Hi and thank you!

You will need:
*an ouchless Goody elastic hairband or nylon stocking
*two "closed" bobby pins
*several "open" bobby/hair pins
*aloe vera gel or styling gel
*satin scarf and satin bonnet



  1. I spritz my hairline in the front and back with water, apply aloe vera gel, and lightly brush back.
  2. Next, take the elastic band, double it around your neck, and smooth back on your head as if doing a puff.
  3. Use the closed bobby pins to anchor the elastic band on both sides. (Make sure that the puff is not tight or anchored too tightly. The scarf will take care of any stray hairs.)
  4. Your hair should now be in a puff. Part with your fingers a 1-1.5 inch section directly in the middle of the puff and braid it up (you will work this section last). For the look in the picture, I rolled my hair in about 6 sections including the middle section.
  5. I start with front center section, roll the hair with my finger, and secure with an open bobby pin. Next, I rolled two more on both sides of the front center one. In the very back, I only rolled two sections. Lastly, I unbraided the middle piece and rolled it as well.
  6. The great thing about this style is that you can take as many or as few sections as you want. I usually anywhere from 3-8 sections to change up the look.
  7. I use a satin scarf to set the style and lay my hair. My satin scarf is about 6 inches wide and long enough to double over my head. I also put a satin bonnet on top of the bun area. You can do this style at night, cover with a scarf, and be ready to go in the morning.
  8. You can go to youtube and search for "Cinnabun" to get the general idea of how to roll the hair with the fingers, etc.

hair style for today, a basic puff with four two-strand twists for bangs that I ended up twisting together to the side...

I decided to do a braid and curl. I like it; I wonder how it will withstand the workouts but we'll see :)

Just figured it out. I had to 'click' and hold on the post I wanted to respond to. Hope the pics upload. Ooohh, I'm psyched now!

I luv this thread. This is a bantu knot out done on blow dried (didn't to a good job on the blow out) hair. Second time I've blown my hair out to style. With blowing it out, I was able to keep it semi straight and didn't wash until week two. Set came out better when I last blow dried, will have to try again.

I let go of the bun today and wore my hair down. I cowashed and airdried last night to give my 13 weeks post newgrowth a moisture boost. I can't comb through it dry, so a half up/half down style was all I felt like doing.

I henna'd for the first time today, and I was finally able to get my hair back into a scrunchie "bun" thingy for the first time on shrunken hair... lol.

Nothing to write home about, but a first for me so I'm happy. :grin:
 
I've been rocking two french braids and braidouts (alternating) for the past couple weeks. Nothing fancy but it makes for an awesome braidout when it gets old.
