Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Coilystep]

I've been sick so the last wash and go I did was rushed and not so defined. I will redo it this evening. Do you guys do the loc method on your wash and go?

Sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you feel better soon. I have not tried the loc method.

Hope you feel better! I use the LOC method. I use a leave-in, butter and then a gel. I might skip the butter/oil if I am using a curl styler with a lot of butters or oils in it already.

Feel better! I sometimes do LO with leave-in and oil, then gel. Sometimes i just do leave-in. My hair doesn't need much sealing because it is low porosity. It will stay wet/damp for days, but i do seal more in Michigan winter.

Hope you are better now!

I have recently tried the variations to the LOC method and it gives me hair that is so wet it never dries. i do like the feeling of using shea butter in my hair (my current sealant) so i am going to try and make this work.

I recently tried some gel and i didnt like the look, feel or drying time so i am strictly using creamy stylers and shea butter

Hope you're feeling better! I didn't realize it but I am doing the loc method. I'm using danabnatural's method of applying argan oil under my gel and it is working really well for me. Dries very soft.

Today's Wash n'go

 

[Coilystep]

Welcome ckisland.

 

[Coilystep]

Happy with how my hair turned out today. Glad I got it dyed yesterday not a grey hair in sight. I used design essentials leave in and gel again. I'm really starting to like this combo. Funny note: hair dresser used the same products yesterday. I like my results better.

 

[oneastrocurlie]

I did something a little different today. I applied APB Green Tea and Aloe oil to my hair after detangling with SM Purification Masque and let it sit for about an hour. Then while DCing I applied APB Ayurvedic oil to my scalp and then rinse a while later.

My hair was pretty soft during the whole wash day process. Well see if my scalp doesn't get as dry this week.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep my hair at this length and give my nape a chance to try and catch up or grow the cut out.

FINALLY!

So did my wng but I used some different products this time. I got some samples of a new product called hair envy. After I washed with my Aussie moist I applied hair envy styling butter topped with my cantu leave in. Then I applied hair envy perfect curls gellee. I typically dont use gel unless I'm going out (like to the club where it can get hot or during monsoon humidity) but I used it cause I wanted to try it I like how my hair feels. Not sticky or crunchy, just right.
Me and my hair arent very photogenic right now but here are some pix

Pix are from today after almost a 10 hr shift

Thank you ^_^
So far I like the stuff I've used. I also have some oil, another type of gel, and a moisturizing spray from them to try.

I love the scent. Very tropical but light and not overwhelming

Thank you .

I have this dream of being able to get everything my hair needs from one one the ground product line. I really want it to be Eden BW's because it's easy to find, black owned, and won't leave me poor . I love the Tea Tree shampoo, Jojoba Monoi DC and Curling Creme , but hated the leave-in and I can't remember how I felt about the Cowash. I could see if Cantu can supplement what I'm missing.

Does anyone only use products from 1 or 2 lines?

I use different lines and they are all on the ground because I like the convenience of having things on the ground. I primarily use Aussie moist conditioner, as I am, shea moisture, curls unleashed, curls, design essentials, eden body works, and fruit of the earth aloe vera gel. When I do my hair I will co wash with one of the conditioners then use one of my stylers. This has worked for me so far.

Currently 90% of my current products are from the novex line. I LOVE their products. In 2015 I'm sticking with what I have and not jumping around so much.

 

[ckisland]

Well, my go splurge on hair products idea just went up in smoke. Broke college student doesn't have those kinda funds . Thankfully, I still have a mixed match stash to use up. Plus after that I can give homemade products a try. I really want to make a perfect fsg and leave-in

Let me go edit my initial post

 

[MissMusic]

2nd Day Hair, used Kinky Kashmere All-In-One Conditioner, Natural Girls Rock Avocado Oil and Xtreme Wetline Gel.

Watching from the sidelines.

 

[beauti]

what had happened was...I still didn't wash my hair still rocking that old wash and go that wasn't very defined. My scalp was dry the other day so I just greased it with vatika oil, stepped in hot shower and the steam reactivated my curls very nicely. I'm still planning on washing my hair though

 

[bronzephoenix]

Wng using Camille rose AJTB and Garnier pure clean gel. I loved the definition and the consistency of this gel. It didn't dry too crunchy either. Really pretty smell.


Next time I'll apply it differently though... Shingling with it gave my curls a "stringy" look. I prefer chunkier clumping.

Yeah. That pure gel is FAB. Wish it was in a bigger size.

 

[krissyhair]

I am on day 3 of a wash and go

The first day I washed sulfate free, deep conditioned, finger combed, moisturized and put it in a bun. Wore it in a bun all day for it to dry.

Yesterday in the morning I let my bun loose and used some gel to define

Last night I put my hair in 5 twists, shook it out this morning, and moisturized with a hair cream.

3 days of stress free wash and go hair.

I would knock down some folks for a gallon of Pure gel !!! I looooove the Pure line, but I wish there was a leave-in or DC . My inner pj is itching to get out so badly!!! But Imma be strong!!

I woke up today and decided that I'm not using direct heat until my 3rd year. I was thinking of my hair idols (Zhara, 1Ballerina, Naptural85, and Ellepixie), and they all use no to very little heat, have super simple routines, and use very few, all natural products (Ellepixie is the only pj ). I've been on this track before and it works for me. By taking out heat and scissors, I can make WL by my 3rd year

 

[uofmpanther]

Yesterday was my induction date, so I washed my hair with black soap and Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship. Then I put in Oyin Hair Dew, and then I ran Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic (old formula) through my ends and used Eco Argan oil on my edges. Then i put it up in a top knot bun.

My hair will probably stay like this till i get home and settled.

I've done the same thing. I haven't had a blow out or flat ironed my hair since I've been natural (2.5 years). I am waiting for my three year anniversary.
