@GettingKinky I've never tried a fine toothed comb. I've used a denman and one of those wooden brushes before. They cause more frizz and more shrinkage. I prefer using just my fingers. Please report your results.
I don't have any fine toothed combs. I actually only have one comb and it's a wide toothed shower comb.

Hello Hydration Conditioner, which is not a leave in but I used it as one. I have since stopped using it as a leave in because I don't think my natural hair likes it but my relaxed hair did.

That may have been the problem. I only pair it with other Camille rose leave ins. Except for the honey leave in that one gave me sticky hair. Also make sure your hair is soaking wet.
 
I did a couple wash n gos with the Camille Rose leave-in collection, but none came out right, and the Honey leave in made my hair feel gross, so I promptly washed them out before I remembered to take a picture. The latte leave-in was just too thin to do anything for me, and the Honey left a sticky coating on my hair that attracted a variety of things to my hair.

Yesterday, I did a wash n go with my As I Am leave-in and Mane Choice Orchid Biotin gel. I forgot to take a pic of first day hair, but I'll take a pic when I refresh this morning. The hold and definition remind me of Wetline, but it was easier to spread.

Thank you so much for this mini-review. :hug2:

I kept contemplating if I wanted to get this. Upon reading this, I think I'll pass.:ohwell:
 
I did a wash n go with As I Am Curl Defining Jelly and Coil Defining Jelly. I feel like the Curl Defining Jelly was more liquid than the last time I got it. I almost felt like it should be in a bottle instead of a jar. My first day hair was OK. By second day, I had a fluffy frizz ball. Neither has good hold.

I keep generating errors when I try to upload pictures. I'll try from my laptop. It won't upload from my phone anymore.

What a cutie you are, @Alma Petra
I wish you could let the rest of your hair go and enjoy your texture.

Oh thanks dear! That's so kind of you to say!

You won't believe it but I am actually getting thoughts of going back to texlaxing. My natural hair is very unpredictable. It's like I get it right it gets itself right once every 30 styling attempts.

Oh well... The thing about natural hair I have learned is letting it do what it wants and learn what it wants, then it becomes more agreeable. I am just so glad we have more products and techniques than we had 20 years ago.

You are right. I hope to be able to come up with something by the end of this year. Most of the time what my hair wants is to be a total mess and enjoy itself. But I can't walk out with it like it wants me to. I have to say that my twa makes it seriously challenging to achieve a decent looking bun. Buns used to be my go-to thing!! I can't wear a wash and go to work because I have to wear a cap there and it transforms the style into a real mess so that I dread taking the cap off when it's time to go home. It's the last piece of clothing I take off while changing at the end of the day lol

Oh le struggle!

I like the way you styled it in the pics. Looks chic.

Thank you dear! It doesn't always turn out the same but yes I think that it does look funky. I can't though go have my official photos taken today with 1/4th of my hair a twa and the other 3/4th in a bun :lachen:

I am going to keep experimenting to see if I can come up with quick reliable styles that can serve different purposes. Maybe if the twa grows a bit longer I can twist it or braid it or pin it down into the bun. We'll see.
 
This morning I ate breakfast washed and styled my hair and got dressed in 50 minutes. :)

I applied my leave in and gel in 4 sections. I used a ton of each and it went really quickly.

I like the combo of KCKT and KCCC but next week I may try wet line again since it's so cheap.

I'm still not wearing my hair loose. Maybe when it gets longer and has more hang/less shrinkage.

I really like my hair on the first day. But since I only wash once I week I have to figure out a really quick mid week refresh.
