Okay...I'm trying to get more into my protective styling....I have collar bone length hair...I think its a mix of 3b,c4 ish...I'm so sorry...I don't plait well....#shrug#
So when I wash and seal I do some two strand twists...I sick at bunning my own hair...I've used the donuts and all...I didn't like...so I use an ago pony after I clip up the two strand twists....thoughts?
I was an avid twist out queen but they get crazy looking after awhile and I have to fuss with them too much... I apologize if this is a redundant post but as stated above suggestions appreciated...
I teach but I must keep it popping;-)

I'm currently looking for a protective style. I recently did the big chop and no I can barley get it in a ponytail. Last night I did a bun but it was so tight I couldn't wait to get it out. I need to think of something quick for the winter months. To see my journey so far check out my youtube channel.

Flat twists are a really good way to keep your hair in a protective style. And I swear my Bantu Knots. When I initially did the BC that is what kept my hair growing.
