I like my good days hair pins (Sally's) and my spin pins (Walmart) but my best hair items right now are my knee-hi and satin scrunchie. I find that good days hair pins dig into my scalp after a long day (especially if I don't place them in there right). The spin pins gets no complaints but I find that I can't make my bun big and juicy when using these...I have to twist my bun tight so that the pins holds all the varying lengths of hair tucked in. I don't have these troubles with my scrunchie. When I'm not rocking the knee-hi/scrunchie combo, I'll pony with the knee-hi and fan hair around like the pic I posted except I secure with good days hair pins and then clip a flower to the hair.I'm going to give these a shot. I especially like the idea of saturating the knee hi in a moisturizer. I generally don't use a scrunchie or hair band to secure my hair...but I'm definitely going to try this!

I'm rocking the Southern Tease today with securing with this clip purchased from Sally's --http://www.sallybeauty.com/hair-clips/SBS-292422,default,pd.html?cgid=Hair15. LOVE THEM! They slide right into the hair and doesn't snag my hair while inserting/removing clip. I'm at work and can't post any pics, sorry to tease you - no pun intended.I love these!

I'll try to post some later. The package comes with 2 larger sized and 2 smaller sized clips of pink/black color. I hate that these are the only colors available in-store. I want more of these clips in varying colors. These clips are so comfy and don't give me a headache or dig into my scalp. I will likely post a thread about these when I snap a pic of my hair. Don't want to be thread bashed for not posting a pic showing how I utilize them.

How is the Kolos I was looking at that one too? Shame when you just say the name and I know just what your talking about no googling because i was looking at that one. It's a little longer than Delia and I was torn, I went with Delia now I need to see you with Kolos, I might just budge and get that one to when my funds allow.
BLAIR, I so want to see you with this one, what color did you get? I got a 1b/30
We gals have some great taste

You know I had to go and cut and paste the link right...
I simply couldn't wait until I got home. I'm a PJ before I'm anything else. Now I'm going to have to go and buy these clips! I have a Sally's membership card, and I frequent Wally World on a regular basis. That should tell you just how troubled I am.I'm sooooo itching to try that southern tease bun...seriously.

I order from HairSisters.com, Blackhairspray.com, Claireshair.com (which is hair sisters) RockeyTrading.com (I hope I spelled it right) and Haircloset.com
SOme have better deals than others on certain wigs
If you can find someone to braid or braid yourself, that is an awesome protective style.
^^^^ some links of where to buy in the quote above

People don't understand.
My cousin comes over yesterday (my hubby asked the same question) I put my gina on to show
"why do you need that when your hair is like 1-2 inches shorter you could rock your own hair" MY response, my hair is frizzy, if I wore my hair like this it would puff up as soon as humidity hit it, second, I could smack my lace front on and bam my hair is done, third or fourth I am in the HYH challenge so I have to keep it up
ALL and all it was just to show her but my hair is great in certain weather otherwise it is a puff ball
