Could you go a whole year With just protective styling?

[tocktick]

Probably not. Even when I was very much into braiding with extensions most of the year, I'd have a copule of weeks without them. Since I couldn't bun then and twists looked bad on me that usually meant I did no "hidden" styles.

Right now I like having my hair out for 1-2 days and then bunning the rest of the time.

I think I could do it 80-90% of the time. I LOOOOVE buns....but my hair length does not make them easy (especially as a type 4 natural with a bigolhead)

Thats my plan for 2010~ I currently keep my hair pinned up when i am out also. I plan to do it till next December and hopefully see incredible results~

Well....We will see in 2010! That is going to be a challenge for me because I just love water on my scalp and co-washes they are AWESOME. Lol! Planning to keep all of my hair hidden until Dec 2010.:bouncegre

Sure could. Once you ger going you get used to it. But to avoid breakage, I would have to let my hair breath & flow freely a week or so here n there.

Funny thing is.... I hid my hair for 7 years wearing wigs and sew-ins. I was natural and didnt know what to do with my hair Soon as I relaxed I thought it would be so hard to protective style again till my last setback. Im now on a personal challenge to stretch as long as I can. Ive been hiding for almost 5 months now and very motivated to go 7 months to a year. My style of choice... braided bun tucked under a wig.

I've gone several years in buns. I didn't know that a bun is a "protective style". I'm quite comfortable with them. I've never been a fan of flashy hairstyles or cuts.

I did it for about 7 months until recently but I still do it now. I usually just go only a few days of wearing my hair out. I use half wigs and braids for my protective styling.

 

[MummysGirl]

No.

I don't wear weaves, wigs, extensions (braids, twists, etc) and I can't bun everyday because of my fine edges plus I'd get bored.

I can go a whole month though I'd do my middle siggy style for 3 weeks and wear my hair in 5 big cornrows or flat twists for the last week.

 

[Swanky]

I am headed that way, protective styling for at least three (3) years.

 

[GreenD]

I probably will/could. It'll be a year of wig wearing in March (with the exception of two weeks of wash and go's). No biggie, since I'm getting spoiled with not having to deal with my hair every day. One year (of wig wearing) max for me.

 

[LovinLea]

nope, i'm the one who flushes $80 down the drain because she can't keep her cornrows that still look good in past week 2

 

[stormy07]

I'm lazy so I've been doing buns for years. Though I go from one bun to two buns and sometimes when I'm sick of buns I'll go to a plait or a single banded ponytail with the ends tucked.

 

[PrincessLinzz]

Not at all.

I need to blow my hair out when I go out for special occasions, which is once every two weeks. Would love to though.
