Will you ask Allandra or Supergirl to change the name of the thread to Anthony Dickey Method?

Re: andrew dickey method

All right,
I gave it a try this morning. I used my Shescentit Blueberry Co-Wash and I bought a Beyond the Zone "styler" because it was only 5 dollars.

Looks good so far, but I am having trouble getting it dry and I need to get to the gym. I bought a diffuser attachment for my fancy dryer, but that thing never stays on. Right now I'm sitting under my vintage hood driver for about 10 minutes.
e
I took a pic when it was still wet and I'll take a pic when it's dry. We will see. Thanks for the thread!

Also... the lady at Sally's kept telling me that the Beyond the Zone wasn't what I wanted. But I'm wondering if it was a black/white thing or if she really thought I had the wrong stuff. It says on the tube "kick up the curls" and "curl defining."

I will try this sometime this summer. Never really been a wash and go girl, I like manipulating into different textures as I please. But I've been really hair lazy since shaving my head, so I'm willing to get into the wash and go life this summer

Re: andrew dickey method

I disagree with some of the things he said. I also can't see myself washing and detangling this way, I definitely need to section to access my scalp and I couldn't deal with my head if my shed hair weren't thoroughly removed, but I could try it for styling. I do like that he's encouraging the use of tools to expedite drying time. We tend to think airdrying is better, but the longer our strands remains wet the weaker they becomes overtime. A hooded dryer on cool or low is one of the best methods, IMO.

Could you ladies actually keep a routine like this for a long time? My shed hair would be coming of my ears if I didn't go in there and thoroughly removed them

 

[Joigirl]

Sounds similar to the method I already use. Only difference is that I don't wet my hair after applying the styler. Seems like it would rinse off the products on top of the hair. I might try it with my daughter. She wants to try a wash n go this soon.

I could but I would modify some things. I would use a wide tooth comb if needed during the co-washing process then use my hands for everything after that.

Re: andrew dickey method

I went to his salon twice for a consultation. I got the impression I was wasting his time since I didn't want to book an appointment right away. I don't think I'm his target audience since I asked too many questions, and wasn't trusting of his techniques on my hair.

I don't like his over use of heat, and his wash and go's don't look all that nice on everyone.

Re: andrew dickey method

Take my results with a grain of salt. I'm not very good at styling!
My hair seems to have more movement than I normally get with a wash and go.
It's very hard to get dry... my face feels sticky from the BTZ styler. Bleh.

The first pic is when it's still soaking wet. Notice my drippy shoulders.
The after pic is after the gym. Probably not the best test of the method. Deep under in the back my hair is still wet.

Wow, your hair came out very pretty! Thanks for sharing! Now I definitely want to give this a go. I'm just worried about the detangling not being enough for my coils.

Re: andrew dickey method

I tried this method and I have to say that it was the best wash and go result that I ever got. I do t know how this is considered a different method though because is seems like a combination or the Tightly Curly Method (loading the conditioner) and the Super Soaker Method (rewetting hair after application of styler). I think the uniqueness is in him showing it work for kinkier textured hair. I can also attest that redoing your hair every two days or so really does help to "train" your hair to curl because this is something I did when I was relaxed and was able to achieve curls and waves.

 

[bronzephoenix]

Do you think Flax seed gel would work as the product? I just bought some seeds and I want to make gel. My typical style is a braidout, but this may be even simpler.

Flaxseed gel totally works.

To me it's a lot different because Teri uses a brush and that tedious method of defining each curl which can take an hour. Dickey's method is much faster but weather the results are similar or not I'm not sure.

 

[Vshanell]

Kinda tried this method but modified it a bit. Pretty happy with the curl definition but my hair lacks body and bounce. I think this is due to using a lot of styler like he says. I have fine strands so this may not work for me. I'll try again with less product.

Re: andrew dickey method

Well my hair took FOREVER to dry lol. I didn't like walking around with dripping wet hair but I do like the results. I'm going to play around with stylers to see what works best. Its day 3 and still holding up in a puff

 

[bronzephoenix]

Do you have a recipe bronzephoenix?

I use 2 cups water to 1/4 cup flaxseeds. Just boil and strain once water begins to thicken

veesweets yes! It takes some time to dry initially. Ive used a hooded dryer (low,cool air) to speed it up. Also, blotting with a t-shirt or towel to absorb excess moisture helps a LOT without disturbing your curls. HTH

I tried this method and it will be my go to hair style for this summer. My best wng so far. My hair is really thick so I need more product to tame with this method. Yes drips can be annoying and my hair takes forever to dry. Also it is quick to cowash, finger detangle (vo5 gives me super slip) add product, 15 minutes for the entire process with good results. Cant complain. Thanks for sharing Lilmama1011
My texture in front is much looser than the rest of my hair

It took forever to dry for me as well. And I even tried a little diffusing and sitting under a dryer.

It worked. I don't like using so much product and the wet-forever is a big issue.

I DID like the movement I got, and the fact that it wasn't impossible to deal with by the evening.

Re: andrew dickey method

Personally I would follow my normal dc method. I would wash, dc, and after rinsing dc go straight to styling with the styler like he did. If I was dc'ing that day I wouldn't slather my hair as much as he did cuz my dc's are too expensive for all that. I think as long as you style the way he did you'll get the same results.

Some people use instant con's after they dc do that would be an option as well.

Yeah, this is still the method I use. Applying my leave-in and styler on wet hair. I always apply the leave-in on soaky, wet hair, sometimes I will then use the t-shirt to remove a little of the water and then apply my styler. I don't like my styler to become too diluted. Applying leave-in first, then using t-shirt also cuts down on the frizzies, big time.

@pokhantas- Nice to see your post. You're still my hair icon and the reason I discovered LHCF!

Re: andrew dickey method

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this method just the KKC/KT method redeux? Maybe you get a little more leeway by being prompted to bend over and scrunch as the lady does in Anthony's video, but his method doesn't seem innovative. Str8Isis was doing yt demos years ago.

In any case, it's a great method and I'm not sure why I strayed from it before. My wash n gos have been sweet as of late.

Some people may not know those methods. What are they anyway? Never heard of those or the youtuber you mentioned.

 

[Rocky91]

I tried it the other day and I could see how it'd work very well, I just could not deal with the drying time. Omg.

I tried it last night on short transitioning hair and was very impressed - in the lower back where I am all natural my curls were gorgeous my relaxed hair messed up the results in other areas but I was very impressed.

I used Wen CC and Wen styling creme.

 

[Embyra]

Dickey has been around for yeeaaaarrsss

I see some of you are just hearing about him lol

So while it's not new because his techniques have been posted on the forums for years without people saying I heard it from dickey

His curly whip is really nice I would buy it again but the good is sooo light you only get one day hair from it
The creme for kinky hair takes more work for my hair to look right

For those that asked Dickey is mixed raced his mother is white
