Do what I did when my hair was much shorter than it is now! Yes, your going to look crazy but it works. The only reason I no longer use this method is because i don't have a hair steamer. These pics are Circa 2009 This is what the alternative looks like Yes i am aware i look crazy. There is a lot of stuff under that bag!

1. Conditioning cap
2. Hot large towel i put in the microwave until it was steaming out
3. Conditioning cap over large towel
4. Shower cap over those 3
5. Walmart plastic bag over those 4
6. And another walmart plastic bag over it all
7. I used masking tape around it all

This is the end result: Sorry i don't have any before pictures but i can say that my hair was ALOT heavier and when i stretched it, it didn't tangle at all. My ends felt so smooth and everyone saw a noticeable difference. Random people have stopped and asked about my hair for the past week. Even my family asked what i did b.c it looks a lot better! Let me know how this method works out for you ladies!
