Finally I'm taking the time to post pictures of some of my favorite hairstyles. Since winter will be here before you know it, I thought I would start with twists. Initially, I didn't like wearing my hair in twists. I think that was because I didn't know how to make them look nice and I always felt like I looked more like a guy when I wore them. Then I realized that if I made them very small and set them on rods, so the ends would curl, then they were kinda cute!
Now I love twists! It takes me about 6 hours (or longer if I'm watching TV or otherwise distracted), but I can wear them for about a month and then take them down and wear a twistout for 2 or 3 weeks, so it's well worth the additional styling time! It's a great protective style since it gives your hair a break from being handled on a regular basis. Plus, there's no detangling process when you wash twists, so that's a HUGE benefit. When the winter hits and that Chicago wind is brutally cold, I can tie a satin scarf around my twists and wear a wool cap when needed. So this fall & winter, I think I will be wearing my series of hairstyles below.

If your hair is long enough, you can also pull all the twists up into a clip for a sophisticated bun or roll. At the time, those two different clip colors seemed like a good idea :-)
For a 6 hours worth of up-front work, I get about 6 worth of hairstyles. My hair products are constantly changing, but right now I'm loving Qhemet Alma & Olive Heavy Cream to create my twists. It's definitely heavy and moisturizing and I think it's perfect for the winter. Also, I'll spritz my twists with a liquid leave-in whenever they start to feel a little dry.
