My 'No Time For Hair' Hairstyle

School is upon me!!! Summer is practically over which means back to the books, studying, projects and exams! And less free time for me things such as proper hair care.

On the curly hair website www.naturallycurly.com one reader asked about hair care during college semesters. Some ladies advised her to set aside a day just for hair (washing, deep conditioning, styling), which I agreed to but also added that she should also come up with 'no time for hair' hairstyle. A hairstyle which will give at least a week without having to De-tangle and re-style.

I think this style could be anything from braids, twists or just a bun, whatever style you like that will "take care of itself" when you can't.

My recently discovered 'no maintenance' style is the famous two-stand twist! Yes, I've fallen in love with this style. Not only for when I need a styling break either! I just enjoy styling it; there's countless ways to wear these mini twist.

I've created neat buns, messy buns, curls and curly ponytails (by adding rollers and letting it set overnight) and my most recent love: the messy bob. Neat 'bun'



Curly Ponytail: Twists curled and pulled up into a ponytail


Curls created by rollers (looked neater in real life)



Messy Bun


Messy bob. I tucked the longer layers of my hair underneath itself
and pinned it with a bobby pin. With the shorter layers
hanging out and a few twists pinned to the side, it made a cute style.
