Thanks for the suggestions, Adrienne. I did buy a hair straightener (to try on the girls) with a spiral curl attachment (for myself), but after I tried it on my middle gal (with OilSheen lotion to "protect" her hair from the heat), I panicked when I saw the steam. However, she has much finer hair so it ended up looking greasy. I didn't try it on K, and I'm not sure I should. Of the three girls, her hair is the most dry (not bad, and not much shedding), but she also has the tightest curl. Is it worth even testing it out at this point? With three girls to get ready in the morning, I generally stick to easy styles like puffs, two twists or braids, and buns. On weekends I'll try the more elaborate styles and cornrows, but they don't stay very fresh looking, just 2 or 3 days.
