I wore this to work once. It was on flat ironed hair and inspired by youtuber Niasopurdy

This was my version of the southerntease bun also on flat ironed hair

This is an updo I did a while back. The pic doesn't have the best quality, but it's essentially a french roll with the top/middle area left out.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW Ladies!! Great Pics!!! Please keep them coming.
Thanks OP for starting this thread. I have to be honest, I normally wear wigs w/ braids underneath mainly as a PS and secondly b/c of job concerns. After seeing this thread, however, I'm going to have to step my natural style game up so that I can slowly break away from the wig wearing and be comfortable wearing my hair out in my workplace.

Thanks again lady bugs:)
 
My hair is not its natural "texture" in this pic but it WAS natural (no relaxer or anything) so HOPE this counts, not sure if u just meant in natural texture :look:. She jus washed my hair, brushed down the front w/ setting lotion, and did a rollerset w/ the top then took out the rollers and pinned up the curls, so no direct heat except when she blow dried the bottom half straight.

This is prom 3yrs ago so ignore the dress and stuff, jus look at the hair, lol.

So this is a style that can be done but not in the morning, prob the night before and can last a few days. I did it myself another time, didn't look exactly the same but it was still pretty. But its def not a wash n go type of style.It IS natural and formal so... Again, sorry if this isn't what you're talking bout cuz of the rollerset/heat, so nobody kill me!!

My signature style. These were taken in December 2009:
I wore this style on the interview I had for my current job...needless to say, this style did not hinder my being hired :look:. At work, i frequently get complimented by parents and other school staff. And the kids...omg. I have little girls coming up to me gushing over it. One of the little boys in my group (5-year-old, missing front teeth, about 2 feet tall) comes up to me, out of the blue and says "I love ya hair", LOL...made my week.

Oh and and this style is super easy to maintain...one of those styles that when it gets "old" it still looks good, if that makes any sense.
