You can totally do it girlie! I'd do it all over again if I had to. I wouldn't add the straightening comb incident though
I'll try... I don't take many because I've been a little paranoid that my hair looks crazy. I'll add a couple more from a couple of weeks ago.
ETA: I'm always taking them with my cell phone so sorry about the quality.

Very pretty hair! What are you using to pull your hair back in the curly picture?

I used 2 large wrapping bobby pins. 1 going each way. These pins:
Thanks! There is only about 1-1.5 inches of straight damaged ends left and it's all in the bang area thats gathered in the top, so you cant see it. I'll take a pic the next time I shampoo my hair.
BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!!!!!!
And those elephant earrings are the bee's knees!!!!! I'm a Delta...need a pair of those!
Hey Soror!!!!! The earrings were a gift.
When I saw her picture the hair though quite lovely became an accessory to her looks.
OP you are a natural beauty.
OMG! Thank you ladies! I've never ever felt pretty. I don't think I'm ugly, but definitely average... you guys got me over here blushing. And here I was feeling bad because I post pics without make-up.
Thank y'all for the kind words!

Y'all probably know a bit better than me since I don't really understand the typing thing. Some curls are bigger like straw or pencil sized and some are a bit smaller than that. Tighter in the crown area.

Thanks!
Basically, I shampooed and conditioned my hair with Garnier Fructis Moisture Works. Then I deep conditioned with Pantene Pro-V Nourishing Moisture Replenishing Mask (I added honey and a little bit of Hello Hydration to the mix) under my steamer for 30 minutes.
After steaming, I rinsed with cool water and detangled with my shower comb, then went section by section through my hair with my Denman D7. The sections I went through were about 2 inches wide; a little bigger than sections I would have done to flat iron. I didn't diffuse to dry, I just air dried without touching the curls.
Before brushing through the sections I used Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in, Giovanni Direct leave-in and a little bit of Kinky Curly Curling Custard (I'm not supposed to be using gels per my stylist; but I used about an index finger full for my whole head). At the end of the afternoon my curls weren't fuzzy and looked really moisturized like the picture, but I wished I would have used more than a smidgen of KCCC because the conditioners don't give any hold and my hair shrank more than it would have if I would have just used KCCC like it's supposed to be used. But like I said earlier, I am trying to find the balance of conditioner to set my curls.
I forgot... I smoothed the front with Cantu Shea Butter leave in only. It's thick enough that I use it like it's gel. I've had to let my ecostyler gel go altogether
. I pulled the front up by either side as if I was going to put it in a half pony, but instead used 2 large curved bobby pins to pin it in either direction. I did not tie the front down before leaving the house. I normally tie it down because I like a more smoothed effect. I guess that's from years of slicked back relaxed hair. I'm coming to grips with the fact that my fuzzy hair won't always lay perfectly flat.
