Fact: Eco Castor does not offer me more than 2 day hair. At this stage of my wash n go life, that is unacceptable! I'll be back with pics of today's wng with my tried & true Eco Olive...with a twist. My PJ crept up on me as I roamed the aisles of Walgreens yesterday. I have a new leave in after using Aunt Jackies faithfully for over a year! It plays well with Eco so, so far so good. Let's see what it do after a day in the office.

What is the new leave-in? Does it give better results than Quench?
 


In summary:

1. Still follow regular hair maintenance
2. Use products that work for your hair and your desire for wash and goes
3. Don’t be afraid to use gel
4. Do them often to “train” your hair [where to go]
5. Get as many days as possible out of your wash and go (but watch out for Tip #4)

I do agree with her. Wng's are very low manifestation for me because I don't have to touch my hair for a week. I love big hair but I've accepted that to get a long lasting wng I need to start out with really defined, gelled hair and just let it expand as days go on. If I had to add anything to what she had to say I would recommend shingling. I noticed much less tangles since I've been shingling without my denman brush. The denman is great for definition but if gives me major tangles.
 
@VinaytheMrs Hey doll :) please google and explore the Hay's method. That particular combination of nourishing carrier and essential oils & the hot towel process helped me out TREMENDOUSLY in my early years as a natural recovering from relaxer damage. Be loyal and consistent with whatever method you use to regrow the bald spot. There are quite a few that are viable out there! Good luck Sis!

I applied extra oil directly to scalp with my bottle's nozzle and somewhat shingled my hair with The Mane Choice gel, heavily, from root to tip.

The things I learned from this:

1. I don't care whar anyone says, raking product through hair in small sections and/or shingling is not "wash and go." More like, "rake and define."

2. Finger-detangling in the shower and finger-styling dry differ in one big area: pain. Warm water sluicing over me seems to prevent my back and arms from seizing up. Yeah, I'm old.

3. I still don't care about curl definition.

4. This crap takes too long.

5. That brief moment when you think, "Oh, look, I'm styling my hair like the girls on YouTube," grimacing at the amount of white gunk gel produces with water just like they do, and reminding yourself it will vanish once the hair is dry, just like them.

6. Scalp is not happy and is determined to stay sore at me.

7. The Mane Choice gel is not for hold. To me, it is a gel that acts like a funny leave-in.

8. No matter what, my hair will be shrunken the next day, defined or not. Well, scratch that, that is a given all the time.

9. I had to somewhat shingle the sides between the temple and ear, or it would be sticking out like a mad scientist, since that is where the pensprings live.

10. It will be a long time before I do this again.

I guess I better get pics of this today.

I love shingling and I love raking and shaking. They both give me different looks. I have to work in sections. If I don't and just applied products to the top layer of hair whole sections would be missed. I have too much hair to not work in sections.
 
OK, pics! I am not seeing much difference between this and my regular oil and water routine. Less fizz, sure:

I like this one below, ever though the part collapsed. Time to use bobby pins, even though I do not care for them:

I am on day #5 of this "rake and define" style. Although it shrank a bit more, it is still holding up. One section along the front edge like to act up:

So, I decided to fix it:

After wetting my fingers under the faucet, I dampened that area and reapplied The Mane Choice gel. I tried to use a little bit, but it stayed the same. I then smooth in some more, enough to where the coils separated on their own and let go:

They will return to their tight little selves as the day goes by.
 
Wash n go using Camille rose curl love and curl maker. I did a quick wash this morning with treseme flawless curls shampoo and used suave clarifying conditioner to detangle. Divided my hair into four sections then applied the curl love then split section into smaller section sprayed with water then applied curl maker with raking and shaking motion. It's taking me about 30 minutes to do my whole head. I set under my hooded dryer for an hour. It was still a little damp now it's dry. C8F29852-6AD8-42AC-A46C-C56FE581EE1B.jpg
 
Ladies, what are you doing to your hair when you workout? I've been wearing two low pigtails but I need to start rinsing my scalp because apparently I sweat heavily.

Hey @MeaWea I don't do anything extra to my hair at the gym. I will put a head band occasionally but nine times out of ten I forget to bring one with me. I will usually just put it behind my ears and keep it pushing. I'm a heavy sweater and I usually will let the water from the shower get on of it gets too sweaty. It's not a full wash but it helps. I will add more conditioner and gel as needed.

Ok.
I've been afraid to do the rinse because my hair is hipo and tangle prone. Tonight I'm wearing a headband & my hope is that it helps some.

Have you seen the new Cantu ACV cleansers/products. At least one can be used without applying water. I don't know how good/effective it is.
