I also have been trying out different hairstyles that others with natural hair can recreate. This is one I did yesterday and it was easy to do and I did the twists and braids type big so they can be manageable.
The Corkscrew
I braided my hair at the roots so it can stay then twisted the rest. I also did my bangs if I want I can undo them and have the bangs like a curly twist out. I cornrowed (still learning) the front portion and twisted the back.
