So washed my hair last night. I ended up using the NTM and rolling with magnetic rollers and clips. I knew they wouldn't make my hair as taunt (sp?) as when I use the snaptops. But I think the snaps break my edges so I didn't want to go back to that.
Then I put a scarf on, let it airdry a bit, only b/c I was getting my lil one to sleep. Then sat under the dryer. Mostly so I won't go to bed w/ wet hair, which I think causes breakage when I have the clips in.
Anyway, woke up and hair is pretty fluffy. The edges aren't as smooth, but it's a fine look for me. Since it has grown out a bit, it has a nice shape w/ the head band. I didn't put anything in it. Usually with my daily air-dried rollersets, I would have to put some grease in there so my hair wouldn't frizz, but I think since I sat under the dryer it's not needed as much.
I haven't seen the back of my hair yet b/c I took the rollers out while I was in the car and just fingercombed, then used a comb to comb the hair back before my headband.
It's a good protective style...not a real style I'd just really go out with, but it's neat and I still look cute with it. So I'll be doing this for a while; probably most of the summer. I'll find some other looks I can do besides the headband too...mostly for weekend/going out looks. The headband will most likely stay for the weekday/workdays though.
Feeling optimistic that my hair is about to get healthier. I mean, I just knew better with all that dang heat...smh

Anyway, I'll grease my scalp tonight and do a dry rollerset and wear a headband tomorrow. I'll see how it feels tomorrow and that'll determine whether I wash it again on Friday. I'm actually thinking of doing a MWF wash schedule...then T&Th grease my scalp...then S&Sun just chill and try different hair designs. I think that's exactly what I'm doing actually.
