The drippies were bugging me today, so I pressed a t-shirt firmly around my ends, much better. Wet head in the winter never bothered me since I don't stay in the cold very long (kisses remote car starter).

The wash n go puff will be back next month. I never make puffs on dry ot damp hair. Now, I just need to not live in puffs all winter; it leads to complacency, then hair bored/laziness, then...

You had me with your gif. I thought you cut your hair until I actually read your post.

Oh, Lord, DH will be mad upset pretending like he is not for a month. That goofy tension I do not need.

I did a wash n go yesterday after using a bentonnite clay mask. OMG, my curls have never been so defined and clumped together. I would definitely recommend a bentonnite clay mask if you haven't already used one before.

What did you mix yours with?

Honey and ACV

Honey and ACV

I use the same additives but I also add alittle olive oil. I agree, I absolutely love using bentonite clay on my hair. I use it for almost every wash.

 

[discodumpling]

Hey Sisters , I'm still bout that wash n go life...even if my last wash n go was almost 2 weeks ago! I've fallen into a routine of wash n go till it can't go no mo! Then I just pony puff it till I can wash it whenever. Trust and believe my hair is suffering. Still pursuing my BSBA degree and it is getting harder as I get closer to graduation next summer; So my hair has to take a back seat for now...could be washing it now but here I am talking bout it not being about it!

'Nuff love & Thanksgiving blessings to the wash n go crew!

 

[whiteoleander91]

Happy Thanksgiving, ladies! Here is my wash and go for today.





Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

My tight, tiny, still wet wash-n-go puff. I feel like a baby:

And, yes, I am anti-slick anything, just oil and water. I clipped out 5 coils, but a few others wanted to join the party. A thousand little attitudes on my head, I swear...

Ok I need some help ladies. I know @Pokahontas @Napp and @Saludable84 have all used the curl keeper. I used it on Sunday and loved it for the most part however my hair feels dry to me. I used the curl keeper leave in and gel. It looks beautiful but feels dry to me not really crunchy but dry. Has anyone else noticed this.

My hair hated Curl Keeper. It was cute on day one but my hair was dry. I gave it 3 chances before I returned it.

Yup my hair looked awesome but felt horrible. I have not revisited it. My hair looks and feels great with Camille, kinky curly, and as I am. I rotate these brands regularly with no issues.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

Soultanicals Knot Sauce to detangle wet hair
Curl Junkie gentle cleansing shampoo
Curl Junkie Repair Me protein conditioner
Curl Junkie Curl Rehab as leave in (topped with my oil mix)
Moroccanoil Curl Cream for styling

Blown dry (would normally diffuse but we're out of town)
Pardon the crappy editing on my phone.

Washed this morning with treseme flawless curls shampoo and conditioner then styled with Camille Rose curl love and curl maker. I decided to not do bangs today.

How are you using Camille Rose Curl Maker? My sister just gave me a nearly full 12 Oz bottle. She hates the smell. It reminds me of Kinky Curly curling custard that I have not purchased in years. I usually avoid gels.

I always pair it with curl love or one of her other conditioners (except the honey one I ended up with very sticky hair that week). I go section by section raking and shaking (I follow the method that the YouTuber themaneobjective uses). The smell is very understated to me.

I feel I get better definition and longer wash n goes with gel. I don't have to do anything extra when using gel.

@naturalmanenyc how long do your wash n goes last using only cream and what do you do at night

I will test it out when I get home over my Curl Rehab.
I had a sticky hair problem earlier this month with Honey curl forming custard. I'd never had that problem before and am not sure if it just didn't play well with curl rehab.

I can generally go a week depending on the styler.
I usually pull my hair into a high ponytail but lately I've been twisting it into 3 or 4 sections and let them loose before my shower. The steam/water makes any stretched/straight curls coil up again.

Gorgeous wash and goes up in here.

@stephanie75miller do henna color your hair like this?
When I henna my hair is still its natural dark color, but my greys are red/orange

Yes this the color I'm getting with the henna. I think that since a large portion of my hair was lightened from when my hair was colored in the spring with regular dye that the henna took really well to those areas. The parts of my hair that are darker are pretty dark still. My greys are are coming out very red. So far I have hennaed twice once in October and once in November. So far I've mixed only henna and coconut milk.

Ladies, I need your expertise. I don't know how to make my current WnG last after day three. I get so much shrinkage at night
I saw someone says they band their hair, so I'll try that. So far, I've tried:
Two pigtails
One fat twist down the back
Two twists down the back
Nothing, just a bonnet
All have only got me half decent day two hair that's too shrunken to do anything with by day 3 besides a boring updo. I wanted to do a braidout today but it's like my hair knows and decided to look super defined during my DC session, so I'm going to try a wash n go again.

Are using a gel? Are you wetting in the morning? I have to use gel when styling. In the morning I let the steam loosen my hair up and then fluff with my hands when I get out of shower. I spray with water if needed.

 

[GGsKin]

Getting my hair properly hydrated in the first instance, thorough gel application from root to tip, very little manipulation, and sleeping with my head covered are what allow my wash and goes to last multiple days.

I get crazy shrinkage if I sleep with my head uncovered, otherwise it can be controlled by clipping my hair to stretch, or lightly banding before tying up with a silk.scarf.

Yep I'm using gel and a lot of it. I never thought about using water. it always seems like a lost cause to me because my hair looks too far gone. do you pineapple? Thanks!

I'll try banding tonight in 4-6 sections. . I always sleep in a satin scarf of some sort with satin pillowcases. If banding doesn't work, at least my hair would be stretched out for an updo. Thanks!

I don't pineapple. I sleep in bonnet or loc soc. My hair is a little squished in the morning but always salvageable with steam and water. Towards the end of week usually on Friday I will let my hair get wet in shower and apply a little bit of gel. Now mind you I'm not restyling but just applying gel to spots that need it.
