Please Share Pics of Your Protective Styles Here

Right now I've only got one, working in a gym and working out 4-5 days a week...let's just say keeping it up is a plus! Combine that with the winter temps here...yep, those ends are tucked away.

So I planned to install Marley twists this weekend and ordered two packs of hair which came today but it doesn't look like a lot. This is the first time I'm installing Marley twists and I will be cutting each pack of hair into two. Can anyone who has done this before let me know if this will be enough? The parts will be medium sized. Thanks!

My hair today through the end of February.

Question: Is it new growth or loosening braids after 2 weeks?

I've been taking 10kmg of biotin for 1 week.

hypek, instead of going to bed like I should I'm lurking around seeing what everybody's doing and I stumble on your hairstyle - love it! I just came from another thread and I'm just wantin' to do all the styles I see that I like. I just put mine in a wig protective style (the blue one), cuz my hands just get too busy being in my head. I will just have to wait.

Did you do this yourself?

I was supposed to be going to Busch Gardens tomorrow, so I did a braid and side bun to keep my ends protected.

pattyr5 please, please, tell me how to do this bun
I made that bun on hair that was set on magnetic rollers. I just made a high ponytail and spread the hair as if I was doing a donut bun, but then I brushed the hair in a wrap (doobie) around the base of the ponytail....hope that makes sense, lol

I am completely shocked that this makes sense to me considering how useless I am at styling hair. Lollllllll

I installed some loose twists and wrapped my hair for the night. The next morning I woke up and took off my head tie and kinda liked how my hair looked. It's funny when I try to purposely style my hair it never turns out this good.
 
Did a bantu Knot Out last night .. I think all in all it came out well. I would not part the front again though (if that makes any sense)
