Curls: Low on Products

What do you do when you are low on hair products and low on money? Well I can tell you that lately I have been maintaining a look while I'm low on funds. I decided to braid my hair in two French braids to stretch my time between cowashes. It's protective and it's good enough to wear when I don't have any major engagements.

Curls: Chic Updo

So months and months ago I was browsing blogs and on CurlyNikii.com a young lady by the name of West had nice pictures and good info on a chic natural updo. Well I was in summer school working on my M.A. and working out (I also played collegiate basketball), and I desperately needed to do something with my hair that did not require much time. Thus, myself and a friend gave this style a shot. Here are some  photos the style:

The style was pretty simple. My friend twisted all my hair to the center like a mohawk and twisted the hair all the way to the ends. I just played with the hair and pinned it up all over. There are many ways to wear this style. You're the artist!!! 

Curls: Not ready to wash just yet...

Here is a style that I usually go to once my wash -n- go is a wash-n- go no more; or I've worn my braided bantu knots or any other style to its wits end! I part the front part of my hair like I am parting bangs, and then I twist it back. Then I'll pull the rest of my hair back in to a ponytail with a goody hair tie/ band, and either wear a loose ponytail or pin it up. Here are some photos to take a looksie :-) What's your go-to style once your styles are worn out before you decide to wash?
