Hi Allandra! What is your hair type? I think you might be a hair twin for me, lol. I have never been able to decide what my type was (my guess is 4a though) but my texture looks alot like yours. That's a great protective style

mainly 3c with some 4a in the back

Has anyone tried any protective hairstyles by Lilith Moon and have pictures? She seems to do them so quick and easy...but it's difficult for me to do!

the 1st pic is how I wear my hair when I don't want to mess w/ it for a few days. 2nd pic - when my curls start dropping I bundle them in a crochet hair net. and I just took the twists out 2 days ago.

Your styles are awesome!!
I struggle with Protective styling and you have given me some idea's,

Awesome!

I like your flat-twist style, Allandra
I really need to practice flat-twisting. Mine don't look neat.

Here are just a few of the protective styles I wear regularly - mostly buns. My hair does fine with daily re-styling. The only time I wear a bun for two days is when my hair is in it's curly state. After two days, I co-wash and restyle. Most of these pics are with blowdried or flatironed hair because when my hair is curly I only wear a messy bun. I have pictures of another 30 or so in my profile albums.

Here are pics of one of my favorite protective styles (two flat twists, pinned up on the sides).

After I wash, deep condition and moisturize my hair, I do this style in the shower (only takes a few minutes), and I'll put my scarf on at night. In the mornings, I'll mist it with plain ole water. This style can last me from five to seven days (yes, it'll still look nice and neat).

Please share pics of your protective styles here.


yours is so much neater than mine! ive been doing pretty much the same style for a couple years now...and just like you, i do it in the shower...but mine doesnt look nearly as good as yours! HMPFH! lol.

maybe i'll go for this style again next week and see if i can get it to look neater.
