Here's my protective style all winter

Three weeks in as of tomorrow. Mini box braids

Chunky flat twists with ends pinned in.

These and two strand twists are the easiests styles for me and help to prevent a magnitude of tangles! My hair tangles VERY easily .

That is cute. How long is your hair?

In this picture it was probably around BSL but I cut my hair a few days ago to APL-ish as I was experiencing some "hair issues" including postpartum shedding and the ends of my hair didn't look great. No biggy though! I've gone from relaxed SL to relaxed WL to natural SL then (natural) MBL to (natural) APL .

I didn't do it myself. Thanks! Went to a place out in Far Rockaway NY. It's some kind of marley hair. I was trying to look at the package but couldn't see the brand name.

Just installed 2-strand twists and pulled them into a single french braid with the ends tucked.

Short sew in I will keep in for 8 weeks.

Had the help of a cousin braid my hair into a beehive.
I did the sew in myself, opted out giving salon $160.

Watched a ton of YouTube videos to get an idea how to go about doing this.
I did ok for a rookie I think.

Thank you! It took me two days to complete it.
Have a toddler and a 8 month old I entertain throughout the days.

Someone shared in the long "Random Hair Thought/Thinking" thread a video of hair banding via elastic ribbon, like the kind I purchased from Hobby Lobby.

I love that method! It's basically a chunky African threading. It's much better than creating circular bands with the ribbon. This way, you just band your hair and create a little tie /knot at the end.

Wow your twists are so perfect! Not a hair out of place. Are they long our shoulder length?

They are a little past shoulder length. They're crochet twists

I had no choice but to wig it today. Someone was 2 hours late, and I had saved half my wash day for this morning. My hair is underneath the wig with APB Soufflé DC under CurlyProverbz DIY Hair Growth Oil.

Here are my mini-twists that I will wear for the next 3 weeks.
