5 Minute Natural Hair Protective Style

Hey Curlies,

Looking for hairstyles...searching for hairstyles. That's all I did last night as I wanted to find a style for my trip to Atlanta this weekend. (Details here).

I thought about doing my favorite voluminous twistout or braid out but I decided against it. Instead, I chose to go with a simple protective style.

I began with an old style that I wore all last week (It was pretty cute and you can check it out here).

Using Bask and Bloom Essentials' More Moisture Cream to style, I created a small part to the side then separated my front and back sections.



While clipping the front sections out of the way, I split the back section into halves and created two lose two strand twists. Once these were completed, I crisscrossed each twist, then pinned them in place.

With the back section done, I did two tuck and roll twists on each front section, then pinned them over the back section.

I'll be sporting this style all weekend until I have time to wash on Sunday. I have an early flight back to Indianapolis Sunday, however i'm on a board for a community organization and they are hosting a fundraiser...so this will be an eventful weekend!

See you at the hair show!
