Roll and Pin Hairstyle (Protective Style)

Natural Hairstyle – Two Strand Twist Updo

With only 5 minutes to get my hair looking decent for a book launch at Alhambra Inn, I started rolling my hair into one circular flat twists. The style you see in this post is what I came up with.

How to Achieve this Style

1. Part hair on on side. 
2. Starting on that side, create a flat twist going upwards. This can be a flat two-strand twist or just a flat  roll.
3. Take the roll from one side and continue to the back and around to the top of the other side as though trying to create a circle. 
4. Pin to secure the twist as needed. 
5. stop the twist when only a few twists at the front of the hair is free and secure the end of the roll with a pin.

This roll aspect of this style was inspired by the following video tutorial from Alicia James. I did something a little different with the front. Just let me know if you'd like me to do my own tutorial to show you exactly what I did  when I got to the front.
