Relaxed wash and go-ers. Naturals can chime in too

[sweetpineapple]

What product(s) give you the best curl? From doing searches so far I've read BTZ Noodlehead and John Frieda's Dream Curls. What works for you?

 

[sareca]

I've been meaning to try noodlehead, but not combing between cowashes gives me the best definition.

Here's my hair the day I detangled it...

Here's my hair after my first a cowash (no combing)....

I used the EXACT same products. The only difference was the comb.

Cantu leave-in. I didn't even do wash and gos before a relaxed fried showed me this product.

I am a natural, but I have been using BBD Glass and it has been good for curl definition for me. I am waiting for my Kinky Curling Custard to be delivered, so after I try that I will report back on how that is working.

IC Gel with sparklites and LA Gel works best for me

I'm 6 weeks post now but I could do WNG style on my hair after a month's post relaxer. I just add some IC gel with water and scrunch. I get gorgeous curls afterwards.

Are you ladies relaxed bone straight? I am and I can't get anything better than wavy hair for a wash and go.

Yea, I am relaxed bone straight so my hair would never air dry with wave definition. Maybe if I was texlaxed or something I can get away with that...

I usually just air dry with Fermodyl 619.



Then when it's completely dry I either:


Do a twist out...



Do a braid out...



This is the only way I can get a "curl" or something to my hair.

When I was relaxed I would use conditioner and mousse and scrunch my hair here is a throw back pic. I scratched my face because I looked busted but my hair was on point. I believe I used a V05 conditioner with honey mixed in it and...oh I forgot the name of the mousse it was in an orange container...if I remember I will update.

Here's another pic I forgot I started using Smooth n Shine Curl activator gel and that was the best

Fantasia Gel!

The products that are staples for me are V05's Lavendar Luster w/ silk proteins, Catwalk's (by Tigi) Curls Rock Leave-in Moisturizer, and Paul Mitchell's Super Sculpt Styling Glaze! About a quarter size of each make for great wash n' go's!

BTW, I'm texlaxed....even though I sometimes look more texturized (more curl).

The pic below is in essence what my hair usually looks like after I add products (they're not added in this shot though). And when I clip it up the products lock in moisture and curl so it stays like this all day.

Definitely Noodlehead and a Denman brush. The denman really helps create the curls.
