Please Share Pics of Your Protective Styles Here

last pic. This is my first time doing this since I was little. The girl who did it got it flat enough where I can wear my wigs w/o any issues.

Oh now I see it in this pic, it's the light reflection, it looks metallic NijaG how long will it last? I was think of doing that in the near future but don't want to take all day doing it to last less than a week

It took the girl abt hour and half max. As for how long it last, I remember as a kid, we use to do our hair weekly as our norm routine. I know it can last longer if handled properly. I'm trying for minimum of 10 days. If it last longer all the better.
 
Havana Twists for me!

Can't figure out why the pics upload sideways.

They look great! Did u have to put rubber bands on the ends to keep them from unraveling?


Sorry it took me so long to respond:blush: using @ before typing a name lets the person know she was mentioned.**not sure if you knew :)

No, I didn't use rubberbands, my hair is pretty kinky so it stays in place then I just bunched it all together with the flexi8
 
How you keep hair from unraveling @MizzBFly

Sorry it took so long to respond :sad: I never got your mention in my inbox.... hmmm weird:ohwell:

My hair is so kinky(texlaxed) that it just holds, plus using the perm rods would add security.

OAN..I just informed someone to use @ when asking a question to someone and look what happened:blush: ironic......
 
Basic ponytail clipped up so ends don't rub my shirt.

Boom. Simple protective style for the style impaired like myself. Lol

So this is my second time trying crochet braids. Pretty easy to maintain. Braiding pattern and finished product. I used freetress brook curl in 1b and 1b/30



I don't know why my pics are turned around all crazy. Pardon my iphone

For awhile I was doing plaits and braids. Now my protective styling is wigs until December when I do a press (first time this year) and length check for BSL:grin:.

Will be installing Crochet Braids ala bajandoc86 in the next few weeks. Been waiting on pic or vid tutorial, stalking her blog :lol:. I'm more of a visual learner, so I just need a better visual of the cornrow pattern and amount of leave out.

ShyIntellect I know :nono: I actually bought the braids and I have my cam set up to shoot….but the last couple weeks been kicking my BUTT with exams and on call duties at the hospital. I finally managed to get next weekend off, so I'll be shooting the vid then.
