Natural air too short for a ponytail.. I'm bored:TWA'ish ladies, help me!

[PeanutButterandHoney]

Okay, so I have TENS of headbands (in all colors, shapes, etc), so I have been wearing twisouts and wash-n-gos. My sides are short, so I usually wear those styles in a puff pulled back.

i'm bored.
I have done two strand twists, as well as a two strand twist pin up, so Im looked for new styles for TWA'ish ladies!

help me

Or get a phony puff and use it to give you a bigger puff?

Or headwrap/scarf? Hats?

This was a phony puff and headwrap/scarf combo:

I can't see the pic (work blocked sites)

I wear a headwrap/scar daily.

I wear hats too...

I am kind of against weaves.. I have this "thing" about them. So I won't wear a weave.

I am tired of the puff look too.

Thank you Noni

is your hair long enough for rollers? you could set hair with small snap cover rollers.

 

[PeanutButterandHoney]

Yeah.. It is.. but I'm a 4b.... lol

I'm about to get some box braids and I have also been wearing half wigs. Other than that I am out of suggestions (hence me gettikng braids to get over it).

 

[PeanutButterandHoney]

That's a good idea Round eyed.

Just looking for some innovative ways to wear my natural hair ya know?

Curlformers work on 4B hair. oke: And that's without heat. I loved the results my mom got on her shorter hair than those I got on my longer hair.

My hair broke the curl rod!! LOL. Needless to say, I didn't like the look of them on my hair...

I feel kind of screwed.

Another thing that I like, and forgot to mention, is straw sets on natural hair. It's time consuming though, but I love the results!

Got any good tutorials?

 

[RoundEyedGirl504]

I have been doing them on myself so long that I just have it down, but I will check when I get home since YT is blocked at work. It's very similar to how people do the flexi rods except you pin them at the base instead of twists the roller.

 

[PeanutButterandHoney]

Thank you!!!

 

[PPGbubbles]

I suggest straw sets also... I did this when I first chopped... it was a nice short look
I followed this tutorial on YT its a 2 part but its pretty thorough:

Sorry I am not a bit picture taker but I have around the same length as you. I do a lot of pinned up styles using decorative pins to create updo looking hair styles. I use old braidouts and twistouts pinned up especially when I have somewhere formal to go and want to feel special.

I have a lot of things like this

and kinda like this, which I hide ends with.

I am also trying to recreate this look for a wedding next month as I am wearing a vintagy looking dress. I think its is roller sets pinned up.

Does your hair slick down easily with gel, even though my hair is 4a/b its really fine so I can use gel and scarf to lay it down and create the josephine bakerish looks with a few mandatory pins of course

Seriously, your styles are only limited by the time you have on your hands, I don't have that much time so make an effort with styling every other week or so, the rest of the time its the faithful twist outs.

I don't know if you can see my avatar but I put some flat twists on the sides of my head and set the remaining hair wet two strand twisted with my lock loops. After is was dry I took out the loops and undid the twists. It was a cute twa style.
