I tried several wngs, but each time it looks more crazy.

Front of my hair is too loose, it's almost straight naturally.
The back gets defined curls and the rest is frizzy.
Seems the thicker my hair gets the more curl definition it looses. Any one else experiencing this?

What products and methods are you using? How do you normally wear your hair? Do you staighten?
 
Thank you for replying @stephanie75miller.

Straighten once every 3-4 months.
Wash with cream of nature shampoo once a week, clarify with herbal essence naked shampoo when needed, usually once a month.

After shampoo I dc with Aussie moist 3 minutes for about an hour with plastic cap, no heat.
Rinse out and apply Jessie curls leave in, or Darcy botanical daily leave in.
Seal that in with grape seed oil.

I usually use Anthony Dickey method but my hair dont stay moist anyone, it becomes dessert dry.
I like buns mostly. Braid/twist outs comes second.

I used to wear wngs all the time, and it stayed moist for 2-3 days.
Now after my hair dries it's too dry, and lacks curl definition.
I must remoisturize and put up in a bun.
 
@bluenvy you may want to incorporate some type of gel. I think the gel is needed to lock in the moisture. Also think about about shingling either with fingers or even a denman brush (be very careful only use on small sections).
I've attempted the Anthony Dickie method before but it yielded subpar results compared to what I get now.
Shingling and working in sections works wonders for me. It may take a long time to do however I'm only doing my hair once a week. My hair stays moisturized all week very rarely do I reapply products. I will reapply if I feel the need to usually it's just my bang area that gives me problems.
As far as products I find I like to use a cleanser (con argan oil moisture & shine shampoo, as I am coconut cowash etc), a rinse out conditioner (I almost always use Aussie moist conditioner), a leave in (as I am, Camille rose, mop top, shea moisture), and a gel (as I am curling jelly, Camille rose curl maker, mop top curly custard, twisted sister amazing dream curl cream gel).
This may be an unpopular opinion but I choose not to staighten. I think it kills your curls. I haven't gotten my staighten since last year. When I did my hair felt different/limp when I washed it. It took a couple of washes before it felt normal again. I also had anxiety the whole time so for me it's not worth it and it didn't stay straight for very long.
I hope this helps.
 
I'm baaack! I've been MIA under a wig these past 4 months but I've had to give it a rest as after about 8 weeks the spirit gum and alcohol was starting to irritate my skin. Anyway, I took my hair down last week and trimmed/ dusted on Friday. I've been wearing my hair in my face to cover my rash- which is clearing up slowly. Today is day 3 hair, after a diluted shampoo (Giovanni Tea Tree), condition with AOWC, clay wash with rhassoul and sodium bentonite, and shingling with a mix of Flaxseed gel and Kinky Curly custard..loving the volume on day 3.2015-12-21_21.20.04.jpg

Water rinsed my hair last night, applied some grapeseed oil on the length, sunflower oil on the ends, rinsed some more and then shingled in my diluted flaxseed and kinky curly custard mix. Slept with it in two bunches tied with a silk head scarf. Took them down this morning, still very wet. Day 1.2015-12-23_08.50.52.jpg2015-12-23_08.47.34.jpg
 
I heard kiss my face upper management gel changed formulas and had to try the new one. Last time I was natural this gel was holy grail status so I was hoping the reformulation didn't change that. This is first day hair after putting it in a pineapple for a few hrs and refreshing with my q redew.

What I like about this gel is I don't have to be cautous about how much I use. With eco styler the results aren't consistant. I can have a great full wash and go one time and the next time a sparse limp one. This is my second time using the kiss my face and the results are the same as the first.

So it looks like this gel is still holy grail status. My hair and me are happy.

 
I've stopped using regular conditioners as leave in's because of the flakes for now, in the meantime i've been getting my best WnG's with SM Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Eco/Wetline
 
Wngs comes out better now. I been wng for last few weeks. But temperature dropped to -3.
My roots don't fully dry by time I leave home.
So I will alternate to other styles until warm weather comes back.

Thanks @stephanie75miller for your suggestions.

After I apply moisturizing leave in, I then add herbal essences set me up gel.
Thanks @BillsBackerz67
I bought this gel from your post mentioning this.

This is my latest wng results.

It's funny because I knew my hair grew quite a bit since I bc'd in May but I didn't realize how far my wash and goes came until today. I did a conditioner only wash and go the other day and just looked at my conditioner only wash and go from May and there's quite a bit of growth from the two.

Here's the comparison pics. The first is from the end of May 2015


The second is from the beginning of Jan 2016
 
Got my hair dyed last week. Usually get a rinse. This time I decided I wanted actual dye was tired of it running every time I wash it. So she did a Demi permanent. It's violet. I'm liking it so far. I was worried about it changing my texture and possible dryness. I haven't had problems with either yet.image.jpeg
 
image.jpeg image.jpeg I pre-poo'd for the first time today! I used coconut oil. Applied in sections and left on for ~45 minutes. My hair felt soooo soft and wonderful when I rinsed it out. Shampoo'd w/ Aussie moist and conditioned with Jane carter condish. Half up half down wash and go. I cut my hair right after Christmas b/c I have no impulse control, apparently lol

I bought some Camille Rose products during a CVS 30% sale a few weeks ago. I got the coconut water penetrating hair treatment, coconut water style setter and the curl maker. So far I'm liking all three. I'm not crazy about the smell of the curl maker, but the scent doesn't seem to linger once it dries.

The coconut water styler was too thick for me. I gave it to my friend. My hair doesnt like coconut anyways but I wanted to try it out. Your hair looks great!
 
On Saturday I purchased a hooded dryer and I decided to dry my hair. It took about an hour and a half to fully dry. My hair came out pretty awesome. The dryer has three temperature settings , timer, diffuser and it's on a stand. I purchased from local beauty supply for about $60. Here is pictures of dryer and my hair today this is day 3image.jpeg image.jpeg
 
Looking good! I have a portable hood dryer that's a pain to set up. Never thought about one on a stand.
