fluffing up your hair

[NOEChic]

I have a TWA and when i wake up in the morning my hair is flat to my hair. How do y'all fluff up your hair without wetting it?

Let the steam from the shower do it's thang

I have the same problem. I don't soak my head, but I spritz lightly with a water/glycerin/EO mix and finger fluff it. Some times more aggressively than others , but this usually works for me. By the time I'm ready to leave the house, my hair is dry.

ETA: And sometimes when that fails I have to resort to lifting it from the roots with the pick. I don't pick the full length, just from the roots so my hair isn't gripping my head.

I opted for braids to avoid just that problem I was having. Needless to say, they will stay in til the new year to avoid wetting my hair every morning. They look good.

I never had luck with second day hair and still don't. But if I absolutely didn't want to fully wet my hair I used a leave in moisturizer like JML Cactus leave in and a bit of a liquid gel. That usually worked to refresh my TWA.

My hair does the same thing. The only solutions I've found:
-Twist or braid it at night. Untwist/braid and fluff

-CW hair in the AM

-Dampen hair with a moisture spritz, and then use wet fingers and a product like Curls Milkshake or Blended Beauty Styling Butter Creme (or another of their styling products) to scrunch and fuff. Those days I ususually use a scarf or other hair accessory.
