Tis a done deal! 3 years no heat anniversary celebrated by using heat!
I cleaned my hair, DC'd, detangled, rinsed, applied grapeseed oil and twisted into about 12 or 13 twists. I blow dried on damp hair using the tension method I learned from
watching African Export vids. It didn't take too long and I didn't need a
lot of heat. I used low heat on high and it got the job done. When I finished, my hair felt a little dry but the next day (today) it felt cottony and super soft. 
I'm going to try using butter and attempt a twistout for tomorrow. I'll post more styled pics (and in better light!) as I learn how to style this poofy hair.
A few non-styled pics of my hair with just grape seed oil in it.

Thanks Afrikan gal.  I'm hitting my roots again tomorrow because this weird warm and humid week made my hair poof all the way up today.

Been enjoying experimenting with new products. Rocking Cleo in Janelle Monae-esque curly high puff pompadour. Luving it!

How come no one told me that when I reached a certain length my arms would hurt from doing my hair?

I will never use gel on my hair again... (unless later for wet bunning and it's "soft" hold)I sort of tried to use gel just to see how my hair would clump after I washed it yesterday. My hair still felt dry after washing the gel out, even hours laters...

Now one thing I am envious of on relaxed hair is the slick bun...
I love a good sleeek looking bun. Mind you, my natural hair does "lay" a little when sopping wet, but only so much, plus I wouldn't want to damage my hair just for a day's bun. It's happened before where the front hair looks rough, and that area is already less defined
