What hairstyles have you just NOT been able to master?

[aa9746]

I can braid and twist but I haven't mastered cute styles that I see others do with twists and braids.

 

[NikkiQ]

Can't cornrow or do flat twists to save my soul. I'm gonna get a mannequin head and try it out or torture my nieces and try on them

bantu knot outs: One of the 2 times I got frustrated with my hair. I almost tied my hair in knots. My hair looked like a grandma's roller set...Gosh awful!

wrap: When I was relaxed I could never wrap my hair. I always had a bump of hair at the crown.

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

wrap my hair (but i think i just need more practice)

wigs (half wigs, lace wigs, full wigs, partial... just wigs) only ever bought one in my life, never wore it out (except for Halloween). I see others wear them successfully, but i just dont think i could ever pull them off. plus they seem too hot. i feel like i'm missing out on a great protective style though

install braid extensions. I know how, and have done a decent job on my dd on a couple of occasions, but i can never get it to look right on myself. I really wanted to do the crown and glory method, but since i dont have skills to keep it up, i've never done it

wash n goes. When my hair was shorter, it was easy breazy and looked great, when i got heat damage, it looked horrible, when i re-big-chopped last year, it looked great again, now it looks horrible again and i think its due to length/awkward stage as it grows so i dont wear them much (but will revisit in summer)

Roller sets. After all these years and several attempts I still can't get it right.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Cornrows, twist outs, and braid outs! Ugh!

 

[Lanea87]

A rollerset....

 

[AlliCat]

I can cornrow my bangs but not the rest of my hair. Make no sense. I need to work on this because I think it would make my braidouts a lot better

speaking of braid outs I haven't perfected it either. I do it differently all the time, and most of the time it comes out nice, but I'd really like to have one technique and stick with it for predictable results

 

[AlliCat]

EbonyCPrincess you're totally not alone on the bantu knots..They look soo pretty on some people but I just can't get them right ever

 

[AlliCat]

Oh and wet bunning is a fail...Its too hard to get my wet hair in a bun without manipulating it too much. And even if I find a way my bun just looks puny compared to a regular bun on dry hair

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I've tried twist outs...my hair just won't hold the definition. Cornrows and any other kind of braids are not working. I am able to 2 strand twist and flat twist a little. The middle of my hair is difficult to do anything to, but I am still trying to practice and keep twists in my hair.

 

[halee_J]

Um, pretty much anything that is not a bun or WnG

 

[Carisa]

flat ironing, roller sets, cornrows.....for the most part i don't know how to do any styles

 

[hothair]

Rollersets. I have tried this on natural and relaxed hair but still come out looking crazy. For less work I prefer a wet wrap then curl/bump the ends

 

[ZkittyKurls]

i havent tried bantu knot outs on un stretched hair, which is what i would like to work on but did them on a week old flat ironed hair and it was beautiful.

also i tried braidouts when i first became natural and it was a no go. but i think it will work and look better with more length.

Lastly i would like to master the rollerset...i couldnt even master it when i was relaxed and never even attempted it on my natural hair...scared pretty much!

 

[Mrs.Shawn]

Funny this thread came up. I have never been able to cornrow, mainly because I naturally braid in and not underhand. But today I did my daughter's whole head and it's actually presentable enough for her to go out in public. But I definitely have not mastered the skill.

 

[Evolving78]

the longer my hair gets, the more difficult it gets for me to style it.

 

[chelleyrock]

Wash n go's. They look ok when wet, but as soon as my hair dries it shrinks up like crazy and looks a hot mess. Not sure if it's the products, technique, hair shape/length or all of the above. Maybe when I get more length I'll try again.

 

[thecurlycamshow]

I can flat twist my daughter hair in all kind of styles and designs. I can barely do mine I saw a vid by longhairdontcare2011 that I may use to try make my flat twists neater.

 

[MrsSmitty77]

Bantu knot outs for me. My DD is 16 and she does them beautifully. Mine always end up floppy without any true curl definition.

 

[Mandy4610]

Cornrows, twists and flat twists. I have pretty much given up, it ain't gonna happen, but I can rock a fierce braidout!

 

[hair_rehab]

-I can do a twist out with no problem but when I braid my hair, I can never get a braid out that isn't frizzy or tangled.

-cornrows and flat twists

-roller sets
