Like make up, this has also taken a while to find the right combination for me, and has changed as my hair has grown longer.
Currently I use Treseme products as they seem to work well on my hair. After shampooing and conditioning, I wrap a towel around it. I never blow dry my hair, to do so would be to end up looking like Diana Ross! As it dries, I use some serum on the ends, (about the last 4 inches), and leave it alone. If I am going out, it will usually be worn up, since it doesn't like being straightened soon after being washed. When I do straighten it, I use either a heat defense spray or just a plain old water spray, they both work, and it takes me about 20 minutes to straighten it properly, layer by layer. Normally it gets less than that because I simply don't have the time.
Thank god for scrunchies and hair clips!
