    Well since your hair is relaxed and you go swimming make sure you always wear a swimming cap because the chlorine could really damage your hair.

    Last year i swam three times a week so some hairstyles i did were:

    low ponytail-my fav

    high ponytail

    sometimes i had my hair straightened

    but the best of all are braids. Any type of braids will do. Micro,box, anything as long as it isn't pulling too tight or causing too much stress.

    I know you say you don't like them but they do work.

    Theres pigtails

    and you could just curl your hair

    and even a cute messy bun will work

    as long as the hairstyle isn't too high maintenance it should be easy

    Also, wash your hair maybe 3-2 times a week since your in the pool alot and always keep it moisturized.

    Good luck

    hope i helped =)
