Hello ladies,
I noted in my last hair update that I am 14 weeks post and have a lot of new growth.
I had an outing and had to find a style that would work with my natural roots and relaxed ends.
I ‘am not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I actually don’t really enjoy wearing my hair down. One of the main reasons I wanted long hair so badly was because I wanted my up-do’s to be huge and massive.
So whenever I have a lot of new growth, I see it as an opportunity to create hairstyles inspired by all the beautiful natural haired ladies I stalk online.
I created and wore this style to a Nikkah last weekend and decided to do a pictorial of it to share with you.
You should be able to re-create this style with collar bone length hair and longer.
Ladies with shorter hair can get creative and come up with similar styles using hair pins.

THE FINISHED LOOK
HAIR + STYLE
What do you think? Would you rock this natural hair inspired protective style?
I have a great post coming up very soon.
I’ve been so eager to share some pictures since August but wasn’t able to for reasons I will explain.
At last, I am able to share them with you all.
(hint – they are pictures of some of the wigs in the Hair by Type 4- R Collection)
Hopefully you’ll be back soon to see them.

Hmm. Me likeyyy. Very nicely done and very protective too :D. I’m with you on updos as well as i glow (my pet word for sweat) very easily and with this Nigerian weather, hair around my neck is just not it. i guess the more (longer) hair one has, the more you can do with it really. Long hair has to bring out the creativity in you for sure.

Hello Tolu
Thank you so much.
I think I am going to start saying glow instead of sweat. Yes hair sticking to my neck can get really irritating. There are loads of styles you can dream up and create with long hair but there are also tons of styles that can be done with short to medium hair.
some styles even look better on shorter hair, in my opinion.
happy hair journey

LOL @ “glow ” – more ladylike eh? Hmm, since my last comment i’ve been you-tubing quite a bit and there is amazing info out there. I was thinking to myself “people have time oh” i’m not complaining though, there’s a lot to learn and its better to learn from others’ experience rather than fumbling and stumbling on one’s own. Loads of SL protective styles so i’m good.
Love this hairstyle! It looks so classy and Victorian like. I will have to try this when I wash out my straight look.
BeautifuLLLLL!
