Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[GGsKin]

In the shower I applied camille rose moisture milk followed by As I Am curling jelly. I didn't really take the time to apply in small sections, just kinda worked it in from roots to ends and raked, smoothed. Honestly I'm not a fan of runny gels because the application process is kinda awkward. Anyway, I like that I washed my hair 9:30 this morning and it dried in 11hrs usually it's still damp by the next day. I also like that it's super soft. Like, no gel cast and lots of movement. The only issue is that this isn't a strong enough hold for my fuzzy roots. I like heavy gels that weigh my hair down at the roots. But I really do like this product overall.

@beauti I am literally drooling over your hair this morning. Absolutely lush.
I love the jelly too. I also had puffy roots when I used it.

So, I was wrong. My hair is fine with being air dried. I just need to twirl it after I put in the curl smoothie.

@LaChaBla twirling was the answer for me. I've always liked the look of air drying best.

I follow a lot of people on YouTube for hair one favs is razorempress. She always keeps it pretty simple. She posted this video yesterday. I like the way she applied her products. I wouldn't use the Eco styler necessarily but I may try her technique. I hope to get to her length one day.

That's pretty much what I do. I actually detangle as I'm putting the gel in my hair especially if it's a slippery gel.

Fresh Washngo with Xtreme Professional Wet Line Gel and a tad bit of Sweet Soul Magic Gel on top.

Used the Tresemme Curl Hydration Conditioner and wasnt impressed until I washed it out. Once the water hit it, softness galor

 

[almond eyes]

I think the issue is not so much the wash and go giving asks but one must really do a good job of detangling with the fingers with a slippery runny conditioner in sections when washing to set it all over again. My last washing session I was in a hurry and the hot water ran out. So I got tangles galore from not detangling properly and not getting out all the gel. Next time I must plan better.

Best,
Almond Eyes

My hair has been extra dry these past few days, so I mixed some honey and safflower oil with conditioner and let it sit in my hair for 30 mins before my shower today. My hair feels a lot better. I might try adding honey into my regular condish and see how that goes.

You can download a pic resize app and post the pic from that folder.

Ok thanks! @AbsyBlvd

 

[iamyattababe]

First pic is last nights wash n go..last pic is my hair this morning. Soft, juicy, and defined..

I used:

SM curl enhancing smoothie
Mielle organics mint almond oil
Jakeala flaxseed gel

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I always wanted to try the SM curling smoothie in a Wng but that high ratio of Shea Butter would never sink into my hair. I'd have a dull gray cast to my hair.

 

[iamyattababe]

I don't use too much just enough to be absorbed into my hair, comb it thru, then apply my gel in smaller sections. Works wonders for me overnight and sinks right in @shawnyblazes

 

[beauti]

Mannn that As I Am curling jelly is the truth dot com! I'm on third day hair. I wore it in a puff yesterday and today but it's very defined. Just my roots are kinda puffy. But my hair is sooo soft! No products added to my puff and its still very soft! The next time I use it I will take my time and really get in my roots. This product is sooo good!

First pic is yesterday's puff and the other is today's

I'm on day four of my as I am curling jelly. My hair is still defined. It's crazy I was styling everyday before. I knew I wasn't going to be able to style everyday when my hair got longer so I'm so happy I figured out how to get multiple day hair. I just hope when my hair is longer that my method still works. I did an impromptu length check and looks like my hair is touching my collar bone. I love how my curls spring back when I pull on them.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

Hey Ladies! Yesterday's hair was pretty dull it's in a puff today...

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Working on 2nd day hair. Steamed in shower then moisturized with Shescentit Coconut quench and sealed with a little hemp seed oil.

Pretty again. Your coils are so cute. Excuse me if I missed it but what is your multiple day method?

Thank you so much. It's very simple. I've been wearing my loc sock at night. In the morning I wet it at the end of my shower I don't soak it just enough to revive my curls. Then I just shake it. It's ridiculous how easy it is. My hair is squished to my head and doesn't look like there would be any hope for it when I take the loc sock off.

I do the same thing. Works like a charm.

My curls are looking droopy and lifeless since my flat iron. I think it's time for a cut. Does anyone know a good Deva Cut salon in the Chicago area? If I can find a good YouTube tutorial, I might cut it myself.

@VinaytheMrs how did you like the honey? Did it make your hair feel good? I really like honey mixed with conditioner on my hair :3

@whiteoleander91 i liked it a lot! It made the application smooth and I wonder if it's the reason my curls were very defined. I'm going to keep adding stuff for sure.

Can you post a pic of what the loc soc looks like on your head? When you say you you wet it in the shower is it both your hair and loc soc? Thanks.

I take the loc sock off prior to getting in shower.
