Top Knot Bun with Afro - 4C Natural Hair

The top knot bun has been a staple style for many years now. A simple top knot is classic, but there are many different ways to jazz it up. One way to do so is to wear half of your hair up in a bun then leave the rest down. This is nothing new, right? But how often do you see it with a fro? In my opinion, not often.  I typically see it on stretched hair(braid/twist out, blow dried, etc), straight hair or wavy hair. Because of that, I didn't think I could pull off the style because I prefer my shrunken natural hair. Well that was until I tried it.
Typically when I travel, I like to switch up my hair. So when I went to St. Lucia, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try the Top Knot with a Fro. 

Here's how it came out:

My Trip to Paris - 2016

Last week I got back from yet another amazing vacation. I went to #Paris, France and visited just about every tourist attraction you can think of. I also visited family/friends and did some serious shopping.
I'm still getting back to the hang of things, but wanted to share some pictures from the trip.
Let me just say that this protective style challenge came right in time. It is so much easier dealing with braids when traveling although I constantly miss my fro.

On to the pics:
