Have an appointment with my Deva stylist this morning. My last (and first) Deva cut was in February of this year and I haven't had a trim since. I'll be sure to post pictures.

 

[GGsKin]

Its been a while because I've been wigging, I wanted to see my hair this week. Here's day 4 hair today.

 

[LavenderMint]

My wng from earlier this week. I still love/hate conditioner. Frizziness was somewhat abated by going back to soaking wet application of leave-in & gel. I think I need to revisit the dilution of each.

 

[Amarilles]

@Amarilles , very pretty. It looks like a twistout.

Oh actually! Twisting the hair first and applying the gel as I unravel each one is one of my "hair compressing/volume control" methods, lol. You can't see it in the pic but I had the back twisted, and in the front bang area I had a twist that wasn't unraveled at the roots yet. The TO look doesn't last since I unravel and gel them while they're still drenched, but it gives me better control on how big or not I want the hair to end up, depending on how many twists I do.

Thanks so much girls

I'm back & I love my cut. More than I did the first time. I went to the same stylist and she told me that she kept the length of my hair and just removed some of the bulk. I have a lot of hair so this should make it much easier to manage. I played around with it once I got home so it has some frizz. I'll be sure to keep going to her once every 5-6 months.

Hi, this is my first time posting here

This is a pic of my wash and go on 4C hair, something new I'm trying. I never, ever thought my hair could wash and go, but I've been doing the modified (simplified) MHM and I actually have coilies now Work in progress.

My regimen:
Clay wash (sodium bentonite, irish moss powder, slippery elm powder, acv), sometimes overnight
Apply Diluted FSG gel in applicator bottle (FSG, slippery elm, little honey)
Shake it and go.

That's it. Oh, I also do the CLCT every few weeks.View media item 128443

I discovered pretty early in my natural hair journey that I don't really like cream stylers, but this video right has me wanting to try the deva curl super cream.

OMG I am with you Gel stylers work best for me but this video looks tempting.

I have been in braids for the last 3 weeks and will be taking them out tonight.

 

[Coilystep]

This is day seven I will be washing tomorrow. It has been rainy the last couple of days.

 

[Anaisin]

Since this is a wng thread, you can get the Camille Rose Curl maker or As I am curling jelly at jet.com free shipping. Also if you spend $35 you get $15 off

I bought the Camille Rose Gel for braid outs though, my hair is heat damaged so I no longer do wng as usual

 

[whiteoleander91]

Shampoo'd, conditioned, deep conditioned. Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-in + Argan Oil Eco.

Like I said in an earlier post, I've been finger detangling exclusively for the past 2 months (more or less). I like the way my curls look, and I feel like I'm retaining a lot more length. My hair has really grown since my cut.

 

[Alta Angel]

I did my first WNG this past Wednesday night using my leave in of Elucence MB, aloe vera juice, castor and olive oil. My styler was Eco Styler Argan Oil Gel. Since I did the WNG at night, I sat under the dryer for a bit 30-45 minutes so that it could dry some. I used baggies and a silk bonnet to sleep in it for the night without pineappling in 4 puffs.

Hence the reason I woke up with a shrunken jheri curl in the morning...

I am washing/steaming/DCing tonight and I will try it again; but I will also use 4 puffs. I liked using the plastic caps because I didn't have to do to much to it in the morning.

 

[uofmpanther]

I did a wash n go with Camille Rose Curl Maker, and I love it! It reminds me of Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic.

One of these days, I'll figure out a way to upload pictures. In the meantime, sorry for the size. I'm hyperlinking from my blog.

So I'm digging the soft hold my hair has. My stylist used Deva Curl products on my hair yesterday and I cowashed and styled my hair today using Wen. I usually use KCNT for my wng's but I want something that can give me the soft hold that I have now. Deva Curl products are too expensive for my liking as is Wen. Wen also has silicone which is not good for my low po hair. Can you ladies recommend any creamy hair stylers that will give me soft yet defined hair? My hair tends to get frizzy so it would have to be very moisturizing. I would also prefer something I can get on the ground. TIA!

I'm low porosity. Have you tried Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream? She frequently has 30-40% off sales on her direct site.

You could also try using conditioner as your Leave-in. I did Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship once and it turned out ok. I just prefer gel.

I Agee with @uofmpanther you may want to try jane Carter curl defining cream or Jane carter incredible curls. I've used both before I just prefer the hold and longevity I get with gel. You can find Jane Carter products just about everywhere. Another option is cantu coconut curling cream and their curl activator. Both smell really good and are cheap.

Last week I brought twisted sista amazing dream curls cream gel. I used it last night for the first time. It has a light scent and has amazing slip. I'm pleased with my results so far.

 

[kellistarr]

Here is my Monday morning wash n' go, except I didn't go right away, I waited an hour and then finished drying my hair with my soft bonnet hair dryer. I sat under this for about 15 minutes on low. This is my new thing that I do when I want to go, but I don't want my hair to air dry with outside air or because I need to hurry up and go to sleep. Around the house I usually air dry. My regimen is usually, wash, (today it was with Wen Fall Apple), condition, (2 Chic Giovanni), Leave-in (Biolage) and my styler is a new gel for me, LA Looks Sport Gel #10+ I am liking this gel! It's texture is light and I don't have to work it in (like I do my beloved Eco Krystal gel). I am feeling this gel and I think it cost me about $2.00. I'm loving the hold and the shine. I usually wash my hair 2x weekly sometimes 3, I put my hair in a ponytail at night. I just shake it out. I don't refresh with water, leave-ins or anything.
I can go an entire week and keep my style, if need be, but I don't like to do that.
The Hair in white shirt is wet, hair in pink shirt is dry.

I played around with my gel to water ratio after clay washing & conditioning yesterday. More gel, less water.
My results are very different from "normal" but nice and no frizz. I need to work on my gel application technique. The gel is crunchy today but I'm hesitant to scrunch it because that causes tangles. Shingling..... That looks so labor intensive but I may need to give it a shot.

Looks good. I found that shingling and working in sections helps a lot. I'm sure to cover all my hair with product. I think full coverage ensures less frizz and tangles.

This is the first time I have been able to maintain a wng for more than two or three days. I don't know if it was the higher percentage of gel or the new conditioner (my hair didn't poof out with the Crece Pelo).
Or, it could be the humidity.
Left is day 3 hair, right is day 4- today.

Quick question. Did you see how your stylist removed the bulk from your hair? Was it the "triangle" method; where they part the back of your hair in a triangle to remove some of the bulkiness.

I wanna try to remove the bulk of my hair and create some dimensions and I found a really good tutorial. I was gonna try that and then shape the cut.

This isn't exactly what she did. She sectioned my hair into 5 sections - 2 in the back, 2 in the front and 1 in the crown area. The sections were squares and rectanglar parts not triangle as shown in the video with the exception of the crown section which was more of like an oval shape. For each section, she used her fingers to make a row, fingered out each curl and then held her index and middle fingers together and used them as a guide of where to cut. For the crown section however, instead of aligning her fingers straight across and then cutting, she held them at an angle (like at a curve/half moon) and then cut. So basically she cut the four sections of my hair like normal, i.e. straight across, but removed bulk from my crown area by cutting at an angle. This is why when you look at my hair, the shortest pieces are in the crown area. She also cut my hair in the front so that it framed my face. Let me know if that makes sense lol.

Here is an update on the twisted sista gel. It has lasted all week. My hair was super defined all week. I would definitely repurchase at this point. Here are pictures from Thursday morning

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

Yes, that Twisted Sista is good.

Missing my Washngo in crochet braids for the last 4 weeks. I have a fingercomber wig to try out next. Ladies looking good
