My style varies. Sometimes I do good with just a bun, other times I do braid-outs. What keeps your hair protected and strong?

Braids keep my hair protected from the comb! My hair is short so I can't do much with it. I do box braids, micros and crowrows =)

My style varies too. I wear buns, braidouts, wash n go's, box braids and bantu knots. They're all great protective styles.

I really like buns and have done them for the longest, but recently I am into braids.

So I'm going to say braids.

Here in Atlanta, we're quick to moisturize the hair and put it into a bun, and cover it with a black stretchy cloth/scarf wrapped around the bun and the rest of our hair.

I do that, and I wear wigs sometimes, too.

Ponytails is all I do, and the occasional bun.  During the summer I do wash n' go's.

I do braids at night and braid out ponytails during the day.  I am experimenting with bantu knots at the moment.  I really like how they look.

the WIG was the best invention made for a woman!  I will wash, condition, moisturize and wrap my hair to air dry in place and throw on a wig for work or scarf for weekends (or wear my cute colorful wigs when I go out)  I've had some bad braid and weave experiences so this is what is working for me.
