Quick hair update

So Im in New Mexico visiting family. AND ITS SUPER HOT out here! So i have to take extra care of my hair in this dry area. I just bought some wave nouveau. I would use this and s-curl in rotation. I hope it works pretty good wit my hair. Especially since its thick. For the past couple of weeks been wearing my hair in a ponytail. I need a new protective style so my hair wont fall out from the ponytail being in all the time!
