jprayze...so am I

Redid my bun for my date...

Kimeshajohnson. So soft, pretty and classy

new do

SimJam. That's hot. How long do you plan to keep it in?

 

[NikkiQ]

Doing an overnight DC on dry hair after bunning all weekend. Gonna wash, detangle and put it back in my lovely anemic bun until wash day

 

[virtuenow]

Is it ok if I post the weekly styles I do with my braids?

No offense but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the thread-- which is to wear your own hair and encourage others to wear or start wearing their hair.

Well at least she can post the styles so that maybe someone else can mimic with their own hair.

 

[MeowMix]

This is like a NikkiQ challenge.

faithVA. Yeah I think NikkiQ has definitely inspired me on this board. She makes me calling her buns anemic. I wish mine were as thick.

not the greatest picture (hard to see), but here i have my twists rolled and pinned in the front and then in a side ponytail in the back.

ill probs post a better picture sometime. i suck at this HAHA!

youwillrise. That's a nice picture my friend. Your hairstyle is cute and you have happy eyes. BTW, what does the baby ointment in post 1107 do?

Had to go to a baby shower. So I bunned up my hair. Gonna try to keep it in for at least 2 more days at least. Just tie it up at night.

pookaloo83. Your bun looks very classy. Kudos on the avi and the siggy. YOLO to the extreme.

bajandoc86. I'm thinking this challenge would be close to shutting down if you didn't. We KNOW you can do hair. Good to see you.

Bun for the week. Not glamorous. Just got done working out. First one is the side. Second one is the top.

No offense taken. I get your point, but as pookaloo83 pointed out, I figured maybe those ladies with longer hair who wear twists, may like to see some styles they can try. 'Tis all.

This is my style for this week (the first 2 are instagram pics - so excuse the filter )...

OMG bajandoc86 soooooo beautiful

 

[SimJam]

My medium twists are still very neat and soft. My brain is fried from doing math and I have to work tonight and tomorrow then quiz Wednesday I just feel overwhelmed. Gonna put some sulfur grease on my scalp and oil my ends before work. Hope you ladies are well.

you'll do well tomorrow

MeowMix Im hoping to keep this in for 2 weeks

 

[faithVA]

Put my second set of coils in last night. It still took me 3 hours. Now I just need to keep my hands out of my head to make them last longer.

 

[bajandoc86]

Thanks Ladies!

-PYT

 

[NappyNelle]

My hair was a little dry and my scalp was itchy today. I can't wait to take down these twists to really wash and deep condition.

-PYT I hope you do well and can have a relaxing break soon!

 

[jesusislove1526]

1 more week to go before I take down this set of mini braids...I look forward to having my hair free for Thanksgiving, but a new set will be going in afterwards.

-PYT. Got some calming thoughts going out to you. Looks like I posted ~the same time and missed this.

 

[BraunSugar]

My scalp is itchy as hayle! I haven't washed my hair since last Sunday, so that would be 9 days now. I know better. I think this is the longest I've gone without washing my hair since I BC'd. I have to wash this mess ASAP. Never, ever, EVER, ever again! I know I've been wrapped up in life but... I am ready to detach my scalp from my skull right now.

 

[Growingmyhairlong]

Today's style,

 

[BGT]

On Sunday it will be 1 full month of co-washing and bunning, so I'll post a pic then.

I really like that style. Very Cute!!!

 

[Kimeshajohnson]

Ok...I did it! Lolzyz I washed an dc my hair...the mega tek seems to have made it stronger...I could feel the hair pull instead of break when I was finger combing my hair...I didn't get the hard stuff hair with it though...so that's a plus...and I definitely didn't see as much shedding as I usually do. But I washed and went so I can't make a full comparison until I do..which I'm trying not to for a while...

 

[-PYT]

Thanks so much for the kind words and e-hugs, ladies!!! I feel much better. I think the quiz went well twists still holding up. I love this Glover's carrot oil sulfur grease. My scalp smells like nothing! I plan to twist out this weekend then twisting back up for the holiday!!

it got super cold out quick, didn't it??? I want to keep my hair twisted for winter.

 

[BraunSugar]

I took down my twists and washed my hair. I made it about 3 weeks. I'm in a WnG right now. I'll bun after a few days then put in some mini braids... maybe.

 

[NappyNelle]

I've been playing with my roots for days, and it feels good. Maybe my hair will look longer to me by the time I take these twists down.

A big bun pic I came across:

I love LoveJo. I follow her on instagram and youtube. Her brows are always on point.

 

[pookaloo83]

And also she makes her buns look big by illusion. She's barely APL I believe. She just flat ironed her hair and it seems to always stay shoulder lengthish. I could be wrong though. Looks like it to me. still love her though.

 

[Poohbear]

Sorry ladies...been wearing twistouts since Saturday evening...

Today's do was just two 2-strand flat twists pinned up. I gave my hair a deep side part for some interest.
