My signature style. These were taken in December 2009:
I wore this style on the interview I had for my current job...needless to say, this style did not hinder my being hired
. At work, i frequently get complimented by parents and other school staff. And the kids...omg. I have little girls coming up to me gushing over it. One of the little boys in my group (5-year-old, missing front teeth, about 2 feet tall) comes up to me, out of the blue and says "I love ya hair", LOL...made my week.
Oh and and this style is super easy to maintain...one of those styles that when it gets "old" it still looks good, if that makes any sense.

Hi,
I use infusium 23 diluted with water and garnier fructis leave-in conditioning creme when i retwist my whole head ...about once every 5-6 weeks.
I wash in these twists every 5 weeks or so using any shamppo that is in reach (trader joe nourish spa, creme of nature) and pantene r and n deep conditioing mask (i wash, condition, then retwist each twist on my head). In between washings i wipe my scalp with a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel. About every 2 weeks i retwist only the twists around the side part (about 10 twists)...i liken it to a 'touch up' that relaxed ladies get .I have not washed my hair 'loose' in a looonnngg time..maybe 4 months.
At night i throw a scarf/du rag on my head. In the mornings i shake my head, spray some water on the twists to fluff, sometimes apply jojoba oil, and out the door.

Do it Do it Do it, LOL. It's awesome, easy, and sessy
...i get complimented by the most random folks too. When im working in the office, every time i run into the custodian (older man) he goes on about my hair...nothing else. He'll be emptying the garbage and be like 'Boy, i just love your hair, it looks fabulous". LMAO....not to mention the compliments from the menz @ the lounges/bars/restaurants

Nikstar this style is fierce.I don't have any of my own styles to contribute, but I saw this style on a party site. I'm definitely going to give it a try. Looks like it's a great style to do with just a wash-n-go or a braidout/twistout or rollerset.
But i love the way YOUR hair falls in your avatar pic
. I think that is my twist goal.Nikstar this style is fierce.

Thx! It's actually a braidout with the ends rolled on perm rods. Braidouts give me more "hang".

No, no fotki, sorry
.If you do a search on here you will come across a couple of threads i made with some of my hair pics, i will see if i can find a few and post in this thread.
Those puffs are air dried. It was a texture shot, so no products and dry. Another goal of mine, is to have the puffs grow bigger than my head, lol. That pic is old too...i think i took that pic around september/october 09, maybe?

Natural styles I googled that I thought would be appropriate for work
I think this is more for a ceremony or event.....or maybe just hanging out with the right ensemble

If only I weren't so style challenged

Great thread! I love seeing all of these great styles.

Natural again ... this time for good!
This is such a great thread! I realize something from looking at everyone's photos: I sure don't venture out of my style comfort zone. I mainly do buns, curly ponytails and wash-n-gos. Gotta change that in 2010. I don't even want to add to this thread because mine are boring.
