UPDATE!!!

Here are some updated pics of my hair. After a nice ol' wash, I curled with sponge rollers and ran my fingers throught them this morning b4 work. They're not all that tightly curled bcuz I tried to let them air dry last night before rolling them (for fear of them still being wet in the morning). Here is the end result;

I sorta like it better this way. The curls are kinda droopy. Some of them were not completely dry (you can't win them all). My favorite stage is the final 2-3 days where it's still "bent" but, not really curled. It adds character to the "freestyle" look.

N-E-Wayzzz ....Here are some more close ups.
