Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[uofmpanther]

I got second day hair! I have never gotten second day hair. After yesterday's wash n go, I did two pineapples on the top of my head with big satin scrunchies loosely ties around them. This morning, I used the steam from the shower, and then lightly spritzed with water before shaking my head and pulling to shape. I'm so happy. It has movement. It's not sticky, and it looks good.

Thank you. Your hair is looking great. Let people think what they want. I've tried explaining to no avail as well. All I know how to do really are wash n goes as well. Some people have asked if I have a rod or straw set.

I typically do my hair at night so I technically really never have Day 1 hair, but I did my hair this morning for an event I attended this afternoon. It was an afternoon tea event, so I wore a fascinator since my big head and big hair cannot be contained within a hat.

View media item 128261
I was not in experimentation mode, so I only used my regular products:
*V05 kiwi lime clarifying conditioner
*Giovanni deeper moisture conditioner
*Grapeseed oil
*Giovanni leave in
*SM curl enhancing smoothie
*MopTop anti frizz medium hold gel

Sat under the dryer, spent a few minutes with the diffuser though there were some wet areas that I conveniently hid behind the fascinator .

you may have to try some stretching techniques once your hair is completely dry. What are you doing to achieve your wash n
go? I personally get different looks with different techniques (ie: shingling, denman brush, praying hands, twirling etc). Upload some pics of your hair and that may be helpful in getting suggestions.

I cowash then use a leave in, i have been using kinky curly knot today & eco styler gel doing the shingle method. The second time and today I just used praying hands. Overall my hair turns out nice but the crown. The crown section has defintion while putting in products but once it starts to dry it frizzes up. Here are some pics

2 more weeks in this protective style and then im coming out!!!!

 

[GGsKin]

Washed my hair late last night and slept with it uncovered. After my clay wash I applied my usual oils. I also rubbed in some melted shea butter before shingling with diluted KCCC.

 

[Vshanell]

Wng with Eden's Body Works leave in and curl defining creme. I am wow'd by the curl creme. My curls are so defined but soft. It claims to be humidity resistant so we'll see. So far so good. It's a little flat cuz its first day hair. I want it to last so I'm not fully fluffing it out.

Eta.. Sorry for the doubles on the pics. I always have trouble uploading pics since the upgrade.

You have some nice hang time! Pretty hair. Is it the oil that's giving you the extra hang?

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Whoa, I just got a new laptop for my birthday and when I say the size of your picture are just EXTRA big in the browser. Curls are in my face front and center. loving it!!

@bebezazueta thank you. For me, doing the Maximum Hydration Method is what has given me hang time lol. The extra moisture and shingling had my hair hanging before I put oils back in the mix.

Monday's wash n go. Aphogee Green Tea Leave-in & Super Wet gel.

Good morning ladies. This weekend I brought a package of side combs. So I've been trying different variations of my normal style. This morning I placed 2 on each side.

 

[MzRhonda]

Yesterdays wash n go was not my best I tried to do things different like t-shirt dry in the shower to reduce how much waster was in my hair before adding product and used a different styler I got a trim yesterday afternoon (back and sides of hair) and went back to my normal routine this morning and used As I Am once again, that is a keeper for me .....my wash n go is better......after school ends I will experiment with styling, like side parts etc etc for now it is just looking like a curly fro, lol.

 

[Vshanell]

Ladies I'm extremely shocked right now. Last night it was extremely rainy, muggy and humid. Dew points are 96% right now and my hair is holding up great with this Eden's Body Works. Praise the lord I finally found something that works! I've bought a crapload of gel's trying to beat the humidity and nothing has worked but this. My hair would normally be a frizzy dry poof ball.

The jar is huge but I'm tempted to buy another in case they do something crazy like change the formula or discontinue it. This is my boo thing right now lol.

T-shirt drying before adding products is a fail for me as well. However I've had success placing t-shirt on after I've added products.

@Pokahontas Is it the curl defining cream?

 

[pattyr5]

Thank you! Kinky Curly is definitely a favorite of mine

I have tried Kinky Curly so many times and never get it right. I heard there was a secret to applying it correctly. One day I'll get it lol

 

[pattyr5]

Today's wash and go. First time doing my hair since I went to hair Rules in Friday. I co washed with Mixed Chicks DC (diluted) Hair Rules leave-in and IC Fantasia gel (my new love). My hair is diffused to about 60% dry. It's raining today so who who's what I will come back home with

 

[Vshanell]

@MzRhonda Yes that's my baby lol

And I used their leave in as well.

I think your hair looks great. Try adding extra product to your crown area and possibly add some coils to that section or possibly two strand twists in the crown area. Coiling really helped me out with definition.

Anybody ever hear of or use this product FX Curls Up?

http://www.amazon.com/FX-84600-Curls-Up/dp/B0009VQ8KQ
Product Description
A non-chemical curl reactivator formulated especially for naturally curly, wavy or permed hair. Curls up instantly revitalizes dull, lifeless, frizzy curls by infusing vitamins and proteins, giving your curls greater definition, bounce and shine. Used continually, curls up actually repairs split-ends, eliminates frizziness and produces healthy, more vibrant hair.

My brother in law has used it and was unable to find it in the store so I ordered it from Amazon...it was cheaper to order 3 bottles so I am taking 1 bottle.

ETA: he says it makes his hair soft which is why he likes it not crunchy.

Co washed with Wen Summer Honey Peach formula.

Left in Shea moisture raw detangler, transitioning Milk, Herbal Essences Set Me Up Gel.

Looks like I'll be letting it grow out slightly longer. This clumping action is not what's up when you only have two inches of hair and ur scalp is saying hello to the world. Thank god I don't have flaking issues.

 

[pattyr5]

Day 2 of my wash and go. All I did was refresh with Design Essentials coconut and monoi shine mist. I'm supposed to have highlights in here but I don't see a darn thing!
