Been a LOOONG Time! Need advice, please!

I haven't posted here in years, but I lurk like crazy.

Anyhoo, I'm a 3C with jet black hair. I'm taking MSM and Biotin with decent results. I'm about 1-2 inches away from bra strap.

I have finally found my HG products (other than my deep cond., which has been DC'd). I normally wash, blow dry & flat iron 2 or 3x per week, and I lightly oil my ends 2/3 times a day. [I KNOW that's loads of heat, and therein lie my question(s).]

I'm struggling to find a way to do the following without looking like a HAM:

1) Air dry (overnight) so that I can have a slicked back, smooth bun for the workday. I use a scarf now to tie it down, but the crown still gets puffy no matter what I do!

2) Have a cute, curly (defined curls) updo that I can wash & style in the morning before work.

I'm hoping that some 3C ladies here can direct me to some You Tube Channels or Fotkis?

I'm trying to cut back on my blow drying & flat ironing. If Sylver2 can grow out her hair to her waist then I CAN TOO!

THANKS!

I airdry during the day, meaning, cowash in morning before work, slick hair down, with condish and maybe some oil and gel around edges. Then wear a scarf til I get ready to leave for work...am looking forward to the answer to #1 as well.

2- have you tried a braid out over night? you will get nice waves that u can put up into an updo

I want to know the same thing! I am trying to cut down on my heat but if I airdry I look crazy in the morning and my head is to big to be wearing buns with my hair slicked back
