By the way, a huge thank you to whoever mentioned Cisco on this board. I've never had blow drying so easy in my life and for the first time, there were no SSKs when I finished.

I'm horrible at taking pics of my own hair but this is today's simple style. Its a braidout ponytail on blowdried hair.

eta: The hair isn't fake, I "faked" the technique :lol:

Fake 9-strand Braid on blow dried hair. If I can get the french braids close enough, it should look like one braid. Need.more.practice.

My face looks MAD awkward LOL but here is a wash n go w/ Trader Joe's Nourish Spa and some Original Moxie Just Gel. This was freshly done, hadn't started to dry yet. My front section has ALWAYS been looser than my sides; my nape is the exact same way. So it makes for a real funky arse shape lol, I usually wind up fashioning some type of style with bobby pins so it doesn't look bananas.

@NikkiGirl, what do you use for your Wash n Go's?? Your hair is amaze-balls......!

Hey,

I use conditioner mostly. I add the conditioner in the shower and rake it through with my hands. I let it airdry and I don't touch while drying. I pretty much get pretty consitent results. I tried a sample pack of Miss Jessie's Curly Meringuq and actually liked it. It got horrible reviews online, but I got almost the same result as using conditioner, but much more shiny. I don't like that is has mineral oil in it though. Sorry so long. :grin:
 
This style's a little fuzzy - I can't take my buns down for 2-3 days as a requirement of the Braid, Bun, Twist Challenge. I'll try to remember to take a pic on day 1 of the style.

Medieval-inspired Crown Braid:

For those who asked, this is what a "real" 9-strand braid looks like:

As opposed to my fake:

Oh, I thought you were saying it was fake hair. I love your styles. You keep it so versatile.

My bad :blush:

My hair is pretty dense, so I have to blowdry just to be able to do these styles. My fingers get all tangled up in my un-stretched natural hair - it's just too big and bulky. Trying to add even more hair would really mess me up!

I cleared up my initial post, thanks for pointing it out.
 
My updo for today:

Didn't care for my flat twistout, so I did a Bun inspired by a YouTube video that linked in one of the threads.
