[Tutorial] Mini Twist High Bun

I have protective-style-phobia. #Ijustmadethatwordup Feel free to judge me. But it's true. I gush about all kinds of braids and twists. Box braids, Marley twists, Senegalese twists, Crochet braids. You name it, I lust for it. I pin hundreds of styles on Pinterest, I even encourage others to get them. Will you see me in the braiding chair? Probably not. I'm just wack like that. I can't commit to long term protective styles to save my life and I'll whine about every expect of the process. Installation takes too long. Removal is too difficult. What if I get bored. Aren't they heavy? Who gonna help me wash these thangs? What about my edges, y'all? <insert eyeroll> I told you I was wack. In all honesty, I just love having complete access to my hair.

I adore the look but not enough to commit. Enter, my mini twist high bun. Part faux twist. Part ultra cool protective style. So simple that a very stylish sassy and sophisticated cave woman could do it. The steps are easy peasy. But first, order in takeout and cue up your DVR, its going to take at least an hour or two. Here's how I did mine:

1. Starting with detangled, moisturized, and sealed hair, section into 1/4"-1/2" squares.
2. Twist hair from tip to ends. Repeat a gazillion times. (Exaggeration. Maybe just a million)
3. Once all of your hair is twisted pull up into a high pony then wrap the ends around into a bun.
4. Secure flyaways with bobby pins. (You'll need a lot of pins!)

Will mini twists cure my braid fever? Probably not. But it's a start!

Besitos!
