I don't have a style to contribute but I'd like to say that's a very beautiful style!
I know there aren't very many of us on this board, but I thought I'd make a thread for styles for kinky hair. Also for shorter hair, especially since the shrinkage of kinky hair makes it functionally quite short even if it's not that short when stretched. Please contribute, anyone!
I have a few, and I'll put one hair style per post. I'll start off with this one:
This uses this kind of comb:

I really like it because it's hard to get combs with the teeth set close together into thick kinky hair.
The style is done on a medium size twist out (from about 25 twists).
Step 1: gather some hair from the front to middle sides of your hair, as if you were going to do a "half up" pony tail.
Step 2: twist or coil that hair and press it to the center of your head
Step 3: grab the hair from the bottom half of your head and bring it up and over the twist/pony/ball of the top half
Step 4: Push the whole bun down lower on your head
Step 5: Use the comb to hold in place, inserting from the top of the bun
Step 6 (optional): Fan out the bottom of the hair so it looks like an inverted fan.

Very pretty! It looks very polished and feminine.

I love it!
I have some bun styles I can share. None of them are my own of course, I just swipe everyone else's ideas and find ways to work them for me.
Okay actually... this is one I swiped from you mwedzi! Yours was a "mega bun," I just made mine smaller. It was a puff that I tucked and pinned the ends with bobby pins to make a bun.

That's a beautiful style!
Thanks everyone for the positive comments! Okay, here's another
I call this one the Flying Saucer bun:
How to:
- Do a small diagonal part in the front.
- Roll hair from the front on one side all the way around the head to the ear on the other side, bobby pinning as you go along
- Holding the roll just behind the ear, use your other hand to roll the other side back towards the ear
- Pinch the top of the two rolls together and clip (used small Flexi8 here) This leaves you with a ponytail just above the ear.
- Take the hair and ball/roll it up
- Pin at the bottom of the hair (used an xsmall Flexi8 here).
