I would love to wear a WNG but I haven't figure out how to do so yet. Even if I can get some coils after the gel within 2 hours my hair just starts to dry out and fro. I will try it again when the weather gets warmer and my hair gets a little longer. It needs to be long enough to put into a puff if it fails :yep:

Did you lose weight? Your face looks thinner.
 
faithVA, before I got my moisture game downpat, when I wanted a Wng, I would twist my hair and let it dry completely. Then, apply a gel over the twists, like KCCC, and wet the twists to where the hair wasnt soaking wet but not damp either. Un-twist the hair and shake my head. Don't touch and let airdry.

Instant coils/curls.

Go through the posts and get some suggestions on products and techniques. There are a lot of great tips in here. I actually gained about 12 pounds over the holidays unfortunately. I working on losing it. I need to really get on it. My fortieth is in about five months and I plan on being in top form
 
^^Thanks ladies. I have read the entire thread. I will experiment in the spring. I need to have warmer weather to experiment with and like I said hair long enough for a puff. The last thing I need is a failed WNG that I can't put up.

I'm not feeling optimistic enough about it right now to give it a try. :nono:
 
Today's WNG

picture.php


CoWash - V05 clarifying conditioner
Deep condition - APB ayurvedic mask (used a sample that I got in an order. The product worked well, but I hated the Belgian truffle scent.)
Leave in - APB leave in in Coconut Lime Verbena
Oil - Combo of jojoba, JBCO and argan oils
gel - MopTop medium hold

Pineappled last night and then spritzed this morning with SM coconut/hibiscus spray after steaming in the shower
 
Ladies I need help! I used TJ TTT then applied my FSG then A little Eco to my 8 sections for extra definition and I got this. How can I get my hair to be more defined like when it's wet (pics on bottom)

how are you applying the gels and how much? I find that I have to go section by section. I start from the back with a section that's maybe an inch up I put the rest of my hair in a ponytail on the top of my head. I really don't use combs or brushes anymore. I take whatever styling product I'm using and coat the section of hair I'm working with then rake my fingers through. Sometimes at this point I will wrap sections around my fingers to make ringlets. But raking alone produces good results. You may need to use more gel. I've never use FSG (I'm to lazy to make my own products). I don't really like Eco I find it to heavy.
 
I part my hair in to twelve sections and smooth each product in using the praying hands. I use about a quarter size of conditioner, fsg, and eco styler but The eco made it too crunchy for my liking.

Ill definitely try the coiling in the back since its basically frizz. Thanks!

Are you still transitioning? It looks like you have an inch of some bone straight ends and or heat damage. If you don't I apologize but it's hard to get your hair to cooperate you want it when the ends are straight and the roots are curly.

You may have different curl patterns that won't curl to the same degree no matter what products or techniques you use. I would start off with making sure the hair is property moisturized. After cutting out the relaxer it took me about 3 months of constant deep conditioning before I could actually see my curls and keep them when my hair dried. And even still i have a kisser curl in the front and top of my head.
 
Deva cut was a success! I'm very happy with my results and it felt great not to blow dry or flat iron just to trim. I'll definitely be going back to Angela in May or June for another trim. She asked a lot of questions about my hair and talked me through the process. Her first question was "how often do u straighten your hair?" She doesn't recommend the deva cut for straight haired naturals. She cuts it wet for people who flat iron often. Here are the results idk what's up with this forum but it's only allowing me to post one pic at a time. Oh well. There's no product in my hair except coconut oil. She styled it with the deva cream but deva products just don't agree with my hair so I washed it out when I got home and applied coconut oil only. Just so it can dry fast. I snapped a pic in the car right before I went in. She cut off about 2 inches in the front and an inch in the back.

Thank you! I am trying to get better at doing new styles too, but it is hard when it does not come naturally.

Wash day today and I think I will stick with Twist outs and braid outs for a while, but I will visit to ogle all the pics!
 
1st wash n go after my trim. Man I sure wish my entire head curled like the back of my head lol but that's ok. Co washed with tresseme naturals (I ran out of wen), used Shea moisture curl and style milk, and herbal essences set me up gel.


I found out that I'm going to take a trip to LA the second week of May. That will be my 3 month mark for a trim/shaping. So I'm going to call tomorrow to see if I can get an appointment booked with Shaimiel The Curl Doctor. That would make my day :yay: he's $225 smh ...but that will be my 31st birthday present to myself :lol: and it's well worth it.

Nope bc'd end of november. The front of my hair is wavy and heat damaged straight so I can't even finger curl it. I hate heat damage :nono:
 
I thought that I had jumped out of this challenge, but this wash n'go made me jump right back in :lachen:. After 2 weeks of wearing my hair straight, I washed it yesterday. I never get nervous about heat damage until water is touching my head. But after flatironing on 450 with only sweet almond oil, my hair snapped back completely. I didn't even DC!!!

I slept with 5 baby pineapples in last night, and I love how my hair came out. I haven't used EcoStyler and V05 in a long time, but I am absolutely crazy about the results :love:.

This is my wash n go with Kenra firm styling gel 17 and intakera leave in. My hair feels nice and not crunchy. It left me with fluffy hair. Its just ok. I think i prefer the gel to blow dry my hair. It dries fasts too.

Used tresemme flawless curls conditioner and gel. The back is perfect.
