True. I remember when he was testing out his product line in the salon my friend used to go to. That was about 10 years ago

Thanks for sharing this. I used to do sopping wet hair w product every day when my hair was shorter. Now it seems too long. I don't have time to do the heat and air drying would ruin my blouses and take all day. I'm always throwing it up. I'll try this on a day when I have nothing to do.

I've heard about him for years just never paid attention to any of his techniques.

did it again and it worked perfectly. My hair is super defined and layed 
The drying time kills me, though. I forgot how well co-washing works for my hair. Which moisturizing condishes with slip are you guys using? Which products?
I used miss jessies or sisters iii nature co-wash, then whatever DC I can find and then KCCC or Uncle Funky's Daughter.
How long are you guys drying your hair for?

Trial run of this method, no modifications. My hair is less curly and more wavy like a braid out but it's frizzing up as I type this.
This is a quick method but I don't think I will get multiple day hair from this and I can't be sitting under the dryer everyday. It took about a half hour under the dryer to dry and it was still damp in some spots.
Excuse my attire lol.

I tried his exact method on my 4b hair:
Wet
Dry
Drying was not too bad. I lightly blotted the coils that framed my face with a turbie twist and went on with my day. After the first hour, my hair was no longer dripping wet. 12 hours later, my hair was still damp, but a quick blow dry fixed that.
Overall this is my best WNG and I got tons of compliments. My hair is very moisturized, soft and still detangled. I'm currently wearing second day hair, which is a bit frizzy and shrunken, but still nice. Best of all, this style took about 20 minutes in the shower
I'm kicking myself for not paying attention to Dickeys method before.

Tried this today for the second time this week. I think this may be my go to style for the Summer. I've been bunning for about a year and don't have the patience or time for braid outs right now - I have been in a hair rut and not enjoying my hair at all.
I styled my hair in the shower before work today. Co-washed with Hello Hydration. Layered on KCKT, Castor Oil, and KCCC with praying hands. Doused head with water and shook my hair updside down before leaving the shower. Used a regular towel to wring out excessive water, then put my hair up in a tshirt to catch the drippies then drove to work. Yes I looked all kinds of crazy with a shirt on my head in the car, but it was for my hair experiment! Shower style took 10 extra minutes to my routine. Took the shirt off, shook my hair once more and went in the office.
My hair is defined without being crunchy. I've gotten great definition on my 4A/4B hair using this method.

His method is very similar to my regimen and I love my results. The key for me is always starting with soaking wet hair. I rinse or cowash every day and only use a gentle shampoo once a week. I apply my leave in, moisturizer and a light oil to my soaking wet hair, then use a lot of gel. I apply everything by finger combing and focusing on stretching my hair out. I'll spray it with more water then finger comb it a bit more, then just leave it to airdry if I'm wearing a wash and go. If not, I'll bantu knot it so I'll have a nice stretched curly style for work the next day.

This regimen works fantastic! I didn't realize this had a name though...
anyway I hav eased this method since I shaved my head a year and a half ago, I can also say IT HELPS WITH GROWTH. Hands down this method is the reason why every six months I have to jump into a new thread (twa -> shoulder -> apl)
The water keeps your hair moisturized and soft
You are washing and accessing your scalp every 1-3 days
I can now go without shampooing for 3-6 months (works especially well if you are using all natural products as they always wash out with conditioner)
Manipulation may seem like an issue but I have had no breakage problems and I have been using this method from shaved -> APL (and I have dyed my hair TWICE lol)
Frick I even pineapple at night too!
I feel some kinda way about all these white folks capitalizing on the natural hair community because everything he said can be found in various threads on this forum but I digress...

ITA! Unfortunately I only started this regimen after I texturized for the first time after years of my natural hair being the same length, but since then I noticed my hair 'grows' very quickly. If it wasn't for an annoying setback last year that I'm still recovering from, I'm sure I'd have hit my length goal by now.
Anyway, I started this regimen as a shortcut to the regimen my stylist gave me after my first texturizer in 2012. After 12 weeks my hair was DEFINITELY longer. I never knew that my hair needed that much moisture to retain length properly. When I was natural I'd never dare wet my hair every day because of the effort involved in dangling and stretching it. Sucks that I didn't find out that that was hindering my length retention until I wasn't natural anymore, but hopefully my experience will help some natural or there.
Your hair is so Purdy !! -Stares mesmerized-

Ladies, thank you for the feedback & responses. All the posts helped me tremendously with my hair rut/dilemma.
Earlier I told my sister I decided not to bother scheduling a hairdresser appt because I don't know who to call & want to save $$. After reading this thread I think I found a solution. I do have AS I AM Cowash - (never opened).
After my run to the cleaners, I'll shop around for a styler. I need to fix my hair this weekend & so I'll try this tomorrow morning & see if I can achieve 2-3 day hair.

Pokahontas The creator of Kinky Curly Curling Custard (KCCC, not KKC) and Knot Today used to have a demo up on YT of her applying the custard to her hair in the shower.

Str8isis did a demo, too. Pretty much the same method except being in the shower.

I guess 2008 was a while ago, but to me it seems like it was just yesterday. Guess I just aged myself.

I tried applying product to soaking wet hair. It's been 6 hours, my hair is still soaking wet, and it looks about the same as when I leave my hair in a microfiber towel for 15 minutes before applying product. This may not be great for low porosity if you don't want to diffuse.

The wet hair was a turn off for me. I had better luck when I used a Suave conditioner (I forget which one... the one that is sleek/smooth, etc.) It dried a bit faster than with the Beyond the Zone product.
I had it in my mind that I'd give it a try with my Shescentit Pomegranate Conditioner, but no go... I love that stuff, but it doesn't add any weight to my hair at all. (Which is usually a good thing.)

This is my homie! He's been cutting my hair since 2006/2007. I'm honestly not a fan of the hair rules product line other than the cleansing cream which I really like, but I've never been unhappy with my hair cuts or the advice he gives. My hair takes forever to dry, especially a at the salon because of the saturation and the fact my hair just holds on to water. I usually end up doing my own hair over the next day.

So I retried this method, but this time I wanted to make sure my hair was completely dry in 12 hours. So I skipped my super heavy leave - in, and just hoped water would suffice. I only used gel and EVCO. Lastly, to ensure that my hair would dry completely, I shook it out very well. I pretty much shook my hair as long as I could. My hair did not drip at all and it dried completely by midnight. This morning, my hair is still soft and defined. The best part? No SSKS or tangles!
