Blown-out and Twisted Hair

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are enjoying your hair journey and have some cool things to share with me! :-)
As I stated in an earlier post, I have been really boring with my hair lately. I've mostly worn twists all summer. The upside to that is that my hair is growing like wildfire!! The protectiveness of twists and moisturizing daily has really given my hair a boost! Today I treated myself to a blow-out (blow-dried my hair), and then twisted it up. What I did:
I washed, conditioned, and detangled my hair yesterday. I used SheaMoisture Sheabutter Leave-in conditioner (the original kind...found on amazon) to twist up my hair in medium twists. I wore them all night and all day today so they could dry. I took down one twist at a time, added some grapeseed oil (great natural heat protectant), and blew dry that section and twisted it back up. I did this for my entire head and was left with big chunky twists:
I could have worn these as is, or pinned them up for an elegant updo. I also could have worn them overnight to set, and untwisted in morning for a huge chunky twistout! But I wanted to be lazy for the rest of the week, so I twisted them into smaller twists using one of my homemade butter/oil concoctions. Result:

I know they dont look much smaller from the front. But the ones in the back are half the size. I then experimented a little....updo

Or you could stick with an easy, breezy ponytail:
For my nighttime routine, I took them out of the ponytail and slipped on a satin headwrap. And thats it! Let me know what you've been doing with your natural hair!!

Peace&Blessings,
