Thanks ladies, lol at some of ur comments! To get it to last I basically oiled it with Keracare Essential Oils every 3 days or so, curl by curl and lightly finger combing through the ends to prevent knotting. I'd wind them back up with my finger or they just sprung into place. I'd also separate the curls every fews or so. I slept with the ends tucked under a net or in a high loose pony as pictured both with a loose scarf. When doing my cardio every morning I'd just leave the net on and my hair would be very wet from all that sweating. After I showered it had usually dried so then I'd take off the net and really shake my hair about. That alleviates any flatten curls. The net use to squash two curls at the front so I used to hype hair satin rollers to re-roll those two on two ocassions, other than that I did not re-roll. Good luck if you choose to try it.
