EllePixie Kinda' sorta. I co-wash at night and then pull my hair up in one big bantu knot at the top of my head to dry some over night and stretch it some. Then take it down in the morning put it into that bun you see above.

NikStar Exactly the regimen I'm working towards. I wash nightly already n want to get the point where I can airdry n stretch my hair in a bun overnight.

itismehmmkay Yea, once I reached BSL, there were a lot of little "quick fix" protective styles and what I call "prep" styles I discovered. By prep styles, I mean a style that is cool enough to wear out, ultimately will be turned into another hairstyle. :lol: I'll have to do a blog about it...

:yep: I have to do prep styles if I want to look half way decent on the weekend for spontaneous social activities. My prep for next weekend starts tomorrow where I'm going to the salon to get two strand twists on blow dried hair. Next weekend, I'm doing a twist-out.

Please share other preps like the bun above. Love it.
 
So this is my hair after Air drying with no product. 10 Weeks Post:yep:

@sunnieb That is how you know your regimen is really working, when you "fail" at a style and your hair still looks great! I've had some fails lately, and none of them look that good.

misslaraj - Thank you!

Would you believe that last week I haphazardly twirled up some bantu knots and it was so pretty the next day. Well, last night, I carefully put in the knots and tied them down. I ended up with a big crimp down the middle that was just :nono:. Luckily I always have a clip of some kind in my purse!
 
Hair today:

turban-esque wrap with the front left out a little. my apologies for the lackluster photobooth quality.
 
I had it braided back to put under my knit cap yesterday.


Today, I let the puff out and just wore it like this.

You'd think I'd go home after it poofed up and shamed me publicly??? Naaaw :lachen: Nope. Stayed and got a teeny bit drunk

ETA: I've been just fingercombing my rollerset w/ some grease instead of combing them out. I'm anticipating when I'll get to my last few months of my stretch and won't want to risk combing my hair when it's not wet.

Here's the style I'm rocking today. I got these done at The Nappy Parlor here in Atlanta last Friday. My goal is to grow my natural poofy curls to waist length again.

KalenaNatural - you look similar to my sister!!! :blush:
 
This has quickly become one of my favorite hairstyles. It's quick, easy, and IMO, looks really nice. I can wear it to work, on the weekends, or when going out with friends. There's a banana clip under there somewhere. :grin:

My DH says it looks like I have two different "grades" of hair. :rolleyes: As it gets bigger and bigger, I wouldn't be too surprised if people start thinking it's fake! :lol:
 
Work day hair. Party night hair.

A big poofy mess!

ETA: Ok, I don't why it came in upside down, but you can still see the mess:lachen::lachen::lachen:
