Okay the cousin line killed me! I've been there though, my hair gets so wild overnight it looks like I fought a squirrel and lost. I keep a brush in like three different rooms just to avoid the morning search party. Honestly some days I just give up and wear a hat, it's a lost cause until lunchtime.
My aunt tried that bun trick on me once and my hair dried into a single giant curl. @jason_black2, you might need that extra cousin for damage control too. Some hair just refuses to follow the rules.
