Southpaw, that's awesome! I'll have to try it! My mom was a hairdresser/beautician when I was growing up, and she's always told me that if I scrunched my hair, it would be curly, but I don't really know how or what products to use. I'll have to look into it! I don't have the products you mentioned, but I have leave in conditioner and gel. Quick question though, does the gel make your hair "crunchy"? I hate that feeling, and really prefer to leave product out of my hair in general for that reason. I'll have to do a before/after shot of me with scrunched hair and a before/after shot of me with those heat-less curlers I posted about earlier.
Dogdragoness, it is great for your hair to sleep in a braid. It keeps your hair from tangling so you don't have to brush it as often or as harshly and it keeps it from breaking/getting pulled out. I sleep with a braid sometimes but I'm really tender headed and it gives me a headache sometimes. I really want to get a silk pillow case because I thing that will help a lot.

Using less gel will make it less crunchy, or some gels just leave more of a crunch than others... or you can "scrunch out the crunch" once your hair dries. You could use mousse instead of gel too, those will give more of a lighter hold and aren't usually so crunchy. It's a lot of experimenting!
