Ladies, Can I Do Wash And Go's? Your Thoughts, Please!

[miss_a]

Ladies, I have been "transitioning" for the past 3 years. I'm ready to let go of my weaves and wigs (and those last scraggly, relaxed ends!)...so ready.

I need help in putting together a Wash and Go routine. Any ideas, based upon my texture, the products that I should be reaching for or YouTube hair gurus I should be watching? Any ideas/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

 

[Thump]

Your hair is beautiful.

@miss_a Two YouTube beauties Journey to Waist Length and What the Kink have great wash &go videos. High density hair, ranging in curl types with product recommendations-great videos.

Your hair is very beautiful. You can do wash and goes and whatever you want! Just a matter of getting g comfortable with your hair.

Gorgeous hair. Whenever I do wng I always follow naptural85's routine.

I don't see why not but a wng won't look it's best until you cut the heat damage off.

Eta: I see that's your relaxed ends your already planning to cut. A wng should be fine.

Your hair is lovely! I second naptural85.

Thank you, @Bunnyhaslonghair, seeing the straight ends in comparison to my natural hair--is where I can really see the difference in my hair's health. And TY for editing your comment, I was like heat damage, oh no, where!?!?!?

Your hair is oooo La Laaa. Those relaxed ends are not worthy to even touch your hair anymore. They are dismissed.

@Saludable84, TFS. I may be searching incorrectly, but I don't see TraceyKISS on YouTube. Do you mind linking one video?

Girl, you got this! Go for it.... come back, post pics, and let us know how it turns out. Naptural85 is amazing. There are lots of others I have been getting into over the past year too.

On another note, I applaud you and the other ladies who can effectively execute a terminal transition from relaxed to natural on long relaxed hair. Ya'll are the real MVP's cause honey...I didn't have the patience for all of that and I'm an EXTREMELY patient person. I think I was just anxious and ready to really start my natural hair journey back then.

I highly recommend doing MHM. It will restart your hair and that way you can figure out what products work best for your texture. Napural85's old wash routine is very similar to MHM.

@Napp , thank you ! How did I miss the wash n go thread? Thank you for the invite!

@shortycocoa, you made me laugh! All my stylists would be looking at me like this , while I'm in the chair! This has been a journey--an absolute journey. And yes, now that it took me 13+ years to get over my fear of posting pics--I'll let our board know how things turn out.

@Guinan, thank you for putting MHM on my radar screen. Wait. I gotta do ALL those steps ?!?!?

Please do continue to post hair pics. We deserve to see that beautiful hair more often.

Wait a minute...WE are LHCF and we sending her to Naptural85 to learn about a wng? We have an ongoing wash n go thread...WE are about that wash n go life and have many proven techniques products and secrets to to perfecting your wash n go in that thread. I would go there 1st. Napptural85's wash n go (and most of her other methods) are quite time consuming imho.

Well I'm glad you are comfortable now! @ the bolded, that was one of the things that prevented me from trying it. I still want to try it, but that's just too many steps and I don't like anything that has a lot of steps. There were a few youtubers that had condensed the method to shorter steps, but it still seems pretty involved.
