In July 2010 I.M.I. held a giveaway that asked readers to suggest topics that they would like to see on the blog. The following topic was inspired by one of those suggestions:

| Protective style: Consists of cornrows and twists |
I have found over time and through experience that styling natural hair in cute protective styles can be more fun when you are able to do what I call the basic foundations. For most protective styles the basic foundations consist of cornrows, flat-twists, braids, and/or two strand twists. There are a vast number of tutorials on YouTube than can help with developing those skills. The key is to find the right tutorial that explains without confusing the technique further. Here are a few that I found helpful:
How to do Cornrow Braids Senegalese Twist Braids Flat Two Strand Twists (flat twisting starts around 1:30)
If these tutorials are not to your liking, YouTube has a slew of others that you can choose from. It is likely that if you are able to do some of the techniques above there are many styles that you should then be able to achieve.
Happy Styling ♥
