I'm in desperate need of EASY protective style ideas for natural hair!

[HeatherJo]

I'm now one month into my fall/winter Hide My Hair Challenge... so far so good. Here's my video showing how I did my last style: http://youtu.be/xb_rkBV7WL0

But I just realized that I'm completely out of protective style ideas and I need your help!!! For my challenge I have to keep my hair in twists, braids or a mixture of the two. This way its easy for me to take better care of my ends and stick to a low manipulation regimen.

If any of you have any ideas please, please, please send some my way. PICS ARE A MUST! Thanks for your help.

i've worn a variation of the first one in which i take one side of those jumbo twist and sweep it to the other side, thereby covering the center part. I make one roll, gathering all the twists into one roll.

Pics are in my tut.
