Natural 4B\'s and Shake N\' Go

Okay I am taking this from the summer style thread.

Any natural 4B's here attempt the Shake n' go only to become a shake n' stop?

I tried it in the summer and all I got was a wet afro which I still rocked regardless because it still looked funky enough to pass as a delibrate hairstyle.

I am getting my hair colored this weekend and I can't wait attempt the shake n' go again. The main problem I have with it is how dry my hair gets later on in the day and not to mention shrinkage.

maybe its coz my hair's more lik 4c (more kinky than coily or wavy) and what it means is that doin the shake n go only results in my hair llokin lik i stepped out of the house and forgot to comb it that mornin

hwell: i dont kno, it looks reall cute on this guy i kno who alternats between that and cornrows and has girls feenin real bad for him (me included) so mayb i shud ask how he does it

what his regime is and what he's doin later on

I am a 4b, and I shake n go everyday, except for the days my hair is in twists. I feel like anyone can shake n go, but the look will be different depending on hair type. When i shake n go, my hair looks like a wet afro, cause that is what it is. I love it though. Even though my hair shrinks down to a 1-2 inch fro, it is really growing with the less is more hair care routine of shake n go's. The only thing I am concerned about is the dryness of my coily fro by mid day. That is why I am looking for a good leave-in. N-e way, wash n go, shake n go, do it till ya satisfied, and have fun.

Before I cut my hair to a TTWA I would attempt to shake-n-go. I would apply Sebastions Potion #9 on soaking wet hair and shake like crazy add a headband and go!

I have also used ORS lock and twist gel and IC gel with great results. No dryness or crunchies. I always use a leave in as well.(except with #9) You can check my album for pics.

ETA I think I'm mostly 4b as well

Go 'head, playa' playa'!

Most men seem to have great looking natural hair without even trying. No fair!

My hair feels moisturized longer when I use olive oil on top of my conditioner. I also carry a small spray bottle of diluted conditioner if I feel like my hair needs it during throughout the day.

This is my problem...I want my hair not to be too dry by mid-day. I am still in search of the ultimate leave-in because my hair super thirsty and just drinks up whatever I put in it. I just took out my braids so I guess right now I will focus on doing a lot of conditioning and my the time summer comes around my hair should be ready to shake n' go.
