Thank you!! I have come to the conclusion that THIS will always be my "style" for the rest of my life. Even when I am 40, 50 or 60. I will always have a roll, tuck & pin of some sort going on. I can picture me now with the silver/gray up do LOL. I just cannot break out of this kind of protective styling.

Who else does roll, tuck and pin ALL THE TIME? Am I the only one? I don't see anyone around me doing this. Only on the internet I see these kinds of styles.

Me when I look in the mirror after detangling my whole head. Same volume and shrinkage.

I don't know how to do these. I think they are so pretty though. I've watched a few videos but I've never tried it. Do you have and suggested video tutorials that you could post links of?

Thank you! Once I find a video I will post it for you. I can tell you what I do though.
I twist my hair in chunky twists and pin them with bobby pins this way or that way which ever suits my need. I take another twist or section of hair and do the same. These styles are like snowflakes they never look the same way twice. If a section of hair is sticking too far out ill take a pin and tuck the hair. Or I'll roll a section and pin. You can't mess up. It will always looks decent trust me. I always get asked how I acheived a certain style as if it took a long time, but it takes me 3 minutes tops to do. If you know how to twist, roll and use bobby pins it's cake.

There are a lot of roll, tuck & pins on the internet, but in person I rarely see ladies doing this. I get tons of compliments! A man wanted my number today after he complimented my hair for two whole minutes. He was tall and dark oooh La La. But I don't know how to date anymore 
. I still gave him the number

By the time I get married (Lord willing) I will have butt length hair or longer for sure. Next year my hair will be tail bone length guaranteed. On my wedding i will have one big fancy ROLL AND TUCK LOL. That I will do myself!! Top it with a vale boom done.

....when the rest of me is revealed. My ideas are subject to change though.

@FadingDelilah this is another good wedding style. I think it's blow dried. I could do this one.

Ohhhh okay!! I see you
thats a tough call. There are a lot of beautiful wedding updos. Updos look elegant and help the dress shine. I will probably wear one on my wedding day too. I always dreamed of doing a jumbo flexi rod set so I could pin it up into a beautiful low chignon with curly tendrils falling out, embedded with lots of crystals to go with my dress. 
And if my head doesn't feel heavy from all the hair and jewelry my neck is carrying, than the wedding is rescheduled. Lol. FadingDelilah

Its nice after a long stressful day to just put on some rain sounds audio and read through the board. Now if only I had an entire marshmallow iced chocolate Entenmann's cake, a family sized bag of Red Hot chips, three supreme tacos and a large 2 L sprite next to me right now, this would be even more perfect.

So why did I spend over ten minutes combing out a Barbie Doll' s hair today!? LOL!
My niece and I were playing and I ended up giving the Barbie a corn row. This doll has a full head of hair. I even curled one of her dolls hair with hot water.....i care even about doll hair
. My niece is 7 now so I like to show her how you can glam up Barbie for the night out.

So yesterday my hair style was ugly and hurting my head because I placed the bobby pins while rushing out the door. So i knew I had to fix it once I got to work. I threw some extra bobby pins in my pocket and ran out the door. At work I wenwwwt to the bathroom and took the pins out to start over. I was shocked when my hair fell.It FELL all over my shoulders and upper back. It was gorgeous! And heavy.
I usually don't to just stop to look at it. It's always up or tied down with a scarf except on detangling days and even then I hurry up and put it in twists followed by a scarf (I Protect Style 1,000 % of the time). I hurried up and threw 5-6 pins in and I was back to my boring self again 
.This is the healthiest my hair has been my entire life so far. It's 80% healthier than when I first joined in 2009. I can't believe this is really my hair! It's thick, shiny, long, and really black. And it's even. Hardly have SSK due to me using grease. It's hair I'd see in my dreams, yet it's not a dream. These were all my thoughts as I stood in the bathroom at work. And the kicker is THAT THERE'S MORE TO COME! By Christmas it's gonna be
. I pray that the Lord let's me keep it all my life.I could have had this hair in junior high!! How come nobody told me about this?! All us lil black girls in my school had no hair. Nobody knew about our hair, that it could actually grow! I remeber in high school one white girl said to me "Y'alls hair don't be growing" (I can still hear her voice saying that line). I was like
while secretly thinking "she's right". Yall dont even understand how much i coveted long hair back then. Now the secret' s out as of 2007/2008!!!!! Long time coming. Long time coming!!!

<--had coffee before bed....So once on one of my late night feastings I goes to get my usual 3 cookies & cream Hershey bars
at the corner CVS. There were two black women cashiers one whom I always spoke with on late night snack grabs. This particular night she was EXCITED and said to me "Look! look at her hair!!" While spinning the other black girl around so that I could see her long MLB hair. I was tickled and got excited for her and with her. It was great standing there with them excited about long black hair. It was awesome.

It buged me the other day while getting my things together for a detangling session and I could not find my thumb tack. I love using a thumb tack to get knots out. So I took one from work today right off the cork board in the corridore's and dropped it in my purse on the way out.

Y'all know what ticks me off? Is when you Google "clown hair" afros come up. They're colorful rainbow afros, but they're AFROS JUST THE SAME!

This morning I was watching a YT video on how Indian women care for their hair. Apparently, they wash their hair with Shikakai powder. I've been wanting to try some ayurvedic hair care after seeing how CurlyProverbz hair has flourished doing that.

Purchased some kaleidoscope drops - I have crochet Senegalese twists in- we will see if they work
That looks super cute and really blends nicely with your hair!

Thank you! My hair was a mess under it though haha. I had about ten twists that I gathered up in a bun UNDETANGLED! Who knew? It's amazing what can happen with some gel and a scarf LOL.
When I snatched that puff off I was like...

I've decided that I will trim only once per year. I'm a daily washer, now that it's hot I'm washing my hair twice per day using a very gentle shampoo bar, and I keep conditioner, pomade, gel and activator in my hair so my hair is always moisturized so I don't foresee me getting too many split ends. I'm just afraid of straightening my hair to do it because I don't want to chance messing up my curl pattern. I am going to see if wet setting my hair then combing it out will allow me to see the split ends....I think it will.
