"style a day" challenge update

High mock bun with a simple Black headband on an old twist out.  I loved this style.  My hair was out of my face, it was easy to assecorize and the bun was very loose so that there was no headache involved


Hello there lovely people,

Well, I survived my "style a day" challenge.  The challenge was good because it made me try some new things.  However, I didn't like feeling compelled to wear a different style each day for a week.  Perhaps the challenge would feel a little less strict if I did less new styles per week.  One very nice thing about my challenge is that I found new styles that I quite like.  Actually, I ended up with the problem of having to change my hair each day because I found a couple of styles I wanted to repeat.  Two of my favorite styles (which came from Naptural85) were a high mock bun and a bohemian infinity twist.  The high bun was achieved by using a large elastic headband to pull all of my hair up toward the top of my head (I doubled the band so it would be tight enough to stay).  I then tucked the ends under and secured with bobby pins pinning around the headband in a mock bun.  I really liked this because I like buns, but they give me a headache from the tension.  The next style, the bohemian infinity twist, was achieved by making a slight side part and then making a flat twist around my head to the opposite side.  Once on the opposite side I ended the twist with a bit of hair left out (so I started the twist on the right side of hair and left a bit out on the left side).  At the end of the twist I two strand twisted the end as normal.  On the other side I made two flat twists going down and then braided the two flat twists and the large twist that came from the other side together.  This last style I really liked and it really did look bohemian.  I think I'll like it even better when my hair gets longer.  

So, I survived my style a day challenge, and I'm glad I did it.  I don't intend to do this particular challenge again, but maybe I will try a style a week challenge for a month.  I think in this challenge I will wear at least one new style a week.  

Let me know if you have tried any new styles that you really enjoy.
