Scrolling in my old pics and this is exact what I need to go back to is this shape. Ugh. It's way too short in the back as of now though :Nono: but I can still take some length off the front to help me achieve it somewhat until it grows in fully.

I've been rinsing/washing my hair every day for about 2 weeks now. Surprisingly, its working out rather nicely.

I'll probably use the Terra Veda Organix products today or tomorrow, not sure yet.

Going to my office Christmas party after work today. Decided to style my hair a little different. I didn't fluff it like I normally do. I slicked the sides with more product.

What is your hair type and would you say you are more cottony or silky?

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

The one thing I enjoy about wash n go's is that I don't have to think about it. I already know what's up and don't have to worry about styling options.

You know what? I don't even know

My front top section is silky, my crown is a combo of silky cottony and the rest kinky (i think).

I used to think i was 3c at the front and top and 4a for the rest because the coils are crazy tight. But looking at pics of other naturals who are 3c/4a I'm now confused. I found figuring out my hairs porosity benefited more than my hair type.

Hope that helps.

I agree. It's just so quick and simple. Even when I wear it down it looks like I took a lot of time styling it. Just rake some product in and go about my day.

Fully Dry

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Today's WNG before the shrinkage sets in...I used the KCKT and KCCC.

 

[whiteoleander91]

beautiful wngs, ladies!

My hair today. I used Olive Oil Eco Styler with Suave Damage Care mixed with safflower oil, and some Shea Moisture Yucca and Baobab Thickening Growth Milk underneath. No activator gel today, trying something new. My hair is 65-70% dry:

 

[mssoconfused]

Either I'm doing something wrong or my hair does not like to be diffused. I seriously may be doing something wrong. I feel like my hair is dryer and coils tighter when i diffuse (at my roots). Anyone else experience this?

 

[Karmi]

Karmi how did you apply it?

I part my hair in 4 sections and then smooth it in working through each section. I like the praying hands method it makes the curls spring into place.

I don't like to diffuse I think my air dried looks much better. I'm not going out with dripping hair either.

My hair doesn't like to be diffused, either. It increases my shrinkage and makes my hair seem massive lol

Thanks! I bought it recently. Used it a few times but trying to apply it a different way for better results. Do you use anything underneath?

 

[Karmi]

^^^ oneastrocurlie - Sure, no problem.

I left a little Tresseme natural in my hair after cowashing and sealed with olive oil. I don't think I needed the olive oil though. I really like this stuff.

I'd love to see your results using the gel

Karmi Will do. I think I'll give it another go this week.

That makes me feel a little better, lol! I just can't stand how dry it seems to make my roots! Luckily I live in Texas and even now it's still 60/70 degrees. I'm just going to have to wake early and give myself enough time to let my hair dry at least 50% before leaving the house.

 

[SweetlyCurly]

This is my wash n go from Sunday. It looks so different and shrunken when my hair is dry. Keeping well so far

Hair wet on Sunday




Today

 

[Karmi]

^^^ Gorgeous!!! It still looks so fresh.

 

[whiteoleander91]

I have so much hair gel left to try *massages temples*

I still have a unused jar of KCCC that I got back in the spring some as I am curling jelly (whatever it's called), some urban fudge power gel, aunt Jackie's don't shrink flaxseed enlongating curling gel, isoplus styling gel, and some samples of ampro pro styl Argan oil gel (protein free). Lawd. I think I have a problem. I use up one product but still have fifty more to get through LOL. I'm a sucker for gel. Save me from my pj ways!!! I'm gonna try the aunt Jackie's either today or tomorrow....or Friday. I'll let yall know how I like it. Sorry for any typos, on my phone

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

WNG day two. I stretched my hair overnight by placing it in two low puffs. I used the Kinky Curly Spritz to refresh and fluffed.

Anyone else getting a bit bored of their wng...?

Eta: I've decided to switch it up a bit with some roller setting! So excited, lol

I'm not. It's my comfort zone. DH wants me to try other things he says that I wear it the same all the time. My thing is however when I was permed I wore the exact same hair style everyday. Parted on the right it was just straight. He says straight hair is different. That doesn't make since to me. Anyway I plan to try some roller sets eventually but wash n goes have made me lazy.
