How long does it last?
Hmmm. Til the end of the day. It shrinks up.

I have to make sure I have cond. in my hair when its wet. I blot the excess with a towel and go. For the first hour or so, I try not to let a lot of wind (like from the car window) blow too hard on it or it gets more bouffant than i like.
LovelyZ, I have a few questions. When you put conditioner in it and let it airdry, do you mean you put a leave-in conditioner in it? Do you just let your hair hang down while it's drying? How long does your hair take to dry in this way? And what does your hair look like after it has dried?LovelyZ said:This is how I do it as well. Put conditioner in while its wet and then I try not to mess with it or my hair gets BIG. I think I am underprocessed though, because my hair is very resistant to relaxer and the curl pattern will only loosen, never straighten. But that does not bother me; I like that I can do straight styles and wash and go, too.

Thank you for your reply. I'm wondering if switching to a leave-in conditioner and just airdrying it would work better and last longer. Sylver2 and SouthernGirl use a satin scarf to smooth it down while it's drying.LovelyZ said:This may be bad, but I put a conditioner that you are supposed to wash out, but I leave it in. It adds weight to my hair so it doesn't get too big. I let it hang down to dry and it normally takes several hours to dry completely (6 hrs? maybe). After it has dried it looks wavy and some of my hair spirals, but the next day it looks TERRIBLE. It will be poofy and the waves are flattened out. So if I do wash and go, I have to do it fresh each day.

I don't have a problem getting the curls, there's just a great amount of frizz along with them. I use a leave-in after I wash too. I really want to eliminate heat this summer (no point to it), but I can't lose hair doing this. Any advice?
