Hairstyles for SL - BSL hair

[Lucie]

Hi Ladies,

Geez, I haven't posted a thread in this forum in years!!! Anyways, I am about to commit hairicide if I don't get some more hairstyles. I have five styles:

1. Out and parted to the right
2. A ponytail
3. A bun
4. The wet look
5. Occasionally I do pigtails

I'd love to perfect an updo, or fancy bun, messy curls, soft curls, SOMETHING!!! Perhaps you all can post your favorite styles that you do with some instructions.

PLEASE HELP!!!! MY SIDE PART IS SO BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PH

P.s. I enclosed a larger pic of my boring part. And the dude is not my DH. That's the baby's godfather.

I like bantu knots and curlformers I have pics in my fotki.

Ummm well I'm sorry I don't own a camera or even a cell phone with one to show this but what I wear most of the time is a coiled pin up braid style because I wash and airdry most days out of the week than not.

After finishing up in the shower, I make a part down the middle and braid each side into a separate braid. Then simply pin one side up opposite the other side near the base of the braid. My hair is slightly past BSL now so I have to wrap the braid around each other so they look like and infinity symbol. This only takes two bobby pins and I only need my fingers to braid. The front is smoothed back and I wrap a pretty headband/scarf around the top and I'm out the door. It's not the most glamorous style ever but it works for the daily cowash.

I will try this, thank you!!!

I love your bantu knots and curlformers, but I don't think I am skilled enough to do that. How many did you buy? You look like you have a lot of hair.

Bonjour Belle,
Have you tried flexi rods? When I was relaxed I used them when I wanted a curly look. You can make them as tight or as loose as you want.

How about braidouts? that's my go-to easy style. You can pin it up on day 2 for a cute updo.

So I just braid my hair and take it out? That makes my hair look like Diana Ross'. I guess my technique (as usual) isn't that great.

I like J-Lo's hair!!! How would I do that? Curlformers?

 

[jujubelle]

you can get J. Lo's style by using conair hotsticks. My hair comes out like that everytime when I use them.

Welcome to the board newbie!!!

I will look into that. I have a list of 50-11 things I need to buy. DH says I can buy them all, but not expect to go away on vacation.
