i have a few one is semi bun related lol...try a side bun thats lower next to your right ear. thats sexy and can go from day to night. just gather all of your hair to one ear and wrap the hair around a side ponytail or twist it and then keep it in place with a band/scrunchy etc.,
braids work as well and are easy depending upon your hair length this may or may not look good to you. just grab and section different parts of your hair and braid up..
im trying to think what i do for myself lol..thats all i got for now but ill come up with more! lol

Thanks Meia! I fogot about my classic french braids! I will add it back to my regimen!*Dee* said:it's not very creative, but how about pulling in up in a claw clip? I've started doing this because regular buns where just killing me! (style wiseerplexed )
Dee, Thanks for suggesting the claw clips! I like that idea! Simply and easy! What brands do you buy? I need a good durable clip! TIA~

naijaqueen- im so happy that you like the hairstyle! Its easy to do and you can very easily add oil or moisturizer and let it do its thing all day. It definitely makes you feel less nervous about hair as well and i used to put my hair in a regular bun ALL THE TIME...its boring as anything after a while!!
lovechic-Awww no problem girl! When you get bored with your hair going back to the "classics" always help until you find something that makes you satisfied..below is a post that i made on another thread...telll me if this helps!
some of these styles are a little OT but they help a lot for protecting the hair and might be kinda hard for relaxed hair but i think it'll work fine with a few updates! lol..this was a post i made on a natural and transitioning thread..ENJOY!! let me know how it goes!
-you could do regular old braids/ plaits that dont require weave or anything that you can do yourself at home if you like..I do it ALL the time because it helps me get the product to the roots and really moistuize. They also look cute if you do smaller ones and very beautiful. If you need help on this style just ask and id be glad to type up the directions!! itll be easier to keep the scalp moisturized and your hair is the perfect length for it! You can keep it like that or unbraid it (a braid out) to have beautiful twists left..
-two strand twists are beautiful!!! and when you take them out they leave those beautiful twists after! take two smaller or larger sections of hair and twist together.. i usually put something at the bottom to anchor the twist until it sets a bit..try using a ouchless rubber band. once it sets you can wear it out yourself or wrap it up until you want to wear it out!
Here are specific instructions for two strand twists if the above directions werent clear for you cos i know i be mixin things up and everything! lol heres the website for this: http://www.naani.com/index.html?lan...target=d81.html
Two-strands are a very popular option amongst those with natural hair. This look can be achieved with at least 3 inches of hair. Two-strands are similar to braids except that two strands of hair are used instead of three, hence the name. This style can be done without the aid of a stylist and can last from 2-4 weeks; any longer and you will be encouraging the hair to loc.
For this look you will need a fine-tooth comb and non-alcoholic styling gel (optional) to keep the hair from unraveling. Two-strands can be done wet or dry. If you're beginning directly after conditioning your hair, be sure to towel dry to remove excess water.
Part the hair with a comb or your fingers (the comb will produce neater parts whereas sectioning the hair with your fingers will produce a more fuller look). The size of the parted sections can be as big or as small as you desire.
Take the parted section and add a small bit of gel to the hair (if desired). Separate the hairs into two strands. Begin to plait the hair downward while pulling gently to ensure a tight formation. When done properly, the two-strands should resemble a rope.
To preserve the style, sleep with a satin scarf. If you find that your twists look flat after having slept on them, simply mist the hair with water and style as usual. If they occasionally look dry, using oil sheen/spray will help.
-Regular updo..just take a ponytailer or something to hold the hair up and then fasten it up. Tease the ends so the ponytail looks fuller and kinda fluffly and wild.
-2 two strand twists and an updo/bun- do 2 two strand twists and pin to one side. Complete the look with either a side bun, a regular bun, or an updo...its easy and very decorative and doesnt require much to the actual style.
-2 strand twists updo- sounds like the same as the above...you do regular two strand twists and the put it into an updo so the twists peak out the high pony tail!
-Pin curls- take semi wet hair and then twist sections up and pin it up. Some people leave it like this in little twist form for easy hair but you can take it down and have soft beautiful moisturized waves yourself!
-headwraps: ive gotten into hair wraps lately because they look so sophisticated and beautiful. I have many site links I can give out if you or anyone else is interested just let me know and ill post it in this thread..

Ponytail....plait up the ends....hold up the plait....put mango butter (or whatever you use) on the ends...hold up the ponytail and depending on how long your hair is, tuck in the ends and clip up the ponytail off your shoulders.
You can put in a little parting at the side or comb it all back but this works well as a protective style too.
This works well for me.
