I flat-ironed, oiled and put my APL hair in three pincurls under a silkscarf. This morning, I brushed out the pincurls and my hair was very curly and shiny. I used two bobby pins - one for each side. I secured each side with one bobby pin in the middle and I had a cascade of shiny bouncy curls. It is a pretty style because the front and sides are straight and shiny due to the flat-ironing and oil. The protective benefit is very little manipulation and the ends are somewhat protected because of the curls. I am going to push back a wash and wear this style a few extra days to get the benefit of my Indian oils throughout my hair. You ladies probably already do this, but it was interesting to me.
I am glad that you found my silk wrap thread interesting.
