Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Coilystep]

I'm at the natural hair show in Georgia today. I purchase several things. I got a q-redew. I got some uncle funky daughter gel. I saw Chime Edwards. I know Mahogany Knots is here too but I haven't seen her.

ETA: on my third day with my Camille rose curl maker. I wet my and shook this morning. No additional product added.

I am so jealous @stephanie75miller , I wanted to go so bad, but it is the same day as my daughter's birthday.

 

[Coilystep]

@Joigirl it was great I'm so glad I went. It's going to be tomorrow as well.

 

[Joigirl]

Wish I could. I am all the way in WI. I may try to go next year.

I need an ultra slippery conditioner ladies.

Can you suggest some of your favorites? I currently use EO Chamomile & Rose conditioner but usually have to order it because its rare to find it on ground. I dont mind ordering but the EO bottles arent big. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm switching to 100% finger detangling and my hair is coiling up on itself extra hard.

I just use Aussie moist conditioner for the most part it has great slip for me. I also like the as I am detangling conditioner it comes in a pump.

I can't believe how good my hair still looks in the third day. It's still very defined.

Here is what I got at the hair show. Lots of samples I'll probably never use lol (taliah waajid products, shealicious moisture lock and as I am). I brought q-redew, uncle funkys daughter curl majic & thirsty curls, loc sock, as I am tank top & detangling conditioner (it came with a wooden bristle brush), and I also got two hair jewelry headbands.

This was my first one. I will definitely be attending more in the future.

I loved the mask it smelled really good. i want the garnier froot loop gel. I'm seriously considering taking back the Shea moisture gel. I need something to make my curls heavy without breaking them.

I'm glad you liked the masque! Hopefully you start seeing some improved length retention soon. Definitely give the Garnier gel a try! lol @ fruit loop gel

I bought the As I Am curling jelly. The entire line was $5 off at Salley's so I got the 16 oz. Smells divine. Can't wait to use!

My current favorite super cheap and slippy is Tressame Curl Hydrator. It's got me slippin' and slidin' in the shower.

I used the Jakeala Nappy butter (really a hair cream) and Shea Amla Parfait under Eco Argan. They soften the hold and provided me with a lot of fullness for day 2. I will probably have to rewash during the week for work. Don't sleep on those Jakeala products for the L and O of your LOC. A little goes a long way. For me they work best with a heavy gel, they are extremely moisturizing.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

Shower steam with Oyin. I pinned back the sides... I added curl smoothie and sealed with cator oil.

I used the Cantu Define and Shine Custard. I think I like it. It didnt really clump my hair; it kind of looks how my hair looks when I just finished washing it and it's still wet, expect more shrunken. And because it didn't clump my curls my hair is also a lot bigger. This also means more frizz but I don't mind that too much.

Applying the product was really quick and easy because it was slippery. I'm letting it air dry and it's drying pretty fast. When I use ecostyler I always diffuse because it takes ages to dry.

I have pics of my wet hair with no product, and pics with the Cantu in my hair, about 80% dry, just for comparison.

Not much shrinkage at all! Looks really nice. It will get even better as the days go by.

I can never find my locsoc when I need it at night. I always wind up looking wild as heck in the morning, lol.

I totally agree with this. I would say it's my favorite thread.

Lol we are just guiding you to the right products

I love snotty gels and I wouldn't consider my hair silky. I haven't been successful with Eco like gels. You should try the as I am curling jelly.

Ditto. Another good snotty gel is Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic. To me, its almost the same as KCCC, but my hair likes it better. I think they are working on more on the ground presence. Two new places in Michigan just got it. I haven't seen any big box stores with it yet though.

I love this thread! It's a lot of fun to see what everyone is using, read tips, get product reviews/recommendations and look at all the pretty wng pics. It used to feel like there weren't many people who liked wngs, but this thread proves different! It's nice to see ppl who love wngs just as much as I do :3

I picked up some curly majic at the hair show yesterday. I'll probably use it at some point this week.

I washngo out of pure laziness. Doing an actual style takes work. A washngo is nothing more than 20-30 minutes of styling ( minus the actual wash process) .

This year I made a promise to work with my shrinkage and actually wear my hair curly 24-7. I might get a crochet style for an important event later in the year but I fully accept that its going to take some diligence in my haircare routine to get my hair to shoulder length curly.

Other students take to much time and planning. I don't got time for all of that. Even with washing and styling time added together the whole
Process doesn't even take me an hour, and now that a light bulb has gone off and I've figured out how to achieve multiple day hair I may never try another types of style ever again.
