UPDATE (9/10/09) So I've been completely overwhelmed (in a good way) by the number of encouraging responses I've received re: my "Morning After TWA" video. It's really gratifying when I find out that what has worked for me ends up working for someone else too! I received this kind of news from a fellow blogger at www.curlingdervish.blogspot.com.
"I love LOVE your blog! We BC'd around the same time, so our hair is pretty much the same length. I had been in a bit of a rut with my TWA after wearing twist outs for over a month and was missing tinkering around in my coils. Wash and go's were SO not an option for me! Living in VA where its frigid in the morning and mild by noon, a wet head does not feel like sunshine! After a rough morning waiting for my hair to dry (it didn't until about 2 pm), I wondered if there was another option. Of course I turned to natural,chica! You know my woes!! The morning after TWA video was GENIUS!!! Very rarely do I jump on board with much, but I figured "its coconut oil and fingers, how can I go wrong??" so I tried it this morn...and my hair was soft, defined, shiny, frizz free...I can't even think of any other words!! My fiancee loves the fact that ue can play in my fro-let and not have to wipe shmootz off his hands! Love the blog! Keep up the great work!! --glamazon0518"
You guys know I LOVE hearing from my readers PERIOD, so never hesitate to send me an email with your questions, pics/info you want shared on the blog, or just a random hello : D (Reach me at goingaunaturale@gmail.com) *Mae*

I received the following message from a reader, and I couldn't help but shake my head as what she was describing, was exactly what my hair looked like as I was reading her message after waking up!
"I hope you can answer my question. My TWA is in a very in between phase right now; just long enough to tangle and knot, but still too short for protective styles. It's also just long enough to dry out, but still too short for me to put it up in a pineapple or anything. As a result, every morning I wake up with mushed knotty hair, causing me to have to co-wash everyday. I'm going through conditioner like crazy! And winter is coming up!As you can see, I'm freaking out. I've noticed that you are one of the few bloggers I follow who are still TWA like me. I'd like to ask you, what do you do to remedy this? What styles have you tried?"
Because I do have this problem, and have found a way to get around it...I decided to make a vid showing what I do with the hopes of helping others who have the "Morning After TWA" blues : D
I know I'm not alone with this problem, so what are things you all have tried???
Update: Shared my video with CurlyNikki today and she decided to put it on her site! I really hope this helps someone!!
