Here's a bunch of non-straight styles I've done on my BSL relaxed hair:
I use a 50/50 mixture of gel & conditioner to cornrow my hair while soaking wet, then sleep on it overnight with curlformers on the ends.
I let my hair airdry for 1-2 hours, then put it up in bantu knots & sleep on it overnight.
I blowdry my hair until it's 70% dry, then put it up into bantu knots without twisting the hair - more like wrapping it around itself, then sleep on it overnight.
I started with dirty, blowdried hair, then spritzed it with water to get it slightly (SLIGHTLY) damp. Then put it up in bantu knots, and dried under a bonnet dryer for 45 minutes. After they fully cooled, I took them out & finger combed.
I used a light hold cream gel on soaking wet hair & put in Curlformers, then slept on them overnight. Left & middle are extra-wide curlformers, right is wide curlformers.
Started with dirty, blowdried hair, and used caruso steam rollers. I hit them with a 5 second hot, then cool blast of air to dry up any steam & set the curl before taking them down.
I went to the Made in America festival & didn't want to have to worry about my hair - this never-ending french bun was perfect. I followed
this tutorial on YouTube. Took me a solid hour to figure it out, braiding backwards on yourself is HARD.
I had 15 minutes to style my dirty hair before a fancy dinner - this is a side french braid, with the end curled around itself at the end, kind of like a snail shell.
