I'm currently 10 weeks into my relaxer and still going (although I'm so tempted to run out to get a perm), nevertheless, it's still better for my hair and scalp. As you could imagine, I have to be very creative with my hair at the moment. So, I decided to give my hair some soft natural looking curls/ringlets. Here's how you could get the same look (you could do this with wet or dry hair)...
If your hair is wet-
- Use your favorite leave in conditioner, setting lotion or a small amount of styling mouse.
- Part your hair from the front to the back, allowing for about 5-7 braids going to the back of your neck. Braid your hair from the front using only two-strand twists & secure the ends with barrettes.
- Let it air dry, preferable overnight.
- In the morning, release the braids one by one & moisturize the hair & scalp.
- Separate to add more body.
- Style as desired.
If your hair is dry-
- Dampen with a mist of purified water or your favorite leave in conditioner or setting lotion.
- Part your hair from the front to the back, allowing for about 5-7 braids going to the back of your neck.
- Let it air dry for at least 4-5 hours.
- Once dry, release the braids one by one & moisturize the hair & scalp if necessary.
- Separate to add more body.
- Style as desired.

I like this. I'm going on vacation soon and I think this would be a low maintenance hairdo. Thx for sharing!
