Dear Nikki:
What is your go to dry hairstyle – non-puff?” For example, you have an old dried-up twist out or one that didn’t come out well and you need to run to the mall or to to pick up your kid from school/preschool and you want to look a little cute but don’t want to wear a tired puff. What do you do in a pinch?

I’ve been quite lazy lately, and a tired bun has been my style of choice. On more creative days, I’ve done this with a worn out set:
I’ve been jazzing up my bun lately with a sexy pomp in the front. I’ve done that 2 days in a row now with tons of compliments. My pomp makes me feel super fierce, so I put on heavy eye liner…total rock star 😉 I promise to take a pic next time! By the bye, Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade really is a great edge slicker! It works like gel without the stiffness or the flakies!
I'm currently transitioning (14 months post)but when my braidouts look dried up or don't come out right, I'll pin down the sides and turn it into a faux hawk.
I like to accessorize with cute hair flowers/interesting hair clips on a curly loose bun.
buns and flowers are always feminine. beautiful flowing ethnic scarves tied gypsy style are always a great accessory option 4 me as well.
I wish I could get my hair to look as good as yours on my bad days!
Your hair looks absolutely gawwwjusss!!! I wear a pretty headwrap or a cool hat (LOL I don't like dealing with my hair)!
Your consider that a bad hair day? I'm jealous in a good way of course. I can only imagine your good hair days? I would rock that in a heart beat with a little mascara and my signature lipgloss….
Thanks for posting my question. I tried the pompadour and it's pretty cool. I do tend to wear more makeup when I feel like my hair just isn't working.
your hair's so fabulous I just love how it shines and seems to stay moist @ all times…you are doin' it and doin' it well…u betta work!
Your hair looks grrrrrreat! BTW what is a pomp?
Your hair look great. I just started wearing my natural hair…I was wearing tracks to let it grow out. Now I wear the same hair style all the time….I need to learn how to manage my hear and keep it looking healthy.
a pomp is short for pompadour, basically when you wear a "bump" or pouf in the front of your hair. I part my bangs off, then pull the hair away from my face and pin it towards the crown of my head so it's tall/big.
Ever seen the "bump it" hair tool? that is a modern take on the pomp.
Nik–I thought you said a little Shea Butter does the trick re slicking the edges?
