Relaxed hair means straight hair ALL the time.....Um, NOT!!

[sunnieb]

Ok, relaxed ladies - let's show off our non-straight hair styles in here. I don't care if it's an updo, downdo, bun, whatever! And don't you dare post a pic without telling us how you got the style!

****And I want to go on record as stating that I am in no way using this thread as a selfish attempt to steal styling ideas to show off my hair this holiday season. ****

Okkkaayyyy......go!

Nix08 and divachyk - help a sista out!

 

[Nix08]

Lets see most of my styles have probably been seen before and are not all that fancy but here it goes..

Front poof with a mini claw clip, second mini claw clip holding up hair by the ears and a back bun


Pincurls rolled and layed flat against the head before pinning on head


2 strand twists, bantu'd out


Banana clip ponytail

And my favourite is in my siggy...CARUSO's:yep

 

[Softerlove]

Beautiful ladies! I'm natural but will be jacking some of these styles when I rock my tresses straight! **subbing**

 

[SmileyNY]

Great thread

I'm texlaxed.

This is a "finger styling" from the beginning of the year. Basically leave-in was put on my wet hair & I sat under a hooded dryer. My hair was fluffed out with a diffuser once it was dry.

This is a wash & go from June.

Another wash & go from this summer...

Braidout done with 4 braids, lightly combed, and put in a southern tease bun (added a bun net to hold everything in place):

I`m going to do that bun tomorrow

Be sure to pull a few strands out in the front/side. It makes for a very feminine touch.

 

[Nix08]

^^^ Good thing you mentioned I don't normally like my hair all pulled back like that (however it seems nice and easy) the strands in the front will make me feel like a lovely lady

 

[divachyk]

Daaaanng! Y'all are making me mad with all these beautiful buns. I wish I was as creative. I'm not relaxed but I wonder if I could do these when I flat iron my hair.

One of the things I like about my relaxed hair is that it is so versatile. I can wear it straight with ease, but I can also wear it in textured styles when I please.

[Gemini350z]

Bandu knot-out, my favorite stretching "protective" style. Low manipulation and it keeps my hair off my clothes!

 

[chelleypie810]

Gemini350z how do you do your bantu knots???

 

[Gemini350z]

@Gemini350z how do you do your bantu knots???

I usually make sure my hair is damp, then I will add leave in condish and seal with oil. I part my hair in squares about 1.5" in length and width, and start to twisting, then wrap the hair around the base. The key for me is that it is damp and I make sure the ends are wrapped perfectly so I get a springy curl. It lasts for a while!
