As promised I'm going to document this strawset day by day in photos.
Why? Well, as you may know, a strawset changes so much as it ages that I thought a daily documentation was in order (not to mention helpful for reference
).
Here goes nothing!
Day 2 (the day after I got it done) the strawset had significantly strunk and fluffed (which is great thing!).
When I first got it done it almost looked like relaxed hair, so having the humidity (it was HOT outside
) add some volume brought me back to looking like a natural head.
The night prior I'd slept with a Proclaim Style It Up Satin Bonnet (a new one I bought from Sally Beauty for $3) and didn't care for it one bit (I'll do a video about it and other sleepwear shortly). The next morning I showered with shower cap over the bonnet, then removed both and added a quarter sized dollup of Biosilk to my hair being careful not to disturb it too much. Then I held 1 side up and lightly sprayed it with White Rain hairspray (it's all I have
).
Here's the back:

It definitely is a hit in my book.
It held it's shape and sheen very well. The stylist used shea butter, coconut oil & glycerine mixed as the moisturizer then rolled it on the straws with Eco Gel and Biosilk (I think).
Alright, see ya'll tomorrow.

ooh, if you’d like to try an inexpensive leave-in conditioner spray, try Dove Sheer Moisture Leave-In Replenishing Mist. I’ve been using it for 3yrs now, from relaxed to natural. Great for putting moisture on natural ends!
thanks ya’ll!
