Wash And Go, To Grow And To Dazzle 2020 Challenge

[toaster]

I’m under the dryer with my go to UFD and Jell-O shot since I’m traveling again this weekend.

I really loved my it’s a 10 and UFD wash and go. Like, really loved it. It puffed up in the humidity but it didn’t frizz. Each individual curl was still defined, just more voluminous. It rinsed really well and shampoo’d out easily.

I have a lot of events coming up, but when I can experiment again I want to try:

It’s a 10 leave in, UFD and jello shot
UFD and it’s a 10 gel
It’s a 10 leave in and it’s a 10 gel

I love hearing stories like this. I’m glad you have accepted your hair.

Have you ever tried the split and swipe method when applying UFD? It has helped me with root definition. I don’t know why I’m suggesting this since you have accepted your hair, but I just couldn’t help myself.

I have root to tip definition. It’s just frizzy. Lol

You can lift one strand of hair and it’s curled from the root to the tip. It’s just a halo of frizz which is cool with me but it would be nice if every now and again it was laid @GettingKinky

I see. It’s still frizzy even when you have a super crunchy gel cast?

Sometimes, a little extra smoothing is what helps me with this, like in Abena's video that @toaster posted. Or I lower the pH of the styler (like I do with kinky curly). This can help my strands to lay smoother.

Once I break the cast it will start to frizz because I’m moving the strands @GettingKinky

I went skating last night. Sweating like I stole something.

I think imma try the curl daze gloss shine by itself and see what it do baby. Knowing me though imma get in the hair room and spy something else.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I feel like today is Friday after getting up so early. I’m sitting here staring at my curl size.

@Bette Davis Eyes i know we all love what we don’t have, but your pin spring coils at the bottom are to die for

My acid of choice is usually hibiscus tea, but few drops of ACV works too.

Day 5 and I still have a light gel cast. I don’t think I’m going to go back to adding water after I apply UFD. My hair is plenty wet when I put the UFD in and I think I distribute it well enough without the extra water.

The hair room? How many products do you have - I’m semi jealous I think that would cure my hair boredom.

I turned my den into my hair room. It’s where I have my dryer, streamer, most of my products , vanity table and chair. Gonna put a tv in there with a chaise lounge and barn door to close it off @GettingKinky

I tried the Mousse Def/Ouidad Anti-Humidity combo this morning. And wouldn't you know as soon as I left the house it started raining

I used more of the gel this time and it came out better than my first attempt. My hair was light, fluffy, and curly. It looked really good, especially as the day progressed. I think my hair was soaking up some of that 100% humidity outside as the day went on. I'm a fan of the volume I get with the mousse but I also know this WNG isn't going to last very long for me.

That sounds awesome!!

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Well. I couldn’t make it to work due to the backlash of the flooding. Imma do my hair later on. Kinda excited to see what an early wash day results in because I can sit under the dryer longer.

 

[GettingKinky]

@Bette Davis Eyes your close up curl picture yesterday inspired me to take one of my own today. This is day 6 hair after 4 workouts. My curls are definitely more s shape. I kind of want more o shape.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I washed today. Used Mielle Coil sculpting something and the new wet line gel.

I'm stuck in a hotel until New Orleans gets its act together and restores our power. Before I left I grabbed KCKT and KCCC. I co-washed my hair and applied fairly haphazardly, so I'm sure I missed a spot or two. This is day 3 and I've been doing cardio everyday. Besides the frizz at the roots, it's holding up well.

I hope you’re able to get home to minimal damage soon!

 

[shebababy]

@toaster Thanks for the well wishes. My BIL was able to check the house and there is no damage. There's just no power in NOLA at the moment and no estimate as to when power will be restored. *deep sigh*

We want to see a picture of your locs. Do you not wear wash n go’s in the fall/winter because it’s too cold?

 

[oneastrocurlie]

Used UFD and ICH with gemini naturals color this time. I have a trim appointment next month. After that I think I'm going to dye my hair jet black and keep playing with temp color to curb my hair boredom.

Adwoa Beauty came out with a new clarifying shampoo and conditioner. Tempted to try.

 

[GettingKinky]

UFD is having a 50% off sale -limit 3 bottles. I want to stock up but they have finally show that they changed their ingredients so I’m not sure I want 3 bottles of the new stuff.

Ugh. Remind me to add KCKT and Jell-O shot to my list.

I also need to just do another kinky curly wash and go. That combo always serves me well.

Yes, most of my gels are humectant heavy and for me it doesn't work in the winter. I could use KCCC but its on the expensive side to use every 2-3 days so just keep it stretched @GettingKinky

Dboes this mean you aren’t going to try the new UFD?
Ecoslay is supposed to be having a sale on Monday.

I know someone who has used both the old labeling and new labeling and says they saw no difference. I'm leaning towards the label has been wrong all this time.

I’m sure I’ll try it. But now I don’t trust the company so I think I should have a solid backup.

Beautiful hair as always @oneastrocurlie
