1. I usually put ORS carrot oil, ORS Olive Oil Lotion & Proclaim glosser throughout hair

2. strictly buns

3. again, buns, but sometimes I'll roll my ends up @ night & take them down in the morning for loose curls or put it up in a ponytail that has curly ends (cause I'm low maintenance). If my hair is feeling really lucky, I'll wear it 1/2 up in a bun and the rest down.
 
1) I apply my products (ElastaQP Mango Butter or any other type of moisturizer) while my hair is still wet and allow it to air-dry with the product. I never wait until it's dry first to apply products.

2) I try to do as much styling while my hair is still wet, I have a hard time styling my hair after it's dry.

3) Definitely the mango butter and big braids or twists make my hair easier to mangage when air drying. If I put my hair in one or two large braids, it keeps it pretty detangled.

1) I apply Wild Growth Oil to my hair after airdrying, also a bit of S-Curl activator

2) I put my hair in a bun after that about 90% of the time

3) The Mane N Tail conditioner (although it's applied when the hair is still wet) helps to prevent shedding/breakage. Also, wearing my hair in a protective style minimizes combing which also minimizes hair loss

After I airdry I use S-Curl and Nature's Blessing hair grease. The combination leaves my hair soft and smelling good ;)

After I wash, I airdry my hair in four sections with 4 rollers. This way, my air dryed hair is NOT bushy and fuzzy, and has a slight curl to it :). I wash and condition, then use a little leave in, preferably LUST for moisture and slip. I then section my hair into 4 ponytails and secure with little black rubberbands. I use end papers and big sized rollers with the wire in it and roll each pigtail. If u want, you can put a little grease on the ends. To prevent catching a cold, I go under the dryer like this for at most 30minutes. In the morning, I spray with S-Curl and wipe a little grease through my hair. Voila, soft airdried hair.
*Note*- If I want to wear my hair in a silky wrap I would rollerset it
;)
 
I usually do a "controlled" airdry or otherwise I have a wild & wavy look (which I sport a lot during the summer) and I use a creamy leave-in and moisturizer.

When I prepare my curly pony, buns, or up dos I usually use a creamy leave-in and a creamy moisturizer then pull it up, apply hair pins or add rollers (a roller pony sleeps very well).

When I air dry a wet wrap or partially air dry a roller set I use a creamy leave in and oil.
 
i put my oils and butters in while wet then slap it in a ''style'' for bed if i dont have a real one planned....my ''style'' lately is do that lil girl do with some down in the back and a ponytail in the top...i braid the loose hair in the back...oils and butters i use can be cocoa butter mixed with coconut oil to shea butter or wild growth oil or s curl(well that aint a butter or oil lol) or some of the stinky indian oil....

to ur last question...i cant answer...i get some kinda problem no matter what style i do...thats why i change so much
 
I airdry my hair in pigtails with rollers on the ends when I don't have a lot of newgrowth and in 4 ponytails when I do have a lot of newgrowth. I find that this eliminates much of the shedding that I usually get when I airdry loose or in a bun.
 
1. After your hair has airdried, what do you put in your hair afterwards? oil? lotions? cremes? etc.?
Usually, I put my products in while my hair is wet. Occasionally, if my hair seems particularly dry, I will put ORS Carrot Oil or Profectiv Break-free on my air dried hair.


2. Also, how do you style your hair after applying product to your hair? braid-out/twist-out? bun? rollers? etc.?

90% of the time I put it in a bun or ponytail (or two of each). The other 10% I do braid outs or pincurls (bantu knots).

3. And what product and style works best for your hair after airdrying? (cause less breakage, makes hair look better, etc.?)
NTM Serum and just a little Mango butter while wet with my hair dried in the ponytail method.

:scratchch Sounds interesting! I might have to try this some time so my ends don't look frizzy after airdrying! :)

To answer my own questions... :D

1. Before I airdry, I spray Surge on my scalp, Motions leave-in on my hair to detangle, and sometimes Salerm21 on my hair. I airdry with my hair down. After it is mostly airdried, I put S-Curl on my hair and sometimes WGO on my ends.

2. I usually style my hair in a bun. I sometimes do a braid-out if I'm not tired.

3. For now, S-Curl and the bun has been working best for me! ;)
 
1. Depending on what I'm doing after it's dry, I use either Biosilk Silk Therapy or IC Hair Polisher.

2. If I use Biosilk then I flat iron afterwards, if I just add some hair polish or nothing at all, it's because I airdried in rods and plan to wear it curly.

3. Both Biosilk and the IC Hair Polish make my hair soft and shiny, but you cant use too much Biosilk Silk Therapy because it has SD Alcohol 40 which can be drying.
 
1. To eliminate detangling after washing, i do an ACV rinse and sometimes use the lafier cream rinse. While my hair is still damp, i use either salerm 21 or NTM silk touch leave in cream
2. My hair airdries straight cos i use a fine tooth comb to comb while its damp. And my hair is always in a ponytail cos im not high maintenance
3. I tried elasta qp recovery, mango butter and bb castor oil moisturiser but those did not work. So now im trying ors olive oil
 
1. I add my products before drying: Breakfree and my mixture of Sta-Soft-Fro, Surge or Infusim, NTN leave-in, hot six oil, and water. This mixture gives me the moisturising properties of the Sta-Soft-Fro with out the greasiness or the smell (gives me bad 70's flashbacks:lol: ).

2. I usually dry in a bun and a baggie, but now my hair is long enough to look good in a bantu knots set. I've been bunning it for a year, so I may be wearing the knot set more often.

3. I mist with my moisturising mixture and/or NTM serum.

1. Most of my products such as a good moisturizing leave-in and just a little pomade (like Aveda) to seal in that moisture is on my hair while it's wet, before airdrying. Afterwards, I keep my ends well moisturized with Constant Care for Ends.

2. I enjoy rollersetting overnight to airdry.

3. After airdrying, I continue to keep my ends and hair moisturized. Since I wash twice each week, my hair stays moisturized from wash to wash. I usually style in braidouts and braided updos., done on airdried hair.
 
1. After your hair has airdried, what do you put in your hair afterwards? oil? lotions? cremes? etc.?
Nothing, I put olive oil in my hair while it's still wet - before it's dry. I do oil my ends every night with jojoba oil or olive oil before going to bed.

2. Also, how do you style your hair after applying product to your hair? braid-out/twist-out? bun? rollers? etc.?
I style my hair while wet in a bun or something similar to stretch the curls a little bit to make my hair more manageable.

3. And what product and style works best for your hair after airdrying? (cause less breakage, makes hair look better, etc.?)
I usually wear my hair in a bun for protection, but when it's dry I can wear it anyway I like - down, 1 braid, 2 braids or whatever I want.
 
I apply my products while my hair is still wet. Usually a creamy leave-in like NTM and CD hair milk. To keep my hair moisturized between washes i use either the hair milk, HHB or elasta qp mango butter.

Latelt i've been alternating between braidouts and flexi rod sets.

CD hair milk and healthy hair butter work really well with my hair. My braidout and flexi set work well because they eliminate having to manipualte my hair during the week.

1. usually nothing. I add my products when my hair is wet so usually i dont have to reapply anything afterwards.

2. twist, braids, twis/braid outs, bun etc.

3. My hair loves anything containing shea butter and loves to be in styles that dont require manipulation.
