can u tell me what they are?

hi, bit of a weird message but here it is....
i have short brown hair, layerd, longest length to my collar...
i was thinking of having my hair in twists n top of my head...like tiny twists from my forhead and secure with bobby pins or wateva......the thing is what are they called??? sorry if u dont understand what im saying....but thats the reason im askin, so when i go to the hairdresser i wont come out looking like a poodle!!

so if u have any ideas of what they`re called or have any other ideas of what i could do with my hair, it would be greatly appreciated..pictures of styles welcome :)
just email me at : craigwingsgirl@hotmail.com
