The French twist I’m trying to accomplish.

After sweating it out on the treadmill and oiling my scalp... my hair became instantly frizzy. Oh well!!!! I decided to French braid my hair instead today being as though I have no hair pins. It’s janky but the office is empty on night shift.

I never wear wigs but this year, the headband wig changed my mind. I've been on a personal challenge since end of January and have only been wearing this wig with braids underneath. I see retention, and my edges are left alone. All good
Even my husband finally accepted the wig !(he normally hates wigs)
Because it looks like my own hair in texture .....

Headband wigs have been a game changer for me! I have 3 and about 2 dozen headbands/headwraps. My hair hasn't seen outside air since February 2020.

Headbands are great!! Wow you managed to hide your hair for that long with these wigs. I am bored of mine (since January). I might need to buy another one to have a change (curly kinky). I just bought some hair for kinky twists and hope I will make them right. Planned to do them myself next week and hope it will take less than 3 hours.

I have been WFH. I only wear them on calls when I need to have the video on and some personal Zooms. Otherwise, I wear one of my turbans or headwraps. I rotate between the 3. One is curly, wavy and straight. They each replicate my own hair. For variety I change the style. I may do a pineapple, bun, high/low etc. I always get complements. Got folx out here really thinking I'm putting in effort doing hair. In reality, it only takes me 5-15 minutes depending on my mood.

lol I wish I knew how to do more styles with the wirg. I always feel like people will see wig cap and the rows of hair in the wig. So I only bun low or do a medium ponytail.I have been WFH.

All right. So I did my new protective style today with marley hair. Took me about 2 hours and a half to do. I'm satisfied. Saved money by doing it alone + being gentle to my hair. I hope to keep this style for at least 1 month and a half.

After all this time, I finally decided to quit hiding and participate in some hair threads.
This summer I was getting tired of my usual buns
and low ponies.
Lately I’ve been feeling a “Frida Kahlo”vibe.
I pinned up my two braided pigtails and went HAM with the flowers.

Let's grow some hair
It's too hot where I live to ever wear your hair down in the summer. I try to make a twisty bun and then fluff it up a little.
I also use those extra thick no metal elastics from the dollar store.
Edit: it won't seem to let me attach pictures.

Hi! What kind of hair is this? I think I’d like this as my hair suffered damage from someone else braiding it and I’m growing it out. I miss my chunky twists and maybe I can fake it until I make it.My dude thought it was my real hair and now one of my people want me to do her hair when I’m finished with mine.
