Here is what I did to achieve this look below:
-Co-washed with Trader Joe's Nourish Conditioner, detangling in sections
-Applied Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In to sections, then a dime-sized amount of raw, unrefined shea butter and organic extra-virgin coconut oil to the hair, then two-strand twisted.
-After my hair was all twisted up, I let it air dry overnight. (I had 10 twists total when done)
-This morning I unraveled the twists and separated with my fingers. For this style I just pulled a Goody "Stay Put" headband toward the back of my head for this low puff.
EASY PEESY!! Lol
**To maintain: I'll retwist tonight (dry, won't re-wet my hair). I probably won't use any products because my hair feels moisturized, but if I do it will be a SMALL amount of coconut oil on my ends.
I noticed the most growth and length retention when I kept my routine and products simple, so I'm back to the basics with my hair!
*Note: All the products listed in the post were purchased from: Trader Joe's, The Vitamin Shoppe, and Target (the latter for the KC Knot Today).

Nice article! I'm definitely going back to the basics as well. I've been natural for so long that I got caught up with all "the latest and greatest" natural hair products that I don't believe my hair is where it should be as far as length is concern.
@Mischi That's how I feel! I'm sure if I had stuck to what I knew my hair would be a little longer than it is now at the 3-yr mark. I understand.
