From 6/15/2011 + a quick style

This morning, I took out all of the bands and the results were mediocre. I have gotten better results and a longer stretch from banding wet hair. But, this is a moment that it is great to be natural...there is always a solution. I kind of like the afro look, but since I work with kids, I did not want a bunch of little hands in my clean hair, but I remembered a quick style that I saw online and decided that there is no time like the present. I parted the front section of my hair and did a flat twist with that hair. I then just pulled the rest of my hair up into a puff. Thank goodness for hair growth!

At night, I left the flat twist in, and did large twists in the back to discourage shrinkage; then I covered it all with a bonnet. I would also moisturize my ends with shea butter daily.

I was able to wear this style for about a week.
