Tired of twisting time requirement

I don't know how you all feel, but sometimes I SIMPLY DREAD HAIR DAY! I know it is a necessity, but I sometimes don't want to be spend hours on my hair, yes I know it is worth it later....but that just doesn't help my thought process at the time.
Today is one of those days! I washed & conditioned(and NO I didn't even deep condition!) and thought what can I do, as I am not feeling spending hours twisting my hair and I had a short workweek this week......
So I decided to just blow dry & see how it looks from there, maybe a updo, pony, puff, I'll just see what happens.
I used Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, BWC leave-in conditioner, sealed with Castor oil and blow dried my hair. Blow drying took 40 minutes. This is the outcome...not too shabby!

My DevaCurl experience

I'll start off by saying I'm not cheap...that said, I think quite a few haircare lines are just too expensive for daily use. I spend my money freely on things I like & enjoy....some people would even say I am frivolous at times. But I have not yet reached the point of being OK with spending $25 or more(including tax & shipping) on a hair product that is probably only gives 2-3 uses for my hair type & length.
The DevaCurl line has many favorable reviews, although not many exist for 4b hair, but it was one of the lines I have been wanting to try out. I searched & found a local retailer, Ulta, to avoid shipping charges. I purchased a 3oz bottle of Set It Free for $8.
I shampooed & DC. I used Giovanni Direct for leave in & sealed with castor oil. I sectioned my hair into about 12-15 twists, I sprayed the Set It Free on each section prior to twisting. I put a clip on my roots to hold them since I was twisting wet hair. Here are next morning results:

The results came out OK, but nothing to warrant me spending more money on DevaCurl products. I will use the rest of the product, I would say this 3 oz bottle will probably last for about 4 more twist days.
PS. No superior lasting hold or lack of frizz as advertised observed the next few days while wearing my twistout.
