I couldnt get a good fit under the dryer so at one point when the top was dry they took those out so that I get more of my head in and then the bottom was able to dry. All in all I think it looks okay. I like BIG hair and it's not big. But I do think it's cute and it's a different look. It really looks a lot like finger coils. I'm going to see if I can stretch it out some how to make it a little bigger. If I did this again I would do it myself rather than go to the salon because the detangling was to much and the time was to long. At least at home I can multi task while I dry. I was almost ready to fight over the detangling, man I always have this problem, lol. I'm going to rock it till I can't anymore. I am going to continue to experiment with roller sets though because they are low manipulation. So next time I'm going to try bigger rollers. First pic is the process and right after it was done. Second pic is a better look day 1. third pic is day 2 after I worked out. I work out frequently and I sweat alot so we'll see how it holds up as time passes. It shrunk a little after todays workout. I'll post pics tomorrow and show what happened when I attempted to stretch my hair out.

I sweated my hair OUT!!!! Charge that to the game. Idk what I'm going to do next. I'm rocking a puff for now. Other than the water challenge anyone got any personal challenges going on for November. I was thinking of challenging myself not to use a comb. I typically only use a comb on wash day but I want to eliminate it totally and just finger detangle. Due to the extreame coily nature of my hair it's impossible to comb it without some breakage or rather if there is a way I haven't figured it out yet. So I'd like to see if I can go from now till December without using one and see what effect it has on my hair. You guys thinking of trying or doing anything different?

As far as the comb, it sounds like a good idea. I really only us a comb when I wash (dc, co-wash) my hair. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go without a comb during my co-washes 😁😁
