Really? The first one I clicked seemed like what I have seen on 4a/b women and I have tried myself. All she did was braid her hair from the front to the back. I have seen many styles on youtube like that with braids and flat twists. I tried it myself this morning, but couldn't figure out how to flat twist my 4a/b hair neatly. My hair is not long enough to bun, but I could use a zing and have the back out. I just need to learn how to braid and twist.

Thanks! Here are some other great ones that I really like (for protective styling).

I like the last one, the waterfall braids.

mscocopuff · Jan 18, 2012

I love them!! Thanks for sharing. I plan on using these styles ASAP.

aishasoleil · Jan 19, 2012

Very cute styles! Sadly, my hair will need to be longer before I can try them. But one day... Lol!

I'm truly getting tired of wearing the same old buns.

DaiseeDay · Jan 19, 2012

I found one of a easy 5 min messy bun, I wonder how this would work on curly hair.

regina07 · Jan 20, 2012

wow! those are inspiration. Unfortunately that's too much manipulation for my hair and I'm too dang lazy!

Thanks for sharing tho'! Some of those updo would be great for parties and formals.

I think some of the braid twist based buns can be braided throughout the length then re-done every 3 days then just take the back down moisturize and scarf it up then next day just smooth the front and pin the back up again. No more work than a baggie bun I do daily.

So I think it's good some clear people are doing something with their hair, but for a 4b, even texlaxed, these are not 'quick' styles.

Can't find the link to the tutorial, but I tried the 4-Twist Bun (not the real name). It was quick and easy - took less than 5 minutes:

To do:

1. Make a ponytail
2. Divide ponytail into 2 parts
3. Pin 1 part out of the way
4. Divide remaining tail into 2 parts
5. Twist 1 part until it winds down onto head (kinda like a pin curl) and pin
6. Repeat with next part
7. Unpin remaining hair
8. Split into 2 parts
9. Twist/wind and pin part 1
10. Twist/wind and pin part 2

Finished!

I love this lady. I get sent a notification when she uploads again. I've totally stolen some of her styles. She uses extra pieces to acheive some of her styles. I think that might be of interest to those who might have shorter hair.

Thanks for the tag Lucia

Naw :nono:

cute loose braid styles don't work with hair. Within a day my hair would look fuzzy. Only styles that have lots of tension and small parts. but those are time consuming and not nearly as cute imo.

ms.tatiana · Jan 20, 2012

Thanks!

Will start trying these style in February .
