Tentative Hit
Miche Tropical Oasis Anti-Humidity Firm Hold Hair Gel: Seems like a solid choice for a one-product wash and go. We'll see how it holds up over the next couple of days.

Meh
The Doux Bananas Hair Gel
The Doux Honey Dip Honey Butter Gel

Both are all right, and they do what needs to be done as it relates to wash and gos. That said, the Bananas Hair Gel dries hard. I feel like you need some kind a leave-in before you use that. The Honey Dip Honey Butter gel is great, but very, very sticky. For both, I get about 2, maybe 3, days of wear before I have to wash my hair again.

Hit
Finding ways to hide the straight portions of my hair while wearing a wash and go. For whatever reason, the front part of my hair does not curl like the back part of my hair. And it drives me crazy! Bantu knots and flat twists took care of that!

V05 Kiwi Clarifying Shampoo: Gets the job done for cheap ($1.25). Can't beat that!
 
First impressions
Lengthy strands deep conditioner
Very thick. Creamy rich feeling on the hair. Not much slip. You need to put it on soaking wet hair to detangle. I left it on 20 minutes with heat. After rinsing it out, my hair was somewhat soft and shiny. I'll have to try it again a few more times for a verdict. I will say that I used far less leave-in to detangle. That in itself is a good sign.
 
Hit:
Mielle Coiling Custard and EcoSlay Jelloshot for WNG. My curls are defined and the hold is perfect for me. The cast lasts 3-4 days so far. I haven’t tested it past the aforementioned time frame.
Skala Divino Conditioner as a cowash followed by APB Cholesterol as a conditioner. My hair is regaining the moisture it lost through the overuse of hibiscus.
