Buns:
Low-After a twist out, the hair is tangled and bunched up and remains that way for a good 3 weeks. I just don't wanna be bothered with it. I'll spray with water or throw some Vo5 on it to get it to lay down more. I haven't washed, DCed and did a bun in a while. Buns seem to be a secondary style these days. I try to pull the hair completely through the scrunchi but a few times I fail, it happens. The best is to braid the ends and pin them.
High-a high bun works better for the shape of my head so I'll move it up sometimes. But probably not after a knotted and tangled twist out because the hair is puffy in the crown area. I'd have to wet it to get it to lay down. I don't like wet hair.
Crochet:
This year I kept in some crochet braids for about 6 weeks I believe?
Twists:
I don't refresh them as often as I did when I first started caring for my hair. I use to wash, DC and re twist every week. Now, I might twist and leave it be for weeks on end before I wash and DC again. I'll try to do it more often because it helped with moisture retention and avoiding SSKs. Sometimes I'll do a combo of twists in front and bun in back.
Twist and tuck:
I just started doing this style this year. Twist the sides because I can't flat twist and pin up the back. Twist and tuck the twists is another style within a style.
None of these styles are cute at all! Im very blah and all my hairstyles stay on this head for days. On accession I'll go to a salon for a flat twist style or updo. I'll try and post my styles but they are so boring or not cute that they simply won't inspire anyone lol!
Here are some examples of pics I found in my phone through out the year. A pin up twist out, a regular bun, a high bun with kid kapri in the background, a horrible twist out (the one with the black hair scarfing the front, chunky twists with DC in them which I'd just pin back to form a bun. That's mostly my year.....
