Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Joigirl]

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.

Enjoy the short styling sessions while they last. Washing, Detangling, DC and style take two hours now that my hair is MBL. It still isn't bad since it usually lasts a week.

Update on the Cantu. Ugh. It's flaking really badly. Such a shame because I really liked it. I'm gonna have to wash my hair again it's that bad.

So I was able to get 4 days out of my wash n go. I redid it this morning. I used the curl maker again.

Sorry it did not work for you. You should try the as I am curling jelly. It goes on the same but you can definitely tell its a better product. I've never got flakes with it.

Yes this thread is an obsession! I'm learning so much. I got tons of compliments on my hair today. It feels strong and moist!!!

It didn't flake the second time for me and had my hair looking great. However I don't like the crispy dry feeling, I need a good leave in for it and their brand is recommended but I'm not buying anymore of their products, they don't work for me. I've tried about 4 of their products multiple times. So oh well,I'll just use it if I do my hair daily.

Lady asked me did I have a straw set and then looked dubious when I said no.

It always irks me when folks assume my hair doesn't naturally doesnt curl

We as a people are so uneducated about our hair sometimes . Which is so flustating at times. One person I was with this weekend did a bc like a month after me and some of the stuff she was saying had me giving the

Hi Stephanie, you seem to have mastered the wash and go. I like your curls. How do you keep your strands from getting single stranded knots. I have been doing wash and goes and I love it and I think my hair cannot go longer than four days, I pushed it to six days and I could see the difference in more SSK. But I also believe that if I do not wash all of the gel out properly this is when the SSKs happen. Also what do you do at night for your hair besides hair scarfing?

Thank you. It has been a lot of trial and error. I haven't gotten any ssk and I do t know why I haven't. Last was the first time I was able to achieve multiple day hair and I think four days is as far as I will stretch. 2nd and 3rd day were the best days. Previously I would just throw my bonnet on however last week I used a scarf and that seemed to work better. My hair was squished to my head but when I got in the shower hair came alive again.

I probably need to go under the shower a bit as opposed to just putting an oil moisturizer. Thanks.

Day 1 today. Last night I water rinsed, clay washed. I used KCCC and decided to keep the front braided for a couple of days. Hair first thing, then out and about getting some breeze on my scalp.

I think water is best it. I think it's what has been the key in my regimen.

Beautiful results.

@stephanie75miller Thank you.

Y'all got me wanting to try out this Garnier fruit loop gel. Lol! I'm hopeful that I'll find it, Garnier is French after all right?! While I was in states I did get a few jars of KCCC and while I love it, I do kinda miss the heaviness the S-curl provides. But I'll just have to get used to it if the Garnier one is similar.

Ecostyler works fine the first days but the protein screws me over bigtime when I try restyling and/or on wash day. KCCC costs double/triple here than in the US and I can't find S-curl, so I'm putting all my chips in the Fruit Loop gel bag. Here's hoping I find this thing!

I plan on doing a wng on an old twistout today. This will probably be my last wng until june. I plan on wearing my hair straight for the month of may. Well at least that's the plan

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I dont know how yall style in the shower. I love washing my hair in the sink in the kitchen. Im able to get all of the conditioner out of my hair , however when I'm in the shower It always seems to have more residue. I dont know if its the force of the water. ( thinking now)

My hair hangs lower in the shower because Im standing up and I like detangling in a downward manner, I just cant seem to get all of the conditioner out when i cowash.


Used Tresemme Undone conditioner. Not a fan. Its thick and creamy but it doesnt feel like the nourshing one used to.

Then used Sweet Soul Magic leave in and gel. Currently sitting under the dryer.


Now that I think about it, maybe its the consistency of the conditioner. Its too thick.

PLEASE SAY IT AGAIN! I am envious of you ladies with shorter hair that can poof and go. I can't wear a poof to save my life and that was my favorite hairstyle when I bc'd.

 

[SlimPickinz]

Oh I've begun to finger detangle. Why do I punish myself without sleeping with my headtie??

Pink Eco + Smooth N Shine Instant Repair Serum + CR Curl Love Moisture Milk

I really like this gel. It clumps my curls just enough that I have nice definition without giving me "helmet head". My hair has a lot of movement today. I applied the serum first, then the curl milk, and then the gel. I smoothed only and after everything was applied, I wet my hands and smoothed the water over my hair and gently shook my head.

 

[VinaytheMrs]

Time to wash!!! 4th day hair...

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I'll be washing again. Hair just white and flaky in some spots.

Picked up the Tresemme Curl Hydration Conditioner to cowash with in the morning.

I will probably layer Xtreme Wet line gel under my SSM gel this time. Well, depending on the dew points.

In the shower I applied camille rose moisture milk followed by As I Am curling jelly. I didn't really take the time to apply in small sections, just kinda worked it in from roots to ends and raked, smoothed. Honestly I'm not a fan of runny gels because the application process is kinda awkward. Anyway, I like that I washed my hair 9:30 this morning and it dried in 11hrs usually it's still damp by the next day. I also like that it's super soft. Like, no gel cast and lots of movement. The only issue is that this isn't a strong enough hold for my fuzzy roots. I like heavy gels that weigh my hair down at the roots. But I really do like this product overall.

I follow a lot of people on YouTube for hair one favs is razorempress. She always keeps it pretty simple. She posted this video yesterday. I like the way she applied her products. I wouldn't use the Eco styler necessarily but I may try her technique. I hope to get to her length one day.
