As promised, I've started experimenting with different styles that are simple to do, but are a good change.
Today, I got the idea from a magazine to turn put in a ponytail and then kind of "flip into itself." I hope you like it.
I like it! Its very easy to do and is great for hair that needs to be washed. The only thing is that my ends are very exposed in the position they're in, so still this isn't a style I would wear everyday.

Hairstyle Experimenting
I have been wearing my hair curly for months now. My main style has been braid outs and twist outs. This is getting pretty boring for me and now that my hair is straight I realize that I've missed it.
Now I want to experiment with updos and different ways to wear my hair up and off my shoulders. The only thing is that I'm not that creative in this department so this is going to take a lot of experimenting.

Cross-Wrap
As my hair grows longer, and it gets fuller, it becomes increasingly difficult to wrap my hair. So I was trying to think of an alternative method to the usual wrapping. I need something that will maintain the straightness and keep my ends from frizzing, but also be easy to do.
So, I was thinking and thats when I remembered a alternative method called cross-wrapping. When you regularly wrap you hair you're forcing your hair in one direction around your head, causing a lot of tension on your edges.
With cross-wrapping, instead, you're basically placing your hair on the other side of your head allowing for it to stay straight without all the tension.
I did the method today when I got home, because I wanted to take a nap and its still wrapped up, so I'm not to sure how its going to turn out. It was a bit tricky because of the shorter parts of my head kept falling, but I believe that it'll come out alright.
