Still trying to find best products for me. My favorite line though is NaturelleGrow and I also had a lot of success with HairVeda. I was following MHM for a while so there is a microscopic list of approved products. Because of those restrictions, Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle and any sort of flaxseed mositurizing gel have been my primaries for a while. Got a few leave'ins and conditioners from SheScentIt recently and had pretty good success with those.

I am heavy handed. I go through about 2 oz per product per style, otherwise, it just does not get applied. I have been working on diluting products though which is why I like MHM and TJ TTT.

My lenght is WL when stretched, fine-medium strands, medium density, low porosity.

I pinned up one side of my 3 day old wash n go & people couldn't stop oohing & aahhing. They're all tired of my fro! Oh but i'm not done yet!
 
HI Ladies,

Room for one more? I am trying out wash and go for a few weeks. I am not sure I'm able to retain growth without a protective style like braids or weave. Guess time will tell. Today is my day two of this wash and go. Yesterday my hair was very cute. So I will shower now without a shower cap but not really wet hair. Just let a little water hit it. I will put a bit of something in it not sure what lol.
I don't know how to post pics bummer

Cleansing process:
1. Cleanser: DevaCurl No Poo
2. Conditioner: DevaCurl One Condition

------
Styling:
4. Leave in: DevaCurl One Condition
5. Moisturizer: DevaCurl Styling Cream
6. Styler: Camille Rose Natural Curl Maker

------
Results:
The cleansing process start rough because of the learning curve in using the no poo. There was so much slip and no lather so I didn't know if it was all out of my hair. So I'm sitting in the shower rubbing for what felt like all eternity. The one condition is seriously perfection. It has slip, provides easy detangeling, makes my hair soft, and restores my hairs elasticity. This styling combo glided right through my hair. With the styling cream one pump went a long way because it would foam up in my hair as I raked in through. By the time I added my curl maker my hair was complete butter. So all I did was rake, shake, and I was out of the shower in no time. This combo left my hair soft, supple and moisturized.

-----
Final thoughts:
I don't really know how to feel about this combination yet.
  • Pro: This combination made my hair very soft, moisturized and makes detangeling a breeze
  • Pro: I was able to finger detangle throughout the process
  • Pro: Improved hairs elasticity
  • Con: the curl maker and styling cream do not mix well when layered on ? They created a flaky mess so I had to re rinse my hair, apply the products, then scrunch my hair out with a shirt to avoid flaking
-----
Random Hair Thoughts:
Next time I would like to try this same combination but with a different styler other than my curl maker.

This is VERY close to my currently-favored product combination for wash-and-go's. Wow. :smile:

I can't figure out how I feel about the SuperCreme just yet.
 
I guess I just don't love my second day hair this week. Maybe it will take some figuring out the products. So I wet hair in shower again today and used eco gel. I really think my best wash and go was without all these darn products in my bathroom just plain old vo5 and eco. My hair dries fast. I don't understand porosity. Does that mean I have high or low? Pretty much within an hour my entire head is dry before I get to work.

Sounds hipo. Hipo hair quickly takes in water and product and loses water and product quickly. This is because the hair's cuticles (which are like window shutters) are open usually (unless/until mechanically closed or closed with cuticle-closing ingredients/products).

Hopefully others can chime in!

I know there is great info here at LHCF and on YouTube. You can search "hipo" and then "high porosity" here. At YouTube you can search "high porosity natural hair."

I have hipo hair, and still what works for my hair might or might not work for yours.

So far these products seem to help with my porosity-related issues: shampoo rarely (only as needed) and instead clay wash, Shea Moisture High Porosity Masque, DevaCurl Decadence One Condition, Oyin Hair Dew, and sealing with jojoba oil. I have heard that the GHE (greenhouse effect) method helps, as well as periodic henna treatments.

You can research on LHCF and YouTube for details.

This combination is missing something.
  • Pro: my hair has a lot of shine and bounce.
  • Pro: no poo once again proved to be a good cleanser and light detangle
  • Pro: hair was was soft when smoothing in the conditioner
  • Pro: after conditioning my cuticles felt more smooth
  • Con: finger detangling after conditioning was hell.
  • Con: after conditioning, my leave in sat on top of my hair and didn't really absorb
  • Con: my hair knotted up as it began to dry
  • Con: no slip in the styling process

I love your format! I'm going to borrow it, if you don't mind!
 
Did a wash and go on my cousin today (her first). Washed with diluted Giovanni Tea Tree shampoo. Then I used millcreek botanicals jojoba con, followed with AOWC. Followed that with clay, oil rinse and diluted KCCC (I braided and twisted the front).

She has quite a bit of heat damage and but she is happy her remaining curls are popping, and can't wait for it to dry.Instasize_0903234303.jpg
 
so I used a new combo today: Shea Moisture raw shea detangler + wet line xtreme gel.

this was a strange combo. if i put the leave in first and then the gel it works great. but if the hair had any traces of gel first and then the leave in i got white clumps. so far it looks to have dried clear thank goodness.

I dont really like the way my hair came out. it was very elongated and flat looking. i tried to fluff the roots but it still looks flat. any ideas?

@Napp your hair is dry right? Twist large sections of your hair in one direction, smoothing over (in that direction) a few times and then release kinda like this pic I attached... but not like you're wringing your hair, just one direction. It might help loosen up the cast and make it fluffy lol
