Post your favorite styles, how-tos, and videos here!

I love two strand twists, but part of my hair is more of a looser curl pattern and won't hold it for longer than 2-3 days!

Tiny twists out & pin the back up
Curly Fro a la ItsMsHeatherNicole
Bantu Knot Out
Twist n Curl a la CurlyNikki

Within 2 years I'll be able to do a bun & high bun!

Favorite style or style my lazy butt will do everyday?? I have been bunning like crazy -- wet or dry. If not some sort of bun, it's a wash and go maintained for a couple of days with two braids at night.

I love to throw my hair in a couple of french braids with Giovanni Direct Leave in Condish, let that sit overnight and through one full day to get completely dry, and take it out for beautiful waaavvy hair !

I love the TNC (one day I will do it tho...lol)
I basically rock a Puff and curly fro every day [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I cannot wait until my hair is long enough to do this style. My mom did it when I was a kid and wanted my hair down!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Since I am still in TWA-land:

1. Wash and go
2. 2 strand twists
3. twist out
4. finger coils
5. coil out

To add some OOOMPH to these styles I've added a scarf, newsboy hat, and one of my cutsie headbands. I am making my way towards the "flower" pin on the side. In TN (Nashville) it is on avg. 65-75 degrees. Not quite cold yet. Hopefully, I can continue to do the w-n-go for another two weeks. The pic above is a coil-out that I did on Friday night.

@jad928 - cute avi! Is that from shingling or a twist out? looks great!

Braid Outs are definately something I love. It's fast!

TNC, Twist-outs, my fake shirly temple style (twist my hair up tight enough to look like spiral curls when untwisted)
todays style is the TNC

Favorite summer style is a braidout. Favorite winter style is hair braided into a high bun.

1. Two Strand and Chunky Twists.
2. Wash n' Go.
3. Afro Puff (I rock it ruff and tuff).
4. My Say it Loud!!! Afro (Solid).
5. Sexy Fro Hawk.

These are my top five for now.

I'm with you sista. I can't wait until I can actually do a TnC, but until then, I'll be rocking my curly fro, two strand twists, or coils.

OK ladies somebody please show me a picture of the wash and go. Not sure I've seen that. Thanks,

A wash n go is just washing, co-washing, or wetting your hair, then adding product (if you do), and going (allowing it to air dry). You have seen it before...

CurlySpeechTherapist! How are you? I haven't seen you on here in a while! Still loving the profile pic!

Haha!! Hey!! I've been checking in, but really busy -- and this site is addictive (smile) so to stay productive I had to take a break. Lol

I totally understand!!

Although most of these styles are done on straight hair it's easy to adapt them to curly/kinky hair also. If anything there's some style inspiration there. Enjoy! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Right now mine are:
1. Mostly two-strand twist-outs (20ish twists)....my avi pic is one from last night
2. 8 Two-strand twists into Bantu-knots to preserve twist-outs for the rest of the week
3. Wash-n-go up-dos (varies)
4. 2 Puffs

50% of the time all I ever used to do until my first mini-chop in Dec. 2009 was 2 French Braids for wavy braid-outs. Haven't tried one since beginning my transition. Gonna try it out next Monday or Tuesday on shampoo day

Can't wait to try the Chunky Twist-n-Curl (or whatever that one was with the flexi-rods)!

I have a question. Is it safe to wear clip in extensions while you're trying to grow your hair longer?
