Discovered a great combo for my hair: Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk as leave-in, KCCC with Garnier Pure clean gel on top. I love my hair like this! Going to try the Camille Rose Curl Maker gel for my next wash n go. Sent from my iPad using LHCF

Lazy attempt at a puff on my wng & I was pleasantly surprised! It's still way too tight & gives me a headache (big head problems), so it will be a little while before I wear it officially. But I was super excited!

MissMusic I love your results. Your hair is so beautiful and thick. You have inspired a 4c girl to try a wash and go.
Question: do you airdry your hair or do you use a diffuser?
Do you apply your product on damp or wet hair?
What is your favorite gel and why?
What would give me the best hang time so my hair doesn't shrink up to my scalp?
I'm sorry for all the questions. You probably described your method a thousand times. Please share again.
Any of you wash and go queens with 4b/c hair who don't mind, please share as well. Thank you ladies.

I glad you are willing to give it a try. I saw a 4c natural in ATL with the most beautiful WNG. Her hair was soooo thick, heathy and shiny. I wish I'd taken a picture. Her fro was bomb!

I Iove that leave-in, it's one of the few spray leave in conditioners that work on my coily hair.

Ditto. That one and the Alikay Naturals leave-in

1. I was air drying when it was warm outside. Now that it is cooler, I sit under my dryer for 45 minutes and let the roots finish air drying the rest of the day. Diffusing doesn't seem to work well, but it could be my lackluster technique
.2. I have to apply product to dripping wet to combat frizz and to get hang time. I do mean dripping wet! I apply leave-in, spray the section down to be sure it is dripping wet and apply gel.
3. My favorite gel's are Xtreme Wetline Gel ( I purchase it at Sally's) with Garnier Pure Clean Gel on top and Kinky Curly Curling Custard with Garnier Pure Clean Gel on top. I haven't found a plethora of gel's that work, but I am still on the hunt and will update this thread as I go.
I also find that it is important to use generous amounts of leave-in conditioner. That is what defines your pattern, the gel gets rid of some of the frizz and gives hang time.
Feel free to ask as many questions as necessary, I am trying to make more converts of the 4c's. Usually people just try to tell me that I am not a 4c

I just spent some times reading through most pages of this thread. Oh my... Such curl porn going on here, lolll.
Joigirl thanks. Your hair has unicorn status to me. It looks so soft, hydrated, and healthy.
I never open up this thread only because I I never think about a wash and go on my type of hair. I have been watching miss music previous thread about her wash and go s, but I was not convinced (that she was a true 4b,lol). Then I saw her YouTube videos, and her recent pictures. I really want to try it out.

Thank you so much. This really helps. I will come back with pictures when I try it out.1. I was air drying when it was warm outside.

I straightened my hair Thursday night/Friday morning 
, and I was shocked at how many knots I found 
!! I don't know how this happened, but I have so many splits 
.
Oh a positive note
, I found lost way less hair than I did the other 2 times I straightened! I used a vented brush to blowdry my hair and it was better in every way possible 
. I also used a little grease before I flatironned, and I only needed to do 2-3 passes and my hair isn't reverting yet like it did both times before.

Haven't posted in a while. Loving all the hair porn.
Still doing my wng, I thought about putting braids in but I'm so afraid of having a set back. I need to make it to shoulder length curly by summer 2015!
Wash n go using KCCC, forgive my dark eyebrows needed to run out, no time to do them correctly Lol.

wasn't gonna go to bed with a wet head so used a blow dryer. Curls got kinda frizzy but I like it. Will band before bed for length.
Here's a tip I found here and on youtube: to prevent white balls from forming in your hair here's a test to see if your styler and gel mesh well. Blend a pea size amount of styler and pea size amount of gel in the palm of your hand. If your hand turns white, they're not compatible. If it turns clear, you got a match!

My first real wash and go. (The last two times I tried it I twisted my hair at night and then took them down in the morning before they were completely dry. I also skipped the gel.)
I pre-treated my hair with L'oreal Total Repair 5 conditioner (love, will revisit). I cleansed with Ouidad Curl-Cowash (HG cleanser). I then treated my hair with Shea Moisture African Black Soap Purification Masque (HG prepoo/cleanser/treatment). I deep conditioned with Koils by Nature Ultra Moisturizing Coco-Aloe Deep Conditioner (HG deep conditioner).
I then used Kinky Curly Knot today (I really hate how this feels going onto my hair. On the other hand it gave good coil definition) followed by the Kinky Curly Curling Custard (I think its
, but what I don't like is the price ).
I never thought I could do wash and go's but after last night I am intrigued.

I outside maybe 3 minutes tops. I'm really haven't had to alter my routine yet. What have you changed?how are you wearing your hair this week?

Last night I used Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk and Camille Rode Curl Maker. The products are not compatible as they left a white cast on my hair, but I love the definition this Gel gives! My hair is moisturized, defined, has hang, has volume and doesn't have crunch. Next time I use it, I will try a different leave-in. If I can get rid of the product reaction, this will be my fav gel.
