How do you set, style, and keep great looking healthy SL hair you want to wear out

[fluffylocks]

I just got my hair cut blunt and even to about 4 inches from shoulderlength. I want to grow it to, and keep it at shoulderlength.
Ive never been able to. Longer hair is easier to me because of braidouts and for some reason i can preserve it in between washings better if i use heat. Hair SL and shorter is so hard for me.


1. How do you dry the hair? What products and tools do you use? (I cant personally cant rollerset good)



2. Do you use a flatiron? How often? Products? (wondering if a flatiron 1x a week will be bad)


3. How do you preserve the hair at night? (wrap, pincurls, rollers?)


4. What products do you use to moisurize and oil and how often do you?


5. What products if any do you use for your edges and shine?


6. How often do you wash it?


7. What type of comb and brushes do you use?

Are you natural or relaxed? Do you keep your hair straight or natural?

Natural.

I Keep it natural- In the past I have straightened the front for a sew in or something like that.

I'm natural and my hair in its natural shrunken state fluctuates between a little longer than SL and almost APL depending on the products I use and the weather. I also do not straighten (haven't done so in 2 years).

1. How do you dry the hair? What products and tools do you use? (I cant personally cant rollerset good)
I air dry (in twists for a twistout) 85% of the time. If pressed for time I diffuse on the cool setting.
My staple products are Shea Moisture Raw Shea Shampoo, Shea Moisture Deep treatment Masque, KCKT, KCCC, unrefined shea butter


2. Do you use a flatiron? How often? Products? (wondering if a flatiron 1x a week will be bad)
I do not flat iron my hair.

3. How do you preserve the hair at night? (wrap, pincurls, rollers?)
4 loose twists with a stain scarf wrapped around them.

4. What products do you use to moisurize and oil and how often do you?
Once a week I detangle and moisturize with KCKT. Once my hair is almost dry, I seal with unrefined shea butter. I may add a bit (ie. nickle sized dollop) more shea butter through out the week (it all depends on how my hair feels). If my hair starts to get fuzzy, I splash with water (no additional product).


5. What products if any do you use for your edges and shine?
I use pure argan oil (not that stuff filled with silicone) on my edges. The skin around my edges is very acne/white head prone. Argan oil is light and doesn't break me out. I use shea butter for sheen (and when I use shea butter I'm using it sparingly. I'm not putting globs on, it would be hard to wash out if I did).

6. How often do you wash it?
1x per week

7. What type of comb and brushes do you use?
I don't comb or brush. I only use a comb to switch my part. I am an exclusive finger comber.

1. How do you dry the hair? What products and tools do you use? (I cant personally cant rollerset good)
I just let it air dry in big braids or twists.


2. Do you use a flatiron? How often? Products? (wondering if a flatiron 1x a week will be bad)

I don't use heat. I haven't used heat in my hair since 2006.


3. How do you preserve the hair at night? (wrap, pincurls, rollers?)
I wear protective styles all the time since forever....I just go to sleep lol. I have a satin pillow case and satin sheets....


4. What products do you use to moisurize and oil and how often do you?

I use world of curls curl activator gel, aloe vera gel and world of curls comb out spray. I use the two gels to style my hair and then as needed I will mix the comb out spray with aloe juice and a little oil to re-moisturize.

5. What products if any do you use for your edges and shine?

None. If I am making a puff I will use aloe vera gel but I haven't worn a puff in almost 7 months...

6. How often do you wash it?

anywhere from once every two weeks to once a month....

7. What type of comb and brushes do you use?

I use my fingers most of the time...sometimes I will break out my magic star jumbo rake comb....
