When my hair is straight, I usually pin curl at night. Now that I'm transistioning, I wear my hair in various protective styles so when I'm wearing a braidout and twistout, I either tuck my hair under and pin it or get a few small perm rods and leave them in the ends of my hair overnight.

sometimes I'll do a cross-wrap or I comb my hair straight back and place a scarf over it: and i'll place my hair w/ part of the scarf in a ponytail.

Most nights I do a loose bun or twistout. Sometimes I crosswrap on rollerset hair and pin curl the ends.

What is a crosswrap? I've seen that referenced here a couple of times and I have no idea what that is.

i just put it in a loose ponytail. I think a crosswrap tutorial is in KhandiB's fotki.

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Okay, I got it! Wow... Thanks again Intergalacticartist and Khandi B for such a simple tutorial. That looks so easy and much less manipulation involved. I'm going to give this a try very soon.

That makes all the sense in the world. When I do a crosswrap, my ends never lay straight. It never occurred to me to pincurl them. I'll try that next time - great idea!

Typically I wrap, I simply wrap in alternating directions and take breaks 2x a week to avoid brekage.

Otherwise, I do 6 pin curls or I separate it into section and roll each one into a roll and pin. The next morning I take down the two sections and I have nice waves.
