Daily hair styling techniques- What is every one doing?

[vevster]

I spritz my hair with water via a fine mister, coat my hands with hair oil and proceed to moisturize and style my wash and go with my fingers and sometimes a pick.

Curious as to what others are doing?

I got knotless braids yesterday.

I am spraying my hair at night with sulfur 8 medicated braid spray and oiling my scalp with my jbco mix. I will wash my hair biweekly with diluted shampoo and conditioner

I've been wearing braids for the past 7 months. I changed the style to longer braids, in November, and since then, I've managed to wash my hair once a month (although I wanted to do this more often). I don't moisturise daily or anything because I can't get past it not causing build-up, but when I feel/ see about half an inch of new growth (or slippage), I take down a single braid, apply a CRN leave-in, seal with a butter (shea or bacuri) and rebraid. I guess the only thing I do daily is wrap my hair in silk to sleep lol.

With twist outs i shake and go in the morning, pull it into a low ponytail under a bonnet at night. I aim for product combos that last for the week so I don't moisturize my hair mid week unless I've sweat it out and need to restyle.

I set my straight hair with bantu knots overnight and style as desired in the morning.

My hair is either in flat twist or 2 strands. I put on a cap at night and take it off in the morning and that is about it. Every now and then if my 2 strands get wonky I may fluff them. If the weather is warm, after about 7 days I will run water over them so they hang better.

I am curious to see if I can wear a twist out with minimum effort. I know my wash and go is too much effort which is why I stay in twist most of the time.

I don’t style my hair daily. But every other day, I spritz with Aphogee Pro Vitamin leave in, moisturize with Oyin Hair Dew, and seal with avocado oil. I usually keep my hair in two pinned up Dutch braids. When I need to go out and look cute, I take them down and wear a braid out. My hair goes back in the two braids when I’m in the house.

Mini twists or two braids, both styles last two weeks. These low maintenance styles just work for me. I don't have to touch my hair every day and it still looks good.

I dont have to leave the house today, so I experimented.
I just created what I'd call a "struggle fro".
My hair growth patterns & textures won't let me be great!!!


Makeup helped the overall look a bit but.....

I used the BB foam wrapping lotion for my most recent wash and go. This foam left my hair too soft to just sleep all Willy Nilly. Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep with a buff last night. I lost a bit of definition underneath in the back, and I was afraid that would lead to tangles and single strand knots. So this morning I coated my dry and unwashed hair in more BB foam wrapping lotion and air dried it.

I can’t say if that was the best decision. My hair is even softer feeling and much bigger. At least I won’t have to deal with tangles.

Putting a headwrap on in the morning

Tbh, I haven't had much time or energy to think about my hair. Imma get back to it, in a minute.

Morning ritual: take off durag and spray shine spray

Nightly ritual: soften cast with keratin leave in, apply moisturizer and gel down the front. Grease the ends and baggy overnight only.

I know it sounds crazy, but I use the concentrator nozzle on my Dyson dryer to stretch my wash-n-go or twistout back into place almost every day after my workout. Sometimes I add a serum for shine.

it seems to be frowned upon and I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, but I’ve seen no impact on my hair’s health or length retention doing it.

Lately I have been wearing my hair in pinned up chunky twists. Every few days I'll take the teists down and moisturize and then retwist. When I need to look cute I wear a twist out, and retwust the next day. I can maintain my hair like this for two weeks between washes.

Morning: Use whatever I feel my hair needs in the a.m. (L, O, C, or B) - under my wig cap
During the Day: PS - Wiggin' It
Evening: Whatever my hair needs before I tie it up for the night (L, O, C, or B)

everything depends on how my hair feels

What does the B stand for in your routine?

Oh thanks lol. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what the B meant. I knew what the LOC meant but the only thing that came to mind for B were braid or buns but I was like that can't be it considering the context lol.

I'm currently wearing mini twists. Mostly keeping my hair in a loose top knot since I don't want to put too much stress on my crown area.

 

[BeautifulRoots]

I wear my hair blow dried in about 8-10 large braids. When going out, I unravel for a wavy braidout. Before going to bed, I rebraid them so the braidout remains defined next time I unravel. Add some oil to the ends every few days.

I put in Bantu knots a few weeks ago. I let them down so they naturally separate during the daytime. I put in 2-5 buns at night. Every 1-2 weeks I have detangled, as needed and remoisturized when needed. A moisturizer has to keep my hair supple and tangle-free for at least a week to remain in my rotation. On a day when I wash my hair or detangle/moisturize it, I may slightly change my style(for example adding twists). My hair takes less than 5 minutes to let down day-to-day and can be put in a buildable state on wash day that will last for weeks in less than 2 hours.
