Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[tapioca_pudding]

Did my cowash with the V05 this morning, left a little in. I had been going straight from the V05 to my gel, but today I layered some Sweet Almond oil on after the V05 and before the Agadir gel. MUCH better - less dry/crunchy, curls seem more defined (actually got several comments on it).

This agadir gel was just aiight. Too much of a hassle to get online and then have results that aren't worth it. So far the only online gel that's worth it is the Ampro Argan Gel, it just takes for-friggin-ever to arrive... I was hoping to find a gel I liked as well that I can find on the ground, but that hasn't happened yet.

Kinda tired of the wash n go every day, but not tired of the ease of it. FH asked if I was going to try a new hairstyle anytime soon. I told him maybe. Can't wait for this ish to grow some more..

Must. Stop. Buying. Stuff.

I probably have half a dozen bottles of V05, 2 bottles of re-constructor, 3 bottles of Giovanni gel, a full bottle of leave in (with two more on the way ), 4 bottles of hair refresher spray, and 1 ginormous bottle of Giovanni conditioner. And that's just the stuff that works for my hair. I probably have at least 6 other jars or containers of things I bought and don't like.

Are you not able to find the ampro on the ground yet? My local BSS now carries it in the small jars and in 32oz containers. Maybe you should check your local BSS and see if the carry it now or you can ask them if they can start carrying it. tapioca_pudding

whiteoleander91 Oh wow thanks for that heads up!!! When I looked a few weeks ago they didnt' have it, but I'll check again for sure. That would be AMAZING!

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Welp I checked two local beauty supply stores and neither one had the Ampro argan gel... Smh. The next time I go to the city I'm gonna hit a couple beauty supply stores to see if they have it.

I cowashed my hair this morning. But instead of leaving my hair down I put it in an updo. This was my first attempt at an updo. I'm quite pleased with my results.

my hair never dried yesterday which wasn't that big of a deal since I had swim. I'm may need to invest in a hooded dryer. I woke up super late this morning. I was rushing and did bigger sections then I normally do, and I didn't have time to do my finger twirl. It came out pretty good considering the amount of time I had.

Looks perfect to me! Your lazy wash n go is what mine looks like with effort. Lol
Seriously while i admire your finger coils i aint got time for all a that! Im trying to get my gel application down pat by applying it as if im forming a doobie and then shaking my head vigorously so the curls drop. So far so good!

Every now and again, my son lets



me do his hair.

2nd day wash n go. I used a leave in, oil, and Hello Curly gel. I usually use a butter to soften the hold, rather than an oil. My curls are a little ramen noodle like, hopefully they will soften over the next day or two. I'll stick with a butter from now in.

I am so ready to cut off that tail!

You have the perfect curls.

Definitely not perfect, but thank you! She's a work-in-progress.

Now that winter is almost over, is this thread going to stay open or are you moving to another thread?

I'm trying to work on these wngs. Not sure what to do with it when I sleep. I hate sleeping with a plastic cap on at night because my scalp itches all night. And I'm too slow to apply gel in the morning I tried the twist and pin but I haven't quite managed that and its too short for a pineapple. Maybe I can try some mini pineapples.

Friday night wash day. Sprayed with diluted kccc. Then defined small sections with As I Am.


Day 2 hair. Massaged in a little CR Aloe Whipped which softened it up.


Sunday wash. Defined with heavily diluted kccc. I may have diluted it too much.


I'm thinking I may water rinse to rewet and then work the rest of the As I Am through it to redefine it. I only have a little bit left.

I think your off to a good start. I haven't been able to style at night and get good results yet. Maybe I'll be pineapple once it's longer but right now I just cover with my bonnet and cowash in the morning. I have noticed with using the as I am curling jelly I have a tun of definition on the morning and my hair isn't squished to my head. As far as starting new challenge I've no idea. Maybe we can do a spring/summer challenge.

I tried the Geovanni L.A whatever(???) gel and I like it. It had a lot of slip while applying but it dried super crunchy. The definition is great but I'm going to have to work on the crunch.

I love this stuff! I'm always on the lookout for it on the cheap at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods.

Maybe this thread can just be renamed to the 4 Seasons or All Seasons Wash n go Challenge or something like that It doesn't really need to be renamed. I was just curious.

Thank you! I would never make it to work if I tried to do my hair in the morning

 

[Coilystep]

Napp can we change the name of the thread/challenge to all season wash n go challenge? I know I plan to keep going year round. Is anyone else interested.

I used to do mini pineapples also and it worked great. I could never get the one pony pineapple to work for me.

What did you use to make your pineapples?

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

What did you use to make your pineapples?

Regular rubber bands with a small amount of light oil coating them. I just put it on my ponytails once so it wouldn't make a crease. I had about 7 pineapples lol

Thanks. I have some goody bands. Maybe I can use those.

I will have at least 8. But probably more. I'm glad I live alone

Now that winter is almost over, is this thread going to stay open or are you moving to another thread?

personally, I'll probably move back to the Wash and Go thread

ETA: just read the other posts. If this thread is renamed and all of you ladies are going to be chilling here, I might as well stay in this thread plus there is lots of great info in this thread

 

[krissyhair]

I love a wash and go. It is my primary style since...that's what my hair does! Because of that, I don't consider it a challenge much anymore.

 

[Karmi]

I'm not going to try any further with this gel. It dried my hair out terribly. My hair literally felt like it was going to snap and was supper dry as I washed it out. Stay Away!!!

Oh wow. I was looking at that gel yesterday. Maybe I'll try to get a sample to be in the safe side

Took my box braids out and did finger coils. It's 21 degrees here in Buffalo (home for 2 days) and I have no diffuser. A wash n go is not happening lol. This should last until I get back to Texas. Don't mind the background. Mother turned my bedroom into a storage unit since I moved.
