Do you have any products in your hair with the pictures you provided? If not, you look like 3c/4a.

When I was natural I did my wash and go like this (I wasn't on LHCF then, so I'll tell you what I used when I wasn't on it):

First wash with a moisturizing shampoo
Second DC with any moisturizing conditioner
Third Comb through Kinky Curly knot today
Fourth with my fingers I applied the Kinky curly custard
then fifth use a few clips, or handband to style.

I only did this style in the summer so I can let it air-dry in the sun.

you literally just wash and condition your hair as you normally would and GO
the key is to all your hair dry without fiddling with it--no styling, etc if you must, run some leave in condish through and leave it alone.

A wash and go is simple. Here's what I do pretty much on a daily basis.

Rinse hair with water in the shower.

Once I get out of the shower I apply a lot (like 2 palmfuls, but it just depends) of castor oil on my soaking wet hair. I make sure I get my ends really well and the parts of my hair that my headband will touch.

Then I wrap my hair in a t-shirt (turban style) while I get dressed so that all the excess water is absorbed. When I'm ready to go I take the t-shirt off, put on my headband, and go.

You just have to figure out what will work best for you. I use castor oil so that my ends don't get dried out. I don't brush through my hair or anything because my hair is too tightly coiled for all of that. At most I'll detangle in the shower with my fingers, but I usually let the water do most of the work.

And I can't tell if your hair is 3c or if it's heat stretched. Looks like it could be 3c though. Do you have any dry pics?
