Protective styles

I'm realizing in order to get over that HUGE hurdle of SL to APL I simply can not wear my hair down......ever:look:
This means going to social events (i.e-house parties, "the club") my hair must be up!
Give me some ideas ladies!
TIA!!
 
U should DEFINITELY invest in some half-wigs. Thats what I plan to do thru the winter. I get so tired of buns and feeling un-sexy. And you can bun/braid/baggy under them, so your hair is constantly being conditioned. I don't know why I didnt think of this sooner!
 
I am going through the same thing right now. I usually wear halfwigs but I am trying to find some styles I can do with my hair. I wore my hair out 3 days and now I am back to halfwigs. I did the style in my siggy about 2wks ago which was simple and cute
 
Im thinking about getting a nice curly half wig for the winter... is there a particular brand that looks more natural?
 
My favorite protective styles are loose buns, waterfalls (using the claw clip) and a side bang. I also like to clip in color to jazz things up a bit! :yep:

Will I get in trouble with the AKAs since I'm unaffiliated? :sekret:

I am seriously PSn to get past the same hurdle. It is because of the bolded that I went with weaves! I just prefer hair down when I go out even if its not mines :grin:

I love half-wigs, too. I'm still have yet to perfect blending but I like being able to wear "out" styles, while still protecting my own hair.

Here's a post with some pics of a cute braided 'do that I did with this wig.
Updo on my own hair (I think I did a twist out or bantu knot out first)

Thanks for posting this Latoya28. I have been eyeing this wig for a while but I wanted to know how it looked in real life.

Looks great on you :yep:
