I don't. I section, then apply my leave-in on damp hair then gel. I kinda feel like that's my m&s there.
If I do anything else, my clumps fluff out. (And I only finger detangle.)

If I add Curl Activator Gel or Sheamoisture Souffle under any gel, I get a juicy moist washngo.
At night I ponytail, in the morning I usually take down my ponytails and add a little water to my hands and fluff. Thats about it. sometimes I add a liquid leave in to refresh as well.

Saw this today on IG & was reminded of this thread...... I can't be the only one this has happened to!

I have tried sealing with various butters and oils, and it NEVER works for me. My uber high-rated stylist does not use an extra sealant on my hair, either. Someone here at the forum told me I might think of my gel as my wash and wear sealant.
I do try to close my cuticles: I spritz with a mix of cold distilled water and aloe Vera juice, and I mechanically run my fingers down my strands. I'm hipo, though. Then I apply in sections my leave-in and gel.

Yup.
I am acclimating to the same. Sometimes I get good elongation. Other times, my shrinkage even shrinks. 
I've decided I need to learn how to look cute both ways, before I end up texlaxing.

I'm pretty sure I'm apl now and my hair shrinks up to my ears once it's dry. Even when it's wet it's at my shoulders. I feel like I will have to be wl before it's hanging. Most days I like how my hair looks. @Napp I've always loved your hair

@LaChaBla, I love it!!!
Okay, please give me your hair deets.
- What's your curl pattern?
- What's your porosity level? (high, normal, or low)
TIA!

I thought waist length hair would give me a shoulder length wash n go. I was wrong. Sometimes, my hair still shrinks up to my chin.

Nope. Once it's set,thats it! My product usage and technique ensures that I don't have to M &S. If my hair gets dried out thats my signal to repeat the process.

Girl it was just acting up! Lol.. I finally tried some new products tho and it seems to be working. Current favorite combo is cantu curling cream or Eden body works curling pudding with Eco styler gel. Also, curls blueberry control jelly with Eco styler on top has been doing big things for my hair!

Today was supposed to be a only-rinse-with-water-and-restyle day, but Mom came over to surprise me with help with the kiddoes. Can't turn down hair time!
I cowashed, lightly finger detangled, and conditioned all with SM's hipo masque. I moisturized with Oyin Hair Dew.
New: I revisited the DevaCurl gel that came in the Ulta DevaCurl Decadence kit and diffused.
Good, good results!!! Hubby says prettiest wash-and-wear I've yet achieved at home!
Slight issues: It feels way less moisturized now that the gel is in, compared with when I only had the Oyin in. The roots are a little frizzy, but kind of in a good way.
This is a pretty result. Yay! Still seeking multi-day moisturization, though.

Do any of you wash your hair "upside down," as she describes and does in the video below? If so, does it make a (big) difference?

@imperial_acquisitions
I don't. I'm also a firm believer in working in sections and shingling. If I don't shingle I end up with an undefined frizzy mess .

I detangle upside down. And by upside down I mean bent over at the waist with all my hair hanging towards the floor. I also use this method to add products and scrunch my hair to prepare it for a bun. I can fully finger detangle in about 5 minutes and I get bigger buns this way.

Woooooo! Frustration with the EVER-approaching dryness had me go OVERBOARD with product layering and application today. 
I'm pretty sure I did too much: I . . .
I can't even remember WHEN I purchased it. And it's probably not CG friendly or MHM friendly . . . I didn't even check.
Yeah. I need to take a regimen-fixing breather and then go back to a simpler regimen.
I'm pretty sure I did too much: I . . .
- Shampooed with ORS Aloe chelating shampoo.
- Deep conditioned under a hooded dryer with SM 10-in-1 Superfruit Masque.
- Layered IC Green Tea Curl Activator gel, or whatever it's called.
- Layered Oyin Hair Dew.
- Layered avocado oil mixed with Qhemet's Burk Root Cream.
- Layered DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel.
