Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[GGsKin]

Large forehead coming through. Day 4 hair still holding out. I've been doing the same routine of tying down at night after rubbing in some grapseed oil. Shower steam refresh in the morning.

I'll wash it tonight. Yay!

 

[Joigirl]

I'll try this again. Pic from yesterday's 6-day old WNG after battling the wind.

@stephanie75miller, resizing worked even though I was able to post other normal size pics last week. Thanks for the tip!

@AbsyBlvd my forehead is big too you are not alone

- Im out of town and only had time to shower steam. I raked Eco through mostly dry hair. I think it's shed hair but I didn't like the amount lost doing it this way.

@Joigirl omgggggggggg those curls are fire!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Joigirl]

Thank you! Those curls kept my ears warm.

Sorry you're still cold. Thank goodness I live in the south I can't be bothered with the cold. It's been raining all weekend but it's been in the 70's. I actually saw people in boots yesterday and shorts.

Sometimes I really dislike Milwaukee. It is 70 degrees everywhere around us within about 30 miles. Lake Michigan is about 38 degrees so, it acts like a cold wet blanket during this time of the year. It got up to the lower 60's and is now in the 40's. Cold, and now it's rainy.

I know how the Great Lakes can be. I'm originally from Buffalo.

You definitely understand. I don't know how you dealt with all that snow!

Y'all were right, that la bella gel is a no go. I think it might be ok for a twistout but def not a wng. I also tried out elasta QP feels like silk gel. A friend of mines gave it to me yrs ago and I'm just now trying it. I like it better than the bella gel. Hopefully i wont have any flakes. I don't plan on taking my twist down until wed.

That's why I moved down south once I was able.

a few wash and go vids I came across on YT





I really like Fusion of Cultures wash and go, she makes me want to give runny/snotty gels another try lol

 

[whiteoleander91]

okay I swear I'm done lol

 

[Karmi]

Hey ladies. I got my wet line extreme gel WnG to take me through the work week plus Saturday. I wore it out up until Wednesday then in puff till wash day Sunday. I really like this gel. I used it again for this weeks hair but this time on damp hair. I won't go a full week this time because I like cowashing once a week. My hair loves water.
Here's my puff from Thursday.

 

[Karmi]

^^^ fusion of cultures is one my natural hair inspirations. Her hair is the absolute business! I swear after I watched one of her videos I headed straight to the bathroom to big chop!

 

[discodumpling]

Just came in for my morning fix! Joi...dem curls though! they look so smooshable and lush! Vinay i'm thoroughly enjoying your wng journey, learning right along with you
that LaBella gel is the debil! It's not even fit for baby girls ponytails. It was a fail from the 1st use, I just can't bring myself to throw out $3!!

Todays wash n go.

Why have you stopped using gel? Have you cut off the heat damage you had? You nave to wait until you've cut that out. Are you wetting your hair regularly? Have you tried different conditioners and moisturizers?

You're so sweet. I'm trying to stay on MHM so the only gel I can get on ground is KCCC but I have a tight budget and I can't stand making fsg. I'm cowashing every 2/3 days. I'm getting a trim at the end of the month hopefully that'll help

You would be doing better to pick up some As I Am and use it versus skipping the gel altogether. Sealing with something is better than sealing with nothing on MHM.

I really need yall to understand what my hair looks like when I wake up
After a few sprays of Oyin and a shower steam I was good to go. I had to touch up a few spots in my bangs with gel. EVOO to seal & overall my hair feels great!!! Maybe washing tonight.

Me likes! I think I'll have to try As I am. Is it the same consistency as the cantu curling custard

Yes it's has the same consistency. I really like gels with a snotty like consistency. I actually like the as I am more than the cantu. It's a better quality in my opinion. So far I've used the cantu curling custard, creme of nature twirling custard and the as I am curling jelly. The as I am is the best in my opinion

Love your results. Your hair always looks on point.

 

[GGsKin]

After 5 days no wash/ rinse, my hair is refreshed and still very wet. Rinsed through some grapseed and sunflower oils and finished with KCCC. Although I am now heading off to look up the As I Am Curling Jelly thank you very much

ETA: My hair this morning, not fully dry.

Is the As I am Curling jelly more affordable?

If you get it I hope you like it. I like that I can get from almost anywhere. I've gotten it at Walmart, target, CVS, and Sally's. Sally's has the 16oz containers which is more cost effective.
