Going out vs staying in is absolutely my hair. I've had to learn to embrace the untamed look.

When you cousin who has 1a SL hair tries to tells you how to "properly" take care your your hair. This of course consists of a thorough shampoo and condition each morning, followed by blow drying and straightening. I didn't have the heart to tell her the I don't even own a hair dryer... just smile and nod, boys.

May be she is not 1a after all if she needs blow drier and straightener to maintain her hair. A lot of people with wurly texture hadn't recognized it except when they grew their hair longer.

I'm currently using LOC after shampoo/condition. More information here: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...d.php?t=118167

Has anyone used this method to bring out waves or *gasp!* help straighten hair while drying it? Usually, if I want my hair to dry fairly straight, I would damp bun it overnight and then let it air dry the next day. Now, damp bunning helps enhance the curls (I got CURLS!) when I LOC.

I use Shea Moisture JBCO leave-in (strengthen and grow leave-in), coconut oil and Sally Beauty's GVP knock-off of the SM Coconut/Hibuscus Curling & Style Milk when I LOC. I LOVE the way my hair feels when I use this combo, but I'm wondering if I can get a straighter look using this method, just as a change in style. Ideas?

ETA: Well, got an answer to my last question this morning! It appears that the texture of my hair dry, after I damp bun it the night before, depends on which bun I use. Go figure...

That's pretty amiraaah! You're about waist? I think you can call it.

Stretched is what counts in my book, so...

Amiraaah, I'm with Lapushka! Your hair is just hitting the top of your belt in your picture!

And yes, by Christmas, you can DEFINITELY call it solidly at waist! Congratulations!

You're welcome. I understand that you want to wait, and that's perfectly fine, but I think you can "sneak around" the waist to tailbone length thread already, for sure!
