I have being experimenting with my mane these past weeks and here's what I learnt;

• Twist-outs:- For some reason my mane hates twist outs. After styling i have major shrinkage and at the ending of the day my ends are so knotted that detangling becomes a problem. 
• Braid outs:- Now, this I love!! I spend less time getting my hair done and shrinkage is minimal.
• Roller sets-  This style lasts for a week.To maintain the style I cover my hair with a satin scarf before bed and the next morning I fluff and go. Below are some pics of how I salvaged a bad hair day and my second attempt at a braid out

I wanted to revive a braid out but my ends were too dry. had to think of a protective style that would not waste time

... ended up with a headtie.

Next day, I came up with a bun that could protect my ends

   because my hair is still too short, to make a decent bun, I had to pin it up with hair pins and plaited the ends in.This protected my dry ends from the dry weather.

Braid out results.
