My style varies. Sometimes I do good with just a bun, other times I do braid-outs. What keeps your hair protected and strong? ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

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 =) ------------- Hair Type- 4a/b *transitioning front of my head* Length-ranges from 5-7 inches =) Products- Garnier Fructis S & S Poo, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Conditioner and Cantu-Leave in =) |

My style varies too. I wear buns, braidouts, wash n go's, box braids and bantu knots. They're all great protective styles.  ------------- *Transitioned Successfully (7-20-05~7-20-07) *100 Natural~3c/4a *Hair Goal: WSL *stretched/straighten* '08 |

I really like buns and have done them for the longest, but recently I am into braids. So I'm going to say braids. ------------- http://fire.prohosting.com/p1017 - My Hair Site Copy site: http://phoenix1017.sitesled.com

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. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

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

I do braid outs at night and take it out the next morning and do a braided bun,which is the a bun but I braid the hair before pin into a bun. And I like to do phonie ponies. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/blackhoney112/hair_album/101505_.html - Hair album pw:Romeo |

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. ------------- Natural 10 years 3b/4a armpit length hair |

| 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. |
