Mission: Second Day Hair

Now that I have came to peace with my curls, I want to find a way to preserve my hair at least for an extra day.

Attempted techniques:
1) High pony--so far the best method, but leave bangs and other parts a little frizzy
2) Satin cap--hair still becomes frizzy and alters curl shape, flattens curls

Another issue with second day hair is working out.  Pulling hair back + sweat usually means I must re-wash. I am going to figure out what works best for me over the next week or two and I'll keep you posted and also post pictures.

Thoughts and Pictures on Ouidad's "Rake and Shake" Technique

"Rake and Shake" is a technique developed by Ouidad that helps defrizz and define curls.

Although I use a modified version of their technique, depending on time, I go back and forth between using a modified "Rake and Shake" and styling my hair another way that is faster.

I've posted two pictues of hair, one done with and one done without the "Rake and Shake" styling method.
