Morning hair - before & afters

Ladies and gents, what does your hair look like in the morning before and after you refresh?
Post pictures, and tell us what your overnight routine is, what is working, and/or what is not, and your refresher technique.
It's one thing to tell someone your routine, but it's another to actually see what happens when you do it.
I'll post my pictures tomorrow.

Starmie, Me either! I will allow myself to have 2nd day hair now and then if I'm staying home but never to work. I look like the Doc from back to the future when I wake up. I say I have hair elves that visit me at night. Sit on my pillow and pull on my hair.

It will only let me upload 5 pictures at a time, so doing this in 2 posts.
These are when I first woke up (obviously!)

I still can't find a good nighttime routine. I don't pinepple, because my hair is too short. The satin pillowcase is better than the cotton, but still not good.
I cup my hands under the faucet and get water to smooth onto my hair in sections, and squeeze to make sure all the layers get wet. I do this just so my hair is wet, not soaking wet.
Then I apply KCCC to the canopy, underneath layer, then scrunch.
I diffused this morning to about 80% dry, because I was in a hurry to get pictures. Some days I diffuse, some days I don't.
After it was mostly dry, I scrunch the crunch out, tip my head upside down and fluff and scrunch, then give it a good shake, and flip it up fast and position.

When I get up in the morning, first I laugh at how ridiculous my hair looks when I take the cap off. Then I slide my hands under my hair (by the nape of my neck) and fluff it up, then rearrange any stray strands. If I have a particularly wonky piece of hair, I'll wet it with water and scrunch it into place. Generally, though, I just take the cap off and fluff my hair.
The pictures are: Cap on; right after cap comes off (one of my cats decided to join me at this point); and after my hair is settled into place. The slightly maniacal smile is because we're in the midst of our eleventy-millionth Winter Storm Watch here in Illinois, with 4-8 inches of snow predicted. :confused3:
