Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Coilystep]

Two years straight of wearing extensions. I had just transitioned and cut off all of my relaxed ends before I put in my first set of crochet braids so I literally had no idea of what my natural hair needed.

Wow sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can turn things around.

Your hair is looking too cute and it is definitely growing!!!

I am still trying to get a hang of using this new forum....ugh.... but those of you that are able to post pics....I am in awe of you! and everyone is looking great. God I missed this place, lol

Thank you I've been feeling pretty good about my hair. I can tell its growing. Just wish it would speed up.

I'm Loving the new format of the forum definitely a better experience than the app.

I cowashed with vo5 extra body then a short DC with Aussie 3 min moist then rinse. Added 3 min back in then shirt dried. Argan oil in sections followed by clear Eco. My hair has a huge chunk broke in the front I'm so confusedmaybe from the Finger coils from last week.
All good ... First pic shows my texture with conditioner only then gel. Next pic is wet hair then dry. Wondering if gel caused breakage??? My hair is very fine.

Love the finger coils. Maybe you pulled to hard on part that's missing. I wear finger coils a lot I haven't noticed any breakage.

Ok, I'm loving the wet line extreme gel. I applied it to dry hair doing the shingling method very slowly.

@VinaytheMrs - You may need more moisture between your strands and the gel. My front and top sections are fine and fragile. I go heavy on moisture and light on gel in those sections.

Very nice. I've tried applying gel to dry hair a few times. I always end up wetting my hair. I may have to try again.

No this is just shingled. I tried coils last week.. I probably did twist too hard. Lesson learned!

I will look at some of your old posts for product suggestions. Do you think conditioner flowed by Argan is enough? I am getting some shea butter this weekend.

@stephaniemiller75 - thanks! This was the first time I did a WnG on dry hair. I did another twist out (FAIL) so since my hair was nicely moisturized I figured I'd give it a try. I like it, will try again.

I've given up on doing twist outs. They do not work for me at all.

My hair yesterday. I used extreme wetline gel. Second day hair is awful with this gel! It flakes like nobody's business. The updo is day two hair. You can see the white flakes. All I had was oil under the gel.

every time I scroll past your post I swear I think it's one of my pics lol.

I like leave ins that are a little thicker than conditioner. With this WnG I used Camille Rose avocado and castor oil leave in and added a little sweat almond oil then my gel. I'm also testing out alovera juice diluted with a little water, leave in, then gel.

ikr! @whiteoleander91 . Seeing your pics is like looking into the future for me.

I used Eco today too for my WNG. I forgot how well it clumps! I'm trying to get my hair to dry before bed (under the dryer now)

 

[Coilystep]

Good morning today I used creme of nature twirling custard and define and shine mousse. It's looks good so far. I'm hoping it doesn't dry flaky. Can't put my finger on what it smells like. It's seems to be lingering it doesn't smell bad but it's perfumy.

 

[Joigirl]

I fell back in love with Eco Argan. It clumped my curls up perfectly! I paired it with the DM Butter Creme. Still can't quite figure out this uploading thing!

My hair is looking so awkward with the different curl pattern in front. I feel like getting a cut but I know these stylists will cut more than I tell them to.

Oh well

I have the same issue, but I am going to leave it for now... Along with that annoying tail in the back!

My front and part of my left side have different curl patterns. I'm embaracing them I thought about cutting but I think they will just grow in the same way so. I'm on wait and see mode.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

I'm pretty sure the front is looser for me as well. I wish my whole head matched the bangs... I will have to see what happens as it grows out.

Yeah, I imagined it would still look awkward...just shorter.

@Joigirl ...the tail....its driving me crazy too.

I have a tail in the back as well. If I put my wng in a ponytail it looks stupid because the bottom of the pony has hang time while the top is short and just sits there lol looks like someone cut my ponytail

 

[Amarilles]

I can't stand my tail. I think it's really only a problem when my hair is still very wet, once it dries it all shrinks into a V shape thing which I can live with for now.

I'm using the S-Curl gel as of late...really like it. Works as well as Ecostyler for me but plays better with my condish. And don't mind the braid in the front! That area needs help

 

[BillsBackerz67]

Very rarely have I seen a person with 100% uniform curl pattern throughout their entire head. Def Is not the case with me. Don't cut In hopes of a more uniform texture cuz it will grow back the exact same way lol.

 

[beauti]

Yeah I cut the front of my hair a few weeks ago thinking that very loose texture would change. Um...not the case! Lol. Not only is it still loose, but now ifs short also
