So I am not going to do an update everyday about this challenge but I will every now and then. I just wanted to give everyone an idea of what types of protective styles I will be wearing during the week M-F. I work in a very professional atmosphere so I can't really wear "afro-centric" hair. And the days that I do push the limits my hair is noticed...LOL. Most days I do a phony bun. You can purchase a fake bun from any beauty supply store for $10 bucks.
I simply put some EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on my ends and JAM on the front and back of my hair. Slick it up into a bun using a very SOFT brush to smooth my edges. If your hair is thicker you can use a comb (not wide tooth). Don't brush or comb to the ends of your hair just enough to smooth the edges.
I put my ponytail in. I braid the length. Wrap the braid into a bun and place the fake bun over top of my little braided nute. I then use extra hair pens for better hold. One thing to keep in mind is to make sure you purchase a bun large enough to fit over your own bun.
There you have a professional protective style that is sleek can literally be done in 5 mins or less. Enjoy my pics below. Throw on some cute earrings an interesting head band and wah-lah! Thanks guys.
