Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Alma Petra]

I thought about mixing gels with oils, but I get pissed off and toss the gels, lol.

Ugh, I have not used condish in yearsss. Leave-ins never worked for me, so I guess I could try a cheapie rinse-out and send the leftovers to someone.

If you want to leave it in you will need to dilute it a lot to avoid getting flakes this time around, because rinse-outs are heavy. But if you want to condition and rinse out, you can try maybe Herbal Essences Bee Strong? It's my favourite rinse-out

My hair this morning after yesterday's wash session: Clay mix then DC with Alikay Naturals Avocado Cream. Rinsed, then coated with my ayurvedic shea mix and topped with diluted KCCC (with a lil ECO flaxseed on ends). Wearing the same style as last week.
I think I'm finally falling for shea butter, and a version of Eco.

Did a wash and go late last night. When I took my hat off yesterday after getting home from work, I just couldn't go another day with my twists being as messy as they were.
Wet my hair down, reapplied leave in (Soultanicals Frizz Whiz), and raked Wetline gel (clear, old formula) through.
The right front side of my head won't let me be great

C/P from the What are your weekend hair plans? thread

• Clarified with Neutrogena anti-residue shampoo (This was my first time using this. I like how my hair felt after I washed it. Some of the online reviews complained about the scent but it didn't bother me.)
• Did the Aphogee two step protein treatment
• Deep conditioned with Deva's Melt Into Moisture
• Did my WNG today with APB leave in, shea butter - I'm kinda lurking in the 2018 shea challenge - and Eco Styler Black Castor and Flaxseed Oil gel

I colored my hair with henna this weekend. I styled with the mane choice leave in and biotin gel.

As much as I wish my hair looked longer, shrinkage is my friend. When it shrinks, it looks so thick and full. When it's more stretched, it looks a bit scraggly.

I was never one to believe my hair could look good with just oils, but my hair does! I've relied on gels for a decade to the detriment of my hair's health.

Bad thing is that I don't want oils all over my pillow case and sheets.

Maybe I'll go no product. Who knows.

Same here! That is the main reason I want length.

Do you use oils for sealing and/or oil rinsing? I do mainly oil rinsing and go.

I oil rinse and go, and I love it!

Really? I am not alone... *sniffle*

But seriously, I have not had a problem with oily pillowcases and I wear a silk bonnet (shiny side in) most nights. I have to find a new way to put my hair away at night as it almost fills up the bonnet. I hate handling my hair dry, though.

 

[Alma Petra]

I want to do an oil rinse and go but I'm sure my hair will be very dry without product

I've gotten to the point where I'm 100% confident wearing a wash n go pony tail. I can even refresh it midweek and get rid of frizz. The next step is to gain confidence wearing it loose.

@GettingKinky, do you mind sharing your technique? I got sick doing a full WnG because it's too cold but a ponytail would work for sure.

@Daina
When I prepare my hair for a wash n go pony tail I liberally apply KCNT and KCCC on soaking wet hair. Then I French twist the front and pull my hair into a pony tail. When I need a mid-week refresh I spray the frizzy parts with water and apply a little more KCCC. I'm very hair lazy and this works pretty well for me.

Wng tips

Great tips... now I want a WNG.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I did a wng this weekend that failed. I used Eco Style Gel (Black Castor and Flaxseed) over HairVeda Heavy Cream. Hair was undefined, sticky, shrunken, etc.

However, today's/yesterday's wng is awesome.

For it, I used Bronner Brothers firm hold curling gel (see above) over left-in DevaCurl Decadence One Condition. I followed the tips in the video I linked above (except I air dried because I don't have a hard bonnet dryer yet).

Usually my hair shrinks up to the top of my ears and is fro-y. This Bronner Brothers gel delivered. It indeed reduced bulk, as advertised! The hold is SUPER strong.

I was in the process of banding my hair when I noticed a section of hair in my undercarriage just completely vertical when dry!!! My hair NEVER falls/lays like this when dry.



I was too heavy handed with the gel (it was my first use ). I can't wait to try it again.

My hair is completely dry below. I love the elongation.

Thank you!

I did the MHM (I do it every once and a while). I used VO5 Moisture Milk, Castor Oil, and Wetline Gel to define the curls.

 

[GettingKinky]

@YvetteWithJoy i watched the video you posted about the stretched wash n go. I don't have a blow dryer or a bonnet dryer so I can't dry my roots first but I did make sure to apply a lot of gel to them. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I can't wait to hear how it turned out!

It came out fine, but I think I need a dryer to really reduce shrinkage. Maybe I'll get a blow dryer. I can't see myself pulling out a bonnet dryer every week.

 

[GettingKinky]

I wish my hair was more coily. It's much more crinkly than coily.
