Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[faithVA]

I tried a wng this weekend. The shape of my hair is terrible and my curls are so tight it just turns into a fro. As it dries I lose the majority if the definition. I'm going to water rinse tonight because it will be too dry to wear tomorrow. Its too early to know whether I'm going to try it again or just twist it back up.

This was last night before I baggied and put it in a puff.

nothing is wrong with tight curls. How are you applying the products. I find that how apply and what I apply can give me different results.

I used diluted kccc. I sectioned my hair into 7 sections and applied gel to each section. Then I spritzed each section with water because my hair dries fast. Then I applied gel to very small sections in each section and finger combed it.

I have to buy some flaxseed to make gel and try that.

So far I've had my mini twists in for a week. Today I refreshed them my water mixed with Giovanni and I applied sum curl enhancing smoothie. I think I can def get 3 more weeks out of these twists.

I posted this in the wrong thread. LMAO, this was meant for the MHM thread.

doing section by section is best. Make sure you not stingy with product either. Play around with different products. I've concluded I do not heavy gels my hair looks best with thinner gels and lotions. I don't really like creams or puddings.

Thanks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I will play around with application because I'm not ready to have a lot of different gels. I will try to play with what I have.

My hair usually likes creams and puddings but not sure how that works with rewetting or baggying.

I'm still on the fence on whether I'm going to twist it back up or try another wng.

I probably can twist my hair up in the same amount of time it takes me to apply the gel

I'm not in the challenge. I just haven't done a wash and go in a while and I like the way it turned out tonight so I thought I'd post. I cowashed with herbal essences then applied ecostyler argan oil gel.

Thank you.

I normally wear my hair in two pigtails like in my avi or in a ponytail.

Used curls goddess curls today. I can always count on it.

I think I need a break from my hair. Planning on wet bunning indefinitely. Today I shampooed, conditioned detangled, blah etc., then I squeezed out the excess water, applied some Smooth n' Shine instant repair serum, then ran some fantasia frizz buster gel through my hair to keep it from tangling, and pulled it back into a bun. It was so easy and quick and my hair is out of the way. I'm slowly going from long to really long and having it up is a really nice change. I think I'll redo my bun every 3 days.

Today's wet bun/wash and go bun:

I purchased some Shea Yogurt by Alikay Naturals at my local BSS and I'm excited to see how it works for me. It sort of smells like...citrusy yogurt lol and has a nice consistency. It reminds me of this random mango scented shea butter that I used on my hair while I was transitioning (never found it again, but it left my hair incredibly soft). I plan to use it on my hair while wet bunning. Random side note, my BSS now carries the Argan Oil Ampro gel! I got a 32 oz tub the other week. I think it's going to be my staple gel, I really love it.

Sooo now that I've shared my whole life story Sorry for the long post

Used Marc Anthony strictly curls curl defining lotion. I'm up in the air about repurchasing. If you aren't careful you can use too much and it will clump and flake. I used too much in bang and side area. Had to go to restroom at work and rewet the bang and side area. To get rid of excess product and flakes. I did my finger twirl method this morning. I like how it came out.

Wash and go from today. I used a mix of bentonite and rhassoul clays. After washing that mix out, I applied wheatgerm oil and KCCC gel.

Better and better. I'm going to have to revisit the finger twirls. Very pretty.

thank you. I really love the results. I just don't like how long it takes for me to do it. If I wake up late I really don't have time to do the twirls.

I went to beauty supply store yesterday and wasn't looking for anything in particular. I ended up picking up some aunt jackies don't shrink gel and beautiful textures curl defining custard(this is a repurchase I used this occasionally while I transitioned for slick down styles I'm excited to try it on my hair now that it's fully natural). This morning I used the aunt jackies. I'm not really noticing less shrinkage. I wasn't really expecting it either.

SheenaVee your wash and go is lovely. Did you leave some of the herbal essence in your hair or did you apply the gel on naked hair?

 

[SheenaVee]

beauti Thank you! I don't leave any Herbal Essences in because it doesn't mix well with the gel so I just put it on naked hair.

 

[whiteoleander91]

not a wash and go but I'm proud of it so I wanted to share it with my wash and go family

Le braid out! Maybe my first successful-ish braid out! I used Alikay Naturals Shea Yogurt and Ampro Pro Styl Argan Oil Gel.
