I'm a newbie, but I've been doing the UPA Pony because my hair is short. I love this protective style because I can workout in it and not worry about it flying off my head! Its so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing it! My ends stay moisturized and safely tucked away for the day.

Braidout's
Twistouts
French rolls and twists
Braids
anything curly that keeps your hair off your neck like rollersets as long as they aren't brushing on your clothing.

There is no board.
French rolls
Phony ponies worn with baggies to protect your hair from rubbing against the inside of the phony pony.
If you hair has nice curls or waves from your braid outs, twist outs, etc you can loosely pin them up. I've never been able to create the same style consistently so this can vary from day to day.

Awww.... Thanks Letitia!
What is a UPA clip, for those of us that are style challenged. Also, how much hair do you need in order to use it. I have neck length hair all around. I can put my hair in a pony tail. I mean, it's not something I like to brag about, but I can squeeze one together. Do you think the clip would work for me?

There is a thread about the UPA clip around here. I will bump it for you.
I am wearing a UPA clip in my avator. It is so easy to use you would love it and you can wear it with your hair lengh.

sistaslick does a cute chinese bun. maybe you can pm her for a pic. i always thought a bun to the side with a flower or without was cute. and up do's are cute also. i wish i was at the length where i could do protective styles.

That's what I do. My hair ins't quite long enough for a bun so I oil the ends, tuck them in and put on my pony.

Bantu knots
Buns
ETA: I agree that styles that conceal the ends are protective.

I agree w/the others who define protective styles as those concealing your ends. Thus, I don't personally consider braidouts, twistouts and bantu knot styles (unless the knots are left in) as protective. For short hair that can't be pulled up for buns or ponytails, I would do wig w/or without baggie underneath. All other lengths, I consider buns, ponytails and also the faux bob that Sisterslick used to do, as protective.
