Yes mam. I let my hair airdry until about 80%. Blowdryers cause breakage and dryness for me, so the wet/dry is a win-win. The Remington iron is the business. I've been using that one since my relaxed days.
I'm not concerned about my curls since I mostly wear wigs or straight styles. I haven't worn a wash and go since I had a twa. The wet/dry hasn't changed my curl pattern though.

Very interesting. But, see, this is why I'm scared. I love my curl pattern too much to let it goooooo. 
Guess I'll stick with using crochets when I want a temporary texture change. 
Funny though, I saw the Remington in the bss today, for 35. 99!!! (I check them out every once in a while to see what's new and, if I MUST, I'll buy black products. As a side note though, who the hell is "SUNNY Isles" black castor oil???
Think they slick...

I got mine from Target for $20 on sale. Target is becoming my new favorite place to shop for hair products. I like that I can get my favorite lines for less and grocery shop at the same time

My fave lines are Kinky Curly and Oyin Handmade, and not only do they have them, they be having them on sale!! Ahhhh! *runs around in circles* 
And on the grocery side, I'm a couponer and they are very coupon-friendly.I keep saying, this month-long Target no-buy is painful.

What and what? If you got hair on your head and want to take care of it you are welcome. I'm fairly certain there are other dudes on here and they just don't flat out say they're guys

Me too!!!!
My curls are so coily they stick together causing tangles when it's time to wash. I prefer my curls over stretched hair. I just can't see myself texlaxing though.

On another note I'm wearing an unintentional messy bun today. My hair was slicked down before I left the house. Oh well, my hair is super soft & it looks like I styled it this way purposely tbh

I conditioned my hair like three times this weekend (I was bored). I bought this giovanni conditioner from Marshalls. I wanted the leave-in, but they didn't have it. This morning I used an herbal essences leave-in on my edges and used my eden bodyworks edge control to slick it down and to my eternal shock, they actually stayed laid. I forgot to put a scarf on it and couldn't believe that they stayed down when I got to work. That's never happened in my life.
When my eyebrows get wonky, I like to apply conditioner on them for a few minutes, or rub lotion in them. No need for eyebrow gel or whatever.

Neither can I. I've never had a relaxer so I don't even know why that thought is in my head. I am definitely not about that straight natural life anymore. Heat damage cost me like 11inches of hair. Maybe a straight wig or weave.

@VinaytheMrs Happy Birthday!
Interesting hair discussion over the weekend. I'm texlaxed, but my hair is thick and long, so it usually gets mistaken for natural. An associate was saying that she would NEVER go back to a relaxer, I was nodding, smiling, shaking my hair, ya know...then I reminded her that I wasn't natural. (lol!) You should have seen her jaw drop. Then she immediately started asking for my routine. I gave her all the details because it's hair not top secret information.
But it was funny!
I conditioner washed last night, blew it out and straightened it this morning. I had my own hair commercial going on while walking back from lunch. Sigh...healthy, long hair makes me so happy. (lol)

I rarely straighten my hair and usually roller set and wrap my hair but I have really intensified my hate for wrapping hair. Over directing my hair just makes small breakage and to be doing that everyday for 7 days makes me cringe. I remember years ago when people just realized wrapping the hair was bad . My hair never got shorter but one side was thicker than the other and I don't want that happening . I hate sometimes that I'm so conscience of breakage but if I wasn't I would be going about things so blindly.

Originally wanted to keep my Senegalese in until September. I don't know if I'll make it that long. My new growth is abundant!

I love my partial head shave. I guess my mom loves it too because she keeps nagging me to wear my hair in a bun to show it off
