Relaxed Wash and Go ... Oh no!

[taz007]

I decided to wash my hair and let it air dry ...

It just kept getting bigger and bigger by the hour (like Troy Polamalu's commercial).

Then, of course, Murphy's Law kicked in and I had to run out like this (and my hair still wasn't completely dry) :

Any tips on getting the hair to lay down whilst air drying??!!

Sigh.... Where is that Relaxed hair/Air dry thread?

that's close to what my hair looks like after it's flat ironed on a humid day

your hair looks beautiful just the way it is. let the wind play in it and enjoy the "bigness" gotta love textured hair

I'm with you, I just can't wash and go! On another note, your hair looks nice and healthy!!

You should put it in a braids. I do for French braids when I'm air-drying my hair, with my leave in or favourite oil.

People buy wigs to get that look! I think it looks great!!!

Mine's a bit like that to but it has a bit of an uneven wave to it. I'll wear it anywhere like that but not to work. Actually, I've figured out that airdrying/wash n go's turn out best for me when I dry it outside. I get totally different (and smoother) results drying outside as opposed to letting it dry while I'm in the house. I like having big mane of healthy hair.

i think its beautiful, im relaxed but thats how my hair looks after its blowdried i still have some curl-wave pattern so when i air-dry my hair becomes sooo big and wavy and fluffy.i was thinking of doing wash and goes for the summer but i havnt really heard of any relaxed heads doing this

I'd love to know as well! Your end result looks really full and thick though! Did you manage to get untangled NG in the process?

 

[Your Cheeziness]

That would make a gorgeous bun!

 

[hothair]

I wet wrap but I think that's a no-no *shrug* You could tie down the front with a scarf and put the back in a bun. It will dry flatter with a slight wave.

 

[Solitude]

I either tie it down while it's drying for the first 20-30 minutes or so, or if I'm wearing my texlaxed hair curlyish, I leave conditioner in it while it dries. I don't really like airdrying, though...

your hair looks great, Taz!

 

[200AndOne]

looks good to me. i fail to see the problem lol.

OP, when I relaxed & decided to air dry, I pretty much expected my hair to look like yours. It was normal for me. I had to blow dry to get flat hair. Anyway, yours looks good!

I broke a comb in the process.
