[k.a.t]

I have the exact same problem! it's like you were describing my hair! lol
I have done the bun trick myself, and like the result but it takes too long for my hair to dry like that - maybe im doing the bun too tight? :S
Now i just let it air dry naturally and then when it's dry i take a lil mousse and srunch any poofy areas to define them better... it works ok i guess - great if you're lazy like me :P
