@Fhrizzball - Thanks. It was that castor oil. My hair is colored. I got it colored back in July.

Did you have to bleach it? I dyeing to get to get my hair coloured but bleaching it scares me off. Last time I used dye though it sadly didn't take so I would probably have to bite the bullet and bleach it first if I want colour to show up on my hair.

Fhrizzball - nope, my hair wasn't bleached. A stylist in Los Angeles, CA colored my hair. I don't know what she used but I know it was not bleach because she said she doesn't use bleach to color clients' hair.

I decided not to wear my donut bun to bed. It was too big to be laying on. I know I move around alot when I sleep and I can already imagine the ponytail holder and donut bun probably breaking my hair strands on the sides of my head. But anyway, I put my hair in two loose braids, one on each side of my head....
...contemplating putting my hair into a protective updo style instead of a bun tomorrow...
... not sure yet, we'll see...

Three videos that give good tips on how to do mini twists, wash them and avoid unraveling. It allows so much freedom to have the option of washing and DC your twists. The first two are by Naptural85:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqbIJpGgTtM&feature=youtu.be
The third video is another technique for washing mini twists by Naturalhairgrowth101 (Ms Lala) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMVmVuG6SI0
Both have shown great growth by using mini twists as a long term protective style
ETA: Had to add a fourth video by my favorite youtuber, AFR0ST0RY, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nd2U_v7_Eo&feature=plcp She also uses micro twists as a long term protective style and has a good wash technique video

I realize that since I have been doing this challenge I have not wore my hair down not once. I am proud of myself. When I take my hair down from the bun it goes straight up into two damp braids for the night and a bun again the next day.

Hey ladies!
I took my mini-twists out on Saturday - I think that made 2 weeks. Seems thats the longest I can go without washing, and when I wash the twists just go HAM!
I detangled last night 1.5 hrs! Ugh! I'm bunning now, and I think this style will be a keeper. My hair is shorter in the front so I rolled and pinned about 1/3 of my hair and bunned the back. This is the bomb for those with shorter hair.
The 2nd pic is how I wore my hair for a couple days - before I detangled - minit-twist out rolled, tucked, and pinned.

Here you go:
I was trying to create this style from this video: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=NfzocIiLgnU
This is the first time I tried to flat twist going up in the opposite direction. I need to practice more but this style will do for the time being. I'm undecided about whether I'm gonna take it down or not after work.

hi, I don't take the bun down, i sleep with it that way. all my buns are very loose (otherwise i get headaches), i can only use banana clips or doughnut bun without the lastic band, just the scrunchie!
Poohbear, ohlalalala, jolie, jolie!!!! this challenge is so inspiring for us who are style challenged! thank you to all the creative ladies!!!
