I'm new to this thread. Just wanted to say hello! To everyone. I'm a curly. I'm a 2b, With a couple of 3a curls mixed in. Right now my hair issue is probably the fact that if I put my hair up dry or wet, but wet especially, the crown goes completely straight after several hours. Any support or ideas to remedy this? I would like to be able to get off work and not have to re wet my whole head in the shower to bring back the curls.

Clipping it at the roots (curly girl method).

the way i do it is to take little bits of it, twist loosely and clip them with little clips. because you don't have gravity pulling on it as much, it keeps the volume. lemme see if I can find a pic

not exactly the way I do it, but pretty close: http://www.mydevacurl.com/curly_life...vaclips_uplift

(couldn't find a pic, but the link is better, has demos)

Welcome calmyogi, love your username!

There is a technique where you use clips to lift the hair on either side of your part so that it has more lift at the roots. I think it really only works whilst drying the hair, I'm not sure it would work to bring curls back on already dry hair...

Could you try a looser updo, or one which does not involve twisting the hair, even a sock bun might allow you to let it down and still have some curl left to enjoy.

Quixii! Omg, so so gorgeous. I hope my curls grow up to be just like you!

Curlycap and Quixii... (bowing) I'm not worthy! Floor jaw dropping gorgeous.

Why is it may hair looks fab right now and I'm going to bed. I took it down to massage my scalp and my curls are perfectly boingy....time to put it in a pineapple though.

Ya I looked it up, and your right, that's not quite what I'm looking for. I think that my only option is to co wash at night abd go to bed while my hair is still wet and drape it over the pillow. It's just so cold in the winter time that I don't like doing this and I'm afraid to diffuse my hair because of the damage. I started co washing and like what it does for my hair, but my scalp gets greasy and itchy a lot sooner and I can't stretch my washes over more than once a day. Does anyone else have any luck with diffusing daily with none to very little damage?
