It's shrunken back again already, LOL, but here is my hair after banding and fluffing. Slightly bigger than without banding. Four hours ago it was even a little more stretched and face-framing.

@Napp Thanks alot. Your hair is gorge. I feel honored that you think my hair is even related to yours.This is day 4 (I think)of my blueberry bliss wash and go.
It was so fluffy and soft on day 1 that I seriously doubted it would last this long but I was pleasantly surprised. I find that unlike the other gels I do have to use my q redew to refresh it but that's not a big deal to me. It takes me like 5 mins tops to do it.
It's the end of the day and it still looks great imo.
Next time I use it I'm going to try it without the sealants because it's mostly oils and it makes my hair really soft so I don't think I need to heavily seal like I did with eco.

I haven't checked the board in a few days and there's so much beautiful hair in here.
@YvetteWithJoy I feel the same way you do. I really want to capture my wet look but I've been unsuccessful so far. At some point I hope I can accept my hair as it is.

Thanks for the affirmation and solidarity.
Yup. Sigh.
Yesterday my husband said I was ROCKING my hair in my little black halter top dress on our date. I appreciate my hair, but I wasn't wowed. It was a well-defined 'fro with a part IMO, but I don't want to wear a 'fro.
I, too, hope I get used to it and accept it. I just think the density of my 4a coils gives me big hair.
I tried to wear it again today and felt better puffing it.
The rest of my hair won't "fall" like my 3c hair in the front.

Sorry for the late response. I put my head down, gather my hair in my hands loosely twist it into a bun and secure it with a goody band. If I want a good stretch, I'll leave it on overnight when my hair is about 80-90% dry. If my hair is a little stiff, I'll add oil to loosen the gel cast. Leaving the loose bun even 15-20 minutes gives me a decent stretch.

You all are making me miss my hair.
Hey @Joigirl long time no see. I love your hair as always.
@GettingKinky check out these finger coils. I like doing them even smaller than this but this size is cute too.

So I hate the Camille rose lavender crush gel. HATE IT. I will go into more detail later along with pics. I have 2 jars idk what to do with. I really like the spritz but I need to see how it performs with another styler. I don't like the edge control but I should know by now nothing can take my edges. I feel so disappointed. In going back to my its a 10 products. Natural prproducts just don't work for me. I plan to give away all my Camille rose products. I don't like them.

I did a wash n go today with Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk and Wetline Extreme Gel. I forgot how much definition this gel gives me!

I'm just posting this because I think she's pretty and I like her definition after product application.

Please come back with what you didn't like about it. I have this gel and I really liked it. I plan to purchase it again.

Ill do a quick review. my hair curled strangely with this gel. my roots which are virgin were really puffy and undefined and my ends curled and waved unevenly. I like super definition and clumps like my siggy. With this gel my hair was a bit frizzy when it dried. It looked like day 5 hair. I liked that i had more volume than usual though. unfortunately it had no hold whatsoever. i couldnt sleep or lay on my hair or else it would be smashed beyond repair.
It was also very oily for some reason. it felt gross on my neck as it dried so i had to pull out the diffuser (im trying to stay away from direct heat) I did not use alot of product as not much was needed to define my hair. since i didnt like the hold i thought i could salvage the style and put some ecostyler on top.
This was a bad idea.
The combo congealed and my hair became like it was covered in a thick sticky grease. The gel combo was dripping down my neck and sideburns like a sticky ooze. It was supposed to be dry yall. I'm not talking about wet hair. Ive never seen something like this. it took 4 sulfate shampoos to get most of it out. it was terrible and my hair felt like crap.
thankfully i bought it at sallys and can get my money back. Im returning the whole line. the best product from that line was the spritz but im done with pjing and just gonna stick to what was working for me.

I found a playlist of tightly coiled hair. I so hope this become a trend.

Thanks! I'll enjoy this playlist gradually, for a good while.
In the video in the playlist, entitled "The Best Wash and Go EVER! with Pyua Organics," that 4c hair was DEFINED!!! She used several products and feels that the last product (the defining gel) was the main product responsible for the definition. Interesting.
Anyhoo, I have stuff I must use up first before even looking in that direction. However, it looks like you order by DMing her in Instagram or Messaging her on Facebook. She says she's working on a website and looking into Etsy to see if she wants to go that route.
ETA: I asked her about the ingredients in the gel, and she replied back fast! She said primarily aloe vera gel.

I went on vacation for a week. I was swimming in the ocean, in the pool, and out in the hot sun. The water pressure at the place we were staying was sooo low so I decided to skip washing my hair. Now I'm back home and my hair is sooo dry and and crunchy and tangled. It's going to take hours to get it back to normal and detangled. No wash n go for me today. It has to dry in braids in order to retain as much moisture as possible.
Never again.
Never again.
