I found this lovely picture of my aunt and wanted to recreate the style. She took the picture in 1966, the year she passed away 
at only 19. The few pictures that the family still has of her of part of how we preserve her memory. Lucky me, I ended up with a picture of her, which I plan to have restored.
Today, I accidentally created a style that looked similar. I did not even notice that I did until my husband mentioned it. I wore my bantu knot-out all throughout last week against my best judgment to restyle toward the end of the work week. I knew I could not wear my hair out again this morning (can you say tangle city?)I pinned my hair up because my hairstyle was old, tangled and I didn’t have time to do it before church. One reason I think old styles turn out well for me is that I don’t worry about whether I mess up the curls or create frizz. Since there is nothing for me to lose, I am the most adventurous. This morning, this worked to my advantage.
Here is the process:
I dampened my hair, applied a dab of Hair and Scalp Serum and Aveda Brilliant humectant gel. I pinned with large hair pins ( I love these by the way). Within 5 minutes I was done styling my hair.

Very cute style! I love how we can be creative with our hair!
It’s so sad to hear that your aunt passed away at 19! She was so young. I know that really hurt the family, to lose a member so young.
