Summer Protective Style: Flat Twists into a Curly Bun

Hello all! I am working to keep my hair protected but cute at the same time! As you know, last week I wore medium twists. They lasted for 5 days. Then I wore a flat twist out for 2 days over the weekend. On Saturday night, I wanted to think of another style to wear for this week. I co-washed my hair on Thursday night so I didn't feel the need to wash it again before doing this style.


How did I do this style?
I took a section in the front, applied flax seed gel and coconut oil and detangled with my fingers. Then I proceeded to make 5 large, diagonal flat twists .Then I pulled the rest of my hair into a high pony tail. I moisturized the pony tail with flax seed gel and coconut oil. Then I put 10-12 flex-rods in my pony tail. I tied it up and called it a night! The next day I wore a curly ponytail for church... But for it to be a "true" protective style I pulled it into a bun Sunday night!

How long do I expect this to last?


I would like this to last until Thursday so a total of 5 days.






How do I plan to maintain this style? 
I will tie it up every night and re-moisturize with water and coconut oil if needed. At night I can lay down the edges with flax seed gel. 

What gave me the idea for this style?


When I did my flat twist out I thought the flat twists looked super cute! So I decided to incorporate them into my next style. Best of all, I don't have frizz in the front of my hair! Futhermore, it keeps the front of my hair protected as well as the back of my hair.
