Great thread! I'm currently in Senegalese Twists and I love them. I think I'll keep these until Feb then, I'll redo them or try another style. I'll post better pics later. Excuse the goofy grin, I don't like taking pics.

Great video! You look like an absolute babydoll! I never thought about the curl activator gel. I'll definitely be giving that one a try.

I make sure I don't play with my hair during the day, the more I touch it, the frizzier it gets. I think the main thing is to have some kind of styling cream/aid (in my case, it's lustrasilk shea butter cholesterol) when putting in the twists/cornrows and detangled (this applies mainly to day 1).
I usually use a headband or scarf to lay my edges down. While I have the twists/cornrows in, I always wear a scarf which helps lay down my new growth. I moisturise my egdes and seal... some ladies use a little gel.
HTH!

This is one I did this morning. Really easy, two cornrows on the side and the back is pinned up. I love this look because it is easy, classy, and the difference in textures is not all that apparent.

Wow it's nice to have this for a reference. While I still can I am doing rollersets until I um can't do it anymore. I am really not a braid person so constantly on the hunt for other styles too.

Great visual references in this thread! I wish I knew how to braid though.

Well as an alternative to braiding, you can always do two strand flat twist. They look just as good as braids to me.
If you're not interested in the time it takes to air dry your hair, you can sit under a hooded dryer for a few minutes. I personally blow dry my hair usually on cool/warm heat (prefer cool even though it takes a little longer) and on high flow. But I typically just hit the roots and the over flow of air will catch the relaxed ends. My styling normally calls for hair to be slightly damp anyway so I don't worry too much if my relaxed ends are not completely dry. Give blowdrying a try but also use just a little heat protectant when you do.

Another one I concocted today. I am scared of banana clips, but I like the look. I did a rollerset and pinned my hair up the way it would look if I had an actual clip in my hair:

Can't go wrong with bunning! 
I do smooth buns and braid out buns.

I did this style with purple and gray flexirods. I used Giovanni Direct leave-in and Hairveda whipped gelly to lay down my edges with a scarf. I'm 23 weeks post.
That is soooo cute! To bad I'm too lazy to do it on a regular
I have a wedding to go in June, so I may try this style! Great thread

I know this post is useless without pics....but:
My favorite transition style has been the "Rollerset Puff".
1. While my hair is dry, I first part my down the middle and section into 4 parts on each side. (I use this as an opportunity to finger detangle or detangle with wide tooth comb). I braid each section for a total of 8 braids.
2. Next, I wash with Design Essentials Moisture Shampoo and DC with DE Stimulations or Express Conditioner under my steamer for 30 minutes while in braids.
3. I let my hair cool down and rinse with cool water, dry with T-shirt. I unbraid one section at a time and apply leave in (Darcy Botanicals Transition Creme) to each section and comb thru first with wide tooth comb, then with a finer toothed comb. I also use Design Essentials Thermal Spray on each section.
4. I then put a ponytail holder on each of the 8 sections and put about 4 small magnetic yellow rollers on each ponytail.
5. I sit under the dryer for about 25 minutes and let my hair airdry for the rest of the night.
6. In the morning, I reapply Darcy's Transition Creme or Qhemets AOHC to each section and finger comb the curls. I brush edges down with aloe vera gel (Fruit of the Earth).
7. I take an ouchless elastic headband and smooth it back on my head and position it into my curly puff.
8. At night and every morning, I always finger detangle each section and I also sleep in a satin bonnet.
I will post pics next week...my hair is still swinging and blinging from my press!
