@ S-hair - Hahaha..ppl are funny characters. I rock buns on the daily too.

@ Rauney - Hey sis. Thanks!! Braid outs are nice but sometimes it can take a beating on your hair if you leave it in the hair too long.

@ Natalie - Wearing your hair in a banana clip is considered a low manipulation style. I'm really sorry to hear about your burn. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

@ Keisha - Thanks!! Don't be a stranger.

@ Clevagirl - That is considered a protective style since it's up and your ends are not exposed. Keeping your styles versatile will prevent you from getting bored.

If you did Bantu Knot Outs and put the majority of your hair up in an updo (except for say a few curls), is that considered a low manipulation or protective style?

I do a little of both styles to keep from getting bored and since I rarely use direct heat anymore, I find myself doing buns quite a bit. Bantu Knot Outs in an updo helps keep me from getting into a styling rut.

Would putting hair up with a banana clip be considered a low manipulation hair-style? I'm using this style at the moment. I am also thinking of doing some cornrows to help with my stretch. I really want to go to 3 months and beyond if possible. Actually, I am put off from relaxing my hair again due to a recent new stylist causing a chemical burn on my neck was so severe the scar is still very visible. I know it will fade but I need to cover it up until then due to it's unsightliness. I'm still very upset over this.

Excellent for clarification. I've seen this question a gazillion times. I actually am wearing a bun today and plan to rock buns for a while (after having a trim). I figure since I gave my ends a new start, I want to do more to keep em' healthy. Braid outs are fun, but I have a goal to reach and my hair groans when I wear it curly too much. lol

I do buns everyday at work. If I come in here with my hair out, everyone makes a big deal. It is so funny!

Braid outs and me don't seem to mesh well.

I know exactly what you ladies mean. Sometimes braid outs can do more harm than good to your hair. I guess it just depends on the technique that you use as well. I tend to wear buns more than anything else because it's the easiest and my hair stays moist longer just like you Dani.

Thank you for your feedback ladies :-)

yeah.
i love my twist-outs BUT i've noticed my hair isn't retaining much length.

so.. back to buns. ugh
maybe i'll take today and figure out how to do more than just the one bun i know how to do.. lol.

i'll move twist-outs into the special occasions category and move flat ironing into the blue moon category.

2010-01-30T12:23:19.984-05:00

I just dont like when the ends of the twist out or braid out seem dry when you separate it even though its not and you see little hairs falling. Im wearing a twist out now. Maybe I separated it too much? I dunno.

Hmm. I love braid outs but they can cause some hair breakage. I'm a throw it in a bun girl, primarily. I really do wanna master rollersetting and pin curling though. Ehh. I just need to practice.

2010-01-29T17:47:23.192-05:00

I personally don't even consider braidouts/twistouts low manipulation. I've seen many women rip their hair out trying to achieve the perfect braidout. I even stopped doing braidouts for a while because I felt I was losing more hair than if I were to just pull it back into a bun and forget about it. They get really knotty to as the day or week goes on, especially if you have fine hair, when it comes time to detangle it's always a chore.

Low manipulation styles also require little to no combing, hence you are not manipulating the hair.

i really need to figure out the wigs thing because i don't really know how to wear one! but i have seen them grow out peoples' hair before due to no manipulation...
