What protective style works for you?

[Jeezelle]

Is the best protective style having the ends tucked or just keeping it off your clothing?
My favorite is pulling my hair back [not tightly] and pinning it under. It doesn't touch my clothing.

For me, it's the bun.

 

[TinyT]

2 strand twists.

 

[AnjelLuvs]

i still dont get the bun thing

 

[Spagirl]

I have to say after a summer of braid outs my tried and true is the bun.

 

[ThursdayGirl]

my hair isn't quite long enough for a proper bun... so I would say French twist!

A bun for me too.

SweetPea, your bun is beautifu! Hod do you do it??

I mostly wear my hair in a braidout but I usually pin it up with a barrette or scrunchy.

 

[Isis]

Mine is the bun and the French Twist.

The bun or pinning it up.

The bun and the braid in my pic (but with the ends tucked up underneath the braid). It sorta looks like a braided french roll.

Me too! Although, I love french twists & rolls, but can't do them myself.

Thanks for the compliment, Hairlove. Here's how I do my bun:

I made it using a foam donut (purchased at Sally's for about $2). I first moisturized my hair and put it into a ponytail. I then put the foam donut over the ponytail and spread the hair over it using a rattail comb (to ensure that the hair is evenly distributed). Next, I slide a scrunchie over the donut-covered-hair to make sure that the hair stays smooth over the donut. Finally, I tuck my ends under the scrunchie, and that's it!

I've checked out your pics, and you do a pretty mean bun too

Thanks, SweetPea! I may have to buy a donut...I like that your bun is so big! It's so pretty that way!

Sweet Pea that bun looks great!

But I thought that foam was bad for our hair?

To answer the poster's question, I like to wear buns now and my hair up with a banana clip.

For now, phony ponytails. I don't have enough to put in a bun yet!

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I'm reluctantly on the bun challenge but for the last few days I've been experimenting with wigs (even though my hair is still pinned up underneath. I love, love, love it. Having great hair has never been so easy.

No problem, hairlove. I think it looks so big due to the angle I took the picture at. When I began experimenting with buns, I made my own sock bun and it was so tiny! I think that the donut gives me good size...

Chichi, foam may cause friction with some folks and ultimately lead to breakage as it rubs agains your hair. I have covered my donut with a stocking/nylon-like material, specifically a wave/scully cap. I'm experimenting with covering the donut with a piece of one of my satin headscarves....securing it with nail glue

I see it in my avatar. I've noticed that off and on my pics don't show up and I don't know why. But it's there!
