I've stopped using my denman because of the shrinkage and frizz it was causing. I get much better results from just my fingers. If I'm rushing I use my denman.

Day 5 of my latest wng. Started a new job Monday and have no time to do my hair when I get home. I refuse to sleep in wet hair. I'll do it early Saturday and let it air dry all day.
Xtreme wet line for elongation with a little SSM on top for long wear is the business!

I plan on going back to Wng's next month or whenever I get a new hair dryer. I REALLY hate my shrinkage cause I look like little orphan annie. So I'm hoping that by me diffusing my hair it will help elongate my curls. I am also thinking of trying out deva chan salon's way of elongating the curls. They put clips at the roots while the hair is drying.

I couldn't find a pic where they used the large clips to weigh the hair down. At this point I'll try anything that will help w/ this shrinkage.

I use clips to shape the bang and crown portions of my hair.

I have yet to try Wetline. Which did you like best?For this wash and go, I compared Ampro Olive Oil Gel (left) with Wetline Xtreme Gel (right).

I did a wash n go with Kinky curly on one side and Uncle Funky's Daughter on the other side. I used curl junkie Curl assurance and my oil mix under the gel on each side.Both sides pretty much perform the same.

I like the Ampro Olive Oil Gel better, but I don't think you can go wrong with either. They both give great curl definition, hold and doesn't take away from moisture.

Why? I love Wetline, could there possibly be something better?

Maybe it's too early to tell, but I think I found a recipe for a daily spray. I used The Works recipe from here
The WORKS Spritz
– 3-4 parts water
– 2 parts aloe vera juice
– 2 parts glycerin
– 1 part coconut oil
– 1 part olive oil
– few drops essential oil (your favorite)
Instead of essential oil, I bought some fragrance oils. Right now I'm using coconut lime verbena and it smells great! So far it's keeping my hair really moisturized. I think I read that aloe vera juice needs to be refrigerated, so the only downside is that I keep it in the refrigerator and have to warm it everyday to liquify the oil.

Got my hair dyed on Saturday to get rid of my grays. I decided to only let them dye it. I styled it myself when I got home. I used as I am detangling conditioner and curling jelly. I will be getting my twist install on Wednesday I made my appointment. I will miss you guys while I'm in twists. 
This is my hair today I just let it get wet in shower and shook.

I used the olive oil Ampro gel...hated in. Hair was so dry and stiff and it did not mix well with my leave-in. It was like little curds of cottage cheese in my hair.
Oh no!!!! Sorry it didn't work out for you

I'm wearing my hair in wngs weekly.
I simply run my hands thru it with a little water in the mornings and go.
Tonight I walk into Davids bridal. Two women are staring. The first lady with sisterlocs says, is your hair in sisterlocs? I say no..she says..twists? I say no..this is just my hair. She's like wow!
I tell you, tightly curled 4's are underrated. My curls are the size of a coffee stirrer but fully defined. A lot of people walk up on me like whoaaa!

Water rinsed my hair last night and slathered on the usual oils and diluted gel. I slept with my hair in two bunches (with the ends wrapped in cling film), tied with a silk scarf. This morning took everything down and let the shower steam do the rest.
This is my hair (fully dried) this evening.

You making me wanna try it again.I've been avoiding it while I get my wng technique right, didn't want to waste it.
Please post pics of your wash and go when you get your technique right!
I wanted to post some pics seeing as I've cut my hair but they're not turning out great. I'll try post on the weekend or something after I've washed and restyled it.
