Ok so you washed your hair with conditoner, rinsed, now what? Do you rollerset, airdry, or flat iron or a combination of the three?
 
After I co wash ...I use a leave-in and a little coconut oil and airdry in braids...Then after it drys I wear a braid out or I bun.....I just started to letting it dry loose and throwing on a soft headband..too

I know some people here wet bun it or clip their hair up wet.....I've never done this ....B/c some women get breakage from this and some don't...Just my luck I'll be one that hair starts breaking

I usually bun with either a sock bun or a sponge bun soaked in olive oil, tie down with a silk scarf and go to bed. I add either NTM or ORS Moisturizer to my wet hair before I bun. I also smooth my edges with a little (very little) bee's wax and Castor oil. And/or African Essence LITE HOLD spritz. I use about three squirts because my hair does not like any type of gel. It's very light and does not flake or become hard. This is what I always do after cowashing and I am relaxed and several months post and my hair lays down and is very soft and has major slip!
 
I halfway kind of detangle in the shower with the water and my fingers. I leave a little conditioner in as I rinse it. When I get out I smooth it down the best I can with my palms and some vaseline and put it in a bun.
No real combing required and as a result, no breakage either. I'm able to smooth it down more with a soft brush after it dries completely, and if I want to feel especially pretty I'll put on a phony pony. If not I'll just rock the bun and a headband.
 
What I have been doing lately is poo'ing my hair, then once out of the shower, I use my profectiv anti breakage moisturizer. Then I seal with a mixture of virgin coconut oil and castor oil over my whole head, but concentrating most of the oil mixture on my ends. Then I bun it and tye it down with my scarf and let it air dry.

For those who do braid outs, do you cornrow your hair or just individual braids. Everytime I try to cornrow, it seems my hair gets really tangled. I know part of it is because I am not good at corning rowing, but can you all help me with this braid out thing.:ohwell:

I don't know how to cornrow...so I do individual braids ...it comes out good everytime
