I will be starting a 4 month personal air drying/protective styling challenge (October 2009 - Jan 2010) and I'm in need of some inspiration, ladies. I have very limited styles at the moment, and I need your ideas for more ideas when I start this October. My two definite styles will be the basic bun and the double bun. I'm not even gonna lie, I will be using some type of heat for my bangs, which I think makes the style complete and feminine enough for me to stick with this. I hate looking and feeling like a dude . I don't plan on growing out my bangs anyway, so I'm fine with using heat ONLY for that!! Help me out ladies!! Show me your pictures and how you achieved the look (aka your technique)!!! :kewlpics: I will start first:

My Double Bun

My Slicked Back Bun

For Both Styles I did the following:

• 
  [*]Washed (Joico Kpak) and Deep Conditioned (AOHSR)
  [*]Towel Dried Using Turbie Twist (30 mins) Until 90% Dry
  [*]Added Keracare Leave in
  [*]Added Avocado Oil and Burt's Bee Pre-Shampoo Treatment
  [*]Brushed out with Denman Brush and styled[/B]

I will also need to spruce it up by adding accessories like follows:

Girl,

I'm telling you.. that's what I use to think. I swear I didn't believe it was possible. I just discovered how to get my hair to get slicked back and behaving nicely. Are you sure you want to give up?

Please, do tell! I really don't want to keep using heat to make it manageable. I don't mind it curly but to achieve the slicked back look you speak of without heat?? SPILL IT!

Flat twisted 9 rows on wet hair. Applied Leave-in and Wrap/Set Mousse to each section before twisting. After each twist I rubbed Elasta QP Mango Butter into the twist (to set and moisturize), then sealed with Coconut Oil. Then put a roller on the end of each twist. Air dried overnight and unravelled the twists.

HTH
