[pinkchocolatedaisy]

Your hair looks goodt girl! That last picture showing the front is

Awww thank you!!

 

[pinkchocolatedaisy]

I have to say CRN Curl Love is soooo moisturizing! My hair stays sooo soft and if I didn't need to wash my hair I probably would've pulled 3rd day hair.

Anyway, I washed deep conditioned my hair and surprise...another WnG lol. No gel today...just the Curl Love and plopped for about 10 minutes. Not sure how I feel about it yet. May put it in a bun

Eta: also put argan oil on top

Lurking now that I'm natural. Maybe I can learn a trick or two.

Hey @divachyk I've always loved your hair. I hope you stay a minute and grace us with pictures of your beautiful hair. Come on out of lurkdom.

 

[divachyk]

@Coilystep! You totally made me smile. Thank you so very much. I truly appreciate the and I will come out of lurkdom. I just didn't want to interrupt the flow but I'll gladly participate. So for starters, I love the Camille Rose line for my WnG! Curl Maker is awesome! I don't WnG on a particular schedule because my husband is undergoing major health issues so hair is not the priority right now. Can't wait to learn from you all.

My ends were getting a little tied up so I reset my hair last night, from my wash last Tuesday (I also spritzed NW21 on my scalp and massaged). I undid my banana clip, and rinsed my hair in the shower, leaving the top in the two braids. I smoothed a little APB UCS through my loose section, and then applied diluted KCCC in small sections. Left it to air for a bit and then clipped it all up again. For bed, I tied with a silk scarf to set.

I'm on day 4 of my wash - n -go. It has survived 2 major workouts where i was sweating like crazy. i refreshed in the shower last night by actually letting the stream hit it for a few seconds. I added some shea butter mix to seal after. diffused a bit so I wasn't going to bed with soaking hair put on my silk scarf and was good to go. It was a little flat this morning but the steam from my shower woke it up.

ETA it has softened up with daily moisturizing.

It will be better once you get your preferred products.
That's why I always try to have a back up to my back up in my stash.

Seems like I needed a back up to back up the back up stash! LOL! I'm gonna go back to purchasing the 5 lb jar of Eco!

Day 5 let stream from shower work it's magic

 

[pinkchocolatedaisy]

On day 4...

Day 2 I couldn't take it...I NEED gel lol. Added my curlmaker and was good to go.

Yesterday I rocked a top bun and the rest down.

Last night I touched up a few sections with eco coconut and a bit of water. Banded before bed. Woke up late as heck this morning. Fluffed and thats it.

Will probably most likely cowash tomorrow. Hair feels dry and even tho I'm enjoying the wild woman hair look frizz and all, I am certain it's getting tangled.

Does curl junkie have gel.

@Coilystep
Yes, it is called Pattern Pusher Gel.

 

[Sharpened]

In a few videos, it was recommended to use gel on damp to nearly dry hair to reduce shrinkage. I don't care about shrinkage, but like to try new things and ideas. I dried my hair in 8 twists/bantu knots for a day, then heavily applied Wetline Gel, smoothing it through until my hair started to separate. Maybe I had used too much gel or the wrong one, because it shrank up like normal.

Today, since my gelled hair was going every which way upon waking, I decided to wet my hair in the shower and position it where I wanted it to go. My hair was heavy! I never felt that sensation before. When I did a little shake to remove some drips *ouch* twinge in my neck. Why me?

I will say this: the vendor or company that creates a styling product that gives super coilies like me a true "wet look" for multiple days will become a millionaire.

YOU AIN'T NEVAH LIED! Straight millionaire, if not BILLionaire. I'd pay up to $45 for 8 ounces of such a product--EASILY.

BEAUTIFUL! I love it.

Day 2 shrinkage - some sections of my roots are still wet! I do not believe I will be doing this again anytime soon:

The day these coils drag on my shoulders dry will signal the introduction of buns (if that ever happens).

 

[Coilystep]

Washed last night with Aussie moist shampoo and conditioner. Then applied Shea moisture raw Shea butter leave in (using up sm products I have in my stash) and wet line. I was pretty heavy handed with my application. I sat under hooded dryer for an hour last night. It's still wet close to my scalp. It also got a little wet in shower this morning.
My bangs are too long for my normal side part. So I'm exploring other parts. I'm not really feeling the middle part but it is starting to grow on me.

It's also time to cover my greys again. No matter where I part it the greys are saying

 

[Sharpened]

@Coilystep have you tried bobby-pinning the front to "shorten" it?

My hair twin! Wow

I haven't tried that. Thanks for suggesting.

 

[Sharpened]

My hair twin! Wow

Really? Did you see the mostly dry 2nd day pics?

 

[pinkchocolatedaisy]

Lovely hair ladies. I spent part of my weekend in the ER so I'm too lazy to really style my hair. It's up in a bun lol. When I'm feeling better I'm gonna test out shingling with my KCCC.

Glad you are out of there! You alright?

 

[pinkchocolatedaisy]

@Sharpened yes I'm ok now, thanks for asking. Just tired. What started out as annoying bloating and discomfort resulted in severe stomach pain that had me sweating and crying. I guess my body needed the rest too. So its buns for me this week!

 

[uofmpanther]

I've been wet bunning mainly and not posting pictures because my coils aren't clumping right. I think i may have mild protein overload, so I'm going to lay off the EcoStyler for a bit, do a good DC before my next wash n go, and use a gel without protein. Hopefully, that fixes the problem.

Is Wetline protein free?

Also, does anyone know the difference between the As I Am coil defining jelly and the curling jelly?

 

[Sharpened]

...and it continues to shrink:

Two areas took nearly two days to dry, irritating. I may try banding, but in no rush to do so.

I've only ever used the curling jelly. I think the other one is thicker. The curling jelly comes in a big jar. I've never seen the defining jelly in a big jar and that's why I've never purchased it.
