I'm in a 'dutch braid' phase (think two french braids, one on either side of your head).
I do it in the morning after i've showered, wear it like that all day (i normally stick a fake flower or something in it for fun), then don't take it out that night, wear it to sleep, by morning #2, take it out and you'll have 'kinky' hair... not straight, not curly... I find it easier to work with because it has life but isn't out of control.
You can use a few bobby pins to hold it into place, or pull it half up... by the end of the day if it starts going flat, put it all into a pony tail and the texture might make it less like a 'mane' and more like that "just woke up out of bed and i don't care about my hair but doesn't it look great anyway" kind of way.
Try it at least for one day. Spritz a little bit of hair spray, or use some sort of calming lotion on the top few pieces that might get static charged up throughout the day and you'll be good to go.
